# Base44 ## Kurzbeschreibung **Turn your ideas into apps** **Base44 **is an AI-powered app builder that creates functional apps using natural language. Officially, Base44 lists productivity apps, back-office tools, customer portals, and complete enterprise products among its target use cases. In addition to the builder, the platform also includes authentication, database, storage, email, payments, integrations, backend functions, and hosting. ## Claim Build Apps with AI in Minutes ## Geeignet für - API Integration - Automation / Workflows - Customer Service & Chatbots - no Code App - Productivity & Planning - Knowledge Management / Internal Search ## Kernfunktionen - App Development - Programming - Website Creation ## Preismodell - **free:** **Free Plan** – includes core features such as authentication, database functionality, and analytics. Officially, Base44 states 25 Message Credits per month; regarding Integration Credits, there is conflicting information on the official pages, so no confirmed number is given here. - **subscription:** paid subscription plans: Starter, Builder, Pro, Elite. Subscriptions can be taken out monthly or annually. Starter is intended for initial apps/projects; Builder adds, among other things, backend features, domain, GitHub integration, and model selection; Pro expands for more complex applications; Elite offers higher credits and premium support. - **other:** **Enterprise / Custom Sales **for larger organizations; in addition, Base44 works with Message Credits and Integration Credits, which are reset monthly depending on the plan. There are also Promo Codes/Gift Cards as well as a separately mentioned backend offering, which according to the documentation is free while in beta. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional **Base44 **is officially a SaaS app builder with a public **DPA**, but without a reliably documented self-hosting, private cloud, or EU residency path. The official security/subprocessor status currently primarily lists US service providers; integrations with internal/external APIs only create an indirect hybrid path. The no-training statement is only partially reliable because the DPA limits personal data to service purposes or anonymized/aggregated use, but does not provide a clear general “no training” statement for all content. **Conclusion:** From a GDPR perspective, Base44 is conditionally suitable. For simple prototypes, internal tools without sensitive personal data, and enterprise use with a DPA, EU/UK data residency, and proper privacy review, Base44 can be justifiable. For applications involving health data, particularly sensitive data, strict EU data residency, or requirements for on-prem/private cloud hosting, Base44 is currently only recommended to a limited extent because standard hosting and many subprocessors are US-related and EU data residency does not cover all data and processing layers. [Data Processing Agreement](https://base44.com/dpa) [Privacy and security](https://docs.base44.com/Community-and-support/Privacy-and-security) **Base44** provides a DPA/AVV, references GDPR, SCCs/DPF mechanisms, and security measures. However, a critical point remains: by default, data is stored in the USA; EU/UK data residency is only available for Elite/Enterprise, only for newly created apps as of April 16, 2026, apparently rolled out gradually, and applies only to stored app data, not necessarily to processing. **Positive** DPA/AVV available; Base44 states GDPR compliance, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001; subprocessors are said to be contractually bound; international transfers are safeguarded through adequacy decisions, SCCs, or the Data Privacy Framework; data deletion and data subject rights are addressed. **Negative** The default region is the USA; many subprocessors are based in the USA, including Mongo, SendGrid, Render, Google Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Supabase, and Datadog. Base44 uses third-party AI providers; I could not find a clear, blanket statement in the official Base44 documents saying “customer data is never used for training” as an unambiguous sentence. **Server location: **USA. Since April 16, 2026, Elite or Enterprise customers can, according to Base44, choose EU or UK clusters for app data. Limitation: the feature is being rolled out gradually, applies only to newly created apps, account and billing data remain in the USA, and according to Base44, data residency governs storage, not necessarily processing.
