BEFORE YOU READ ON1 of the two is not what it was

BASE44ACQUIRED SINCE 18 JUNE 2025Base44 was acquired by Wix and is no longer independent. Acquired by Wix in 2025. Unlike most acquisitions in this category it kept growing after the deal, Wix put Base44 at roughly $150M ARR as of May 2026 in its own Q1 2026 results, and its Q2 2026 results (released 4 August 2026) still credit "strong Base44 performance" for group revenue up 15% year on year, so "acquired" here does not mean "avoid".

THE VERDICTderived from the rows below, so it cannot say anything the table does not

On the prices each vendor publishes about itself, Base44 starts at Free, then $16 / mo and Replit Agent at Not read. Before that decides anything: Base44 was acquired by Wix and is no longer independent. (since 18 June 2025) Neither takes your own API key, both bundle model usage, and on both the headline price is an allowance rather than a bill. Every figure on this page was read from the two vendors' own pages in last night's run rather than written down once, which is the only reason it is still the current answer. ToolDrift sells neither and takes no referral fee on either.

THE QUESTIONS3 answered from the rows above

Is Base44 or Replit Agent cheaper?

On the cheapest option each vendor publishes: Base44 is Free, then $16 / mo and Replit Agent is Not read. Treat both as an allowance rather than a bill, every tool in this category meters model usage on top of the plan, and which one costs more in practice depends on the models you drive and how hard. The tier prices are the part that can be checked from outside, so they are the part this page prints.

Can I use my own API key with Base44 or Replit Agent?

Base44: no, model usage is bundled. Replit Agent: no, model usage is bundled. It is the row that decides whether the subscription price is most of what you pay or a fraction of it: a tool that takes your own key charges for the software, and one that does not is reselling inference with a margin you cannot see.

Are Base44 and Replit Agent still maintained?

Acquired and Active as of last night's read. Base44 publishes no repository this site tracks, so there is no push date to read; Replit Agent publishes no repository this site tracks, so there is no push date to read. One caution: Base44 was acquired by Wix and is no longer independent. (since 18 June 2025) This is the question a written comparison cannot answer, because it was true on the day it was published and nobody went back.
