AskCodi vs Base44
Base44 is Wix-owned, moves fast and will set up a payment account for you. Its credit rules are the harshest here and they are written down plainly, which is more than most manage.
- Base44 provisions a payment account for you. We do not. You connect your own Stripe.
- "Credits are non-refundable for tool behavior and AI mistakes." That is their documentation, not our reading of it.
- Unused Base44 credits expire when they reset. Every AskCodi paid plan returns its full price as tokens.

docs.base44.com ↗ - What happens when it runs out
- AskCodiBuilding stops and waits for the next month or a top-up. A site that is already published keeps serving, because hosting is its own subscription rather than part of the allowance.
- Base44"When you reach the daily limit, features that use credits pause until your daily balance resets, as long as you still have monthly credits left." Top-ups are not documented.
docs.base44.com ↗ - Taking payments
- AskCodiNot wired into the builder. You connect your own Stripe and the money arrives in your account, in your name.
- Base44Base44 Payments, powered by Wix. You prompt the chat with "Enable online payments", then connect and accept the terms and the service fees. Another thing they have that we do not.

- AskCodiNot published yet.
- Base44None. "Any credits you have not used expire when they reset."
docs.base44.com ↗ - What the money buys
- AskCodiEvery paid plan returns its full price as tokens. $29 buys $29 of model work.
- Base44"Credits are non-refundable for tool behavior and AI mistakes." A reply cut off mid-stream is not charged, and stopping before the first reply costs nothing.

Where they are better
What Base44 does better.
Written by us, about them. A comparison where one side wins every row is a comparison nobody should believe, including this one.
- Payments, provisioned for you.
- The gallery. Something over 1,300 template pages against our nine.
- Wix behind it, and a partner directory to hire a human from.
- Their credit documentation is unusually blunt. You will not be surprised later.
