What each week held
Read in 3 of the last 12 weeks. The other 9 were not read at all, and are drawn empty rather than as quiet.
The bar is observed claims in that week. A dashed marker is a week this company was not read at all — not a quiet one. Inferences and failed reads are in neither.

Everything on record
10 observed claims. Newest first; the tag on each row is what kind of claim you are reading.
- PRODUCTFACTSep 28, 2026
Between September 19-21, 2026, Base44 shipped several 'Superagent' features: outbound calls now report results back into the originating conversation across WhatsApp/Telegram/iMessage/web chat, Telegram chats get an AI-written welcome message, the mobile app gained a dedicated Superagent tab, and workflows can now trigger on user signup or login in addition to publish/payment events.
Expands Base44's agent/automation capabilities beyond app-building and marketing into cross-channel conversational agents, broadening its competitive surface against dedicated agent platforms.

On September 22, 2026, Base44's SEO & GEO tab (available on Builder plan and above) added an 'AI Visibility' feature showing whether AI assistants can read an app's pages, which pages they used, and how a model describes the app.
Extends the growth/discoverability positioning into AI-search visibility, giving Builder+ tier users a new comparative benchmark against competitors' SEO tooling.
base44.com/changelog - PRICINGFACTSep 28, 2026
As of September 22, 2026, Base44 raised the integration-credit cost for any in-app agent or integration call running on Gemini 3.8 Flash to twice its previous rate; the model and its functionality are unchanged, and the increase follows a price rise from the model provider.
Builders using Gemini 3.8 Flash-powered agents/integrations will burn through integration credits twice as fast, raising effective cost for that usage path.
base44.com/changelog - PRODUCTCOMPANY CLAIMSep 13, 2026
Wix-owned Base44 began rolling out its own custom AI model in June 2026 to power app creation, aiming to eventually outperform frontier models rather than relying solely on third-party LLMs.
Signals a defensibility/positioning shift toward proprietary AI infrastructure, though this launch predates the last ledger check and is noted for completeness rather than as new since 2026-09-06.

On September 10, 2026, Base44 redesigned its AI chat 'Plan mode' from a fixed set of question cards into a free-form conversation where the AI reacts to user input, asks about genuinely missing information, and lets users type ahead of prompts.
Changes the core app-building UX in Base44's primary product area, a workflow buyers evaluating vibe-coding tools would compare directly.

Base44 launched native Google Ads Performance Max campaign management on September 9, 2026, letting builders create and manage a live ad campaign directly from Base44's chat or dashboard, built in collaboration with Google.
Extends Base44's prior growth-tool positioning (SEO/social/analytics) into paid user acquisition, deepening its pitch as a full post-launch growth platform rather than just a builder.

Public sentiment on Base44 is sharply mixed, with third-party aggregation noting Trustpilot showing roughly a 2.5 rating from 660+ reviews, with a high share of one-star reviews in the last 12 months.
Indicates a persistent reputation/quality complaint theme relevant to competitive positioning against Base44.
emergent.sh/learn/base44-pricing - POSITIONINGCOMPANY CLAIMSep 6, 2026
Base44's homepage now emphasizes growth features beyond app-building itself, including AI-driven SEO/discoverability scans, automated social content generation, and analytics dashboards "from within the platform," positioning it as a full post-launch growth tool, not just a builder.
Signals expanding scope of buyer-facing capabilities beyond core app generation, relevant for feature-parity comparisons.
base44.com/ - PRICINGFACTSep 6, 2026
Base44's current plan structure is Free, Starter ($16/mo annual), Builder ($40/mo annual), Pro ($80/mo annual), and Elite ($160/mo annual), with a 20% annual billing discount and custom Enterprise pricing; the system uses separate message credits (for building) and integration credits (for live app usage).
Establishes the pricing baseline for future comparison; buyers evaluating cost-per-tier should use this as the reference point.
base44.com/pricing - FUNDINGFACTSep 6, 2026
Wix.com acquired Base44 in June 2025 for an initial payment of approximately $80 million in cash, with additional earn-out payments through 2029 contingent on performance metrics.
Base44 is no longer an independent competitor but an owned subsidiary/product line of Wix, changing its competitive positioning and resourcing.
