Describe an app in plain language and get a working full-stack web application, backend and database included, no code required. Wix acquired Base44 for $80M cash in June 2025.
An agentic coding IDE pairing an editor with autonomous coding agents, renamed Devin Desktop after Cognition AI's acquisition, keeping the same editor and Claude/GPT/Gemini model choice.
Catalog updated: August 2026
Base44 and Devin Desktop both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding.
Choose Base44 if…
Best for non-coders who want a complete app, database and all, generated and hosted from a plain-language description, and its edge is deploys the finished app to a live public URL immediately, no infrastructure setup required. Fast for a simple app, now folded into Wix's product suite, and complex logic still needs manual work. Lean toward Devin Desktop instead if cascade operates as a persistent coding agent that plans steps, writes across files, and runs terminal commands matters more for your use case.
Choose Devin Desktop if…
Best for developers who want an AI agent that actively works across multiple files, not just suggests the next line, and its edge is cascade operates as a persistent coding agent that plans steps, writes across files, and runs terminal commands. A genuinely capable autonomous agent, still newer software, expect occasional instability on complex tasks. Lean toward Base44 instead if deploys the finished app to a live public URL immediately, no infrastructure setup required matters more for your use case.
