Base44 vs Bolt

Base44 is an AI-powered, no-code platform that allows users to create and launch fully functional web applications by describing their ideas in plain English. Acquired by Wix in June 2025, Base44 is designed for founders, small teams, and non-technical users who want to build functional prototypes quickly without coding. 

Base44 includes everything needed to deploy an application, such as a built-in database, user authentication, and hosting, eliminating the need for separate third-party integrations.

Bolt.new is an AI‑powered, browser‑based full‑stack development platform built on StackBlitz’s pioneering WebContainers technology. Launched in October 2024, it allows users—technical or not—to build, run, edit, and deploy web or mobile apps by simply describing what they want in plain English. Users can build both frontend and backend functionality, integrate tools like Supabase or Stripe, and launch their apps in just a few clicks. Designed for rapid prototyping and MVP development, Bolt.new is especially popular among non-coders and indie makers looking to turn ideas into live apps quickly.
