In this video, I try Base 44 for the very first time and put it head-to-head with Lovable, Magic Path, Bolt, and V0. I build apps, test integrations, and compare design quality to see which AI tool comes out on top.

Timestamps:
00:00 – First look at Base 44 & background on the tool
02:27 – Exploring templates, styling options, and first build test
05:52 – Adding features, integrations, and comparing to Lovable’s workflow
09:40 – Testing OpenAI chatbot integration inside Base 44
13:20 – Same prompt, 5 AI builders – design quality comparison & verdict

In this first-impressions review, I explore Base 44, an AI app-building tool recently acquired by Wix, and compare it directly with other popular no-code/low-code AI builders—Lovable, Magic Path, Bolt, and V0. I start by checking out Base 44’s templates, styling presets like neomorphism and glassmorphism, and how it generates a fully functional app from a single prompt. The tool includes built-in back-end dashboards, user data management, and an easy way to preview and adjust designs.

I also test Base 44’s “Discuss” mode for brainstorming features, integrate OpenAI to create a shared chatbot for all users, and examine the depth of its customization compared to competitors. Finally, I run the same SaaS landing page prompt through all five tools to compare design quality side-by-side. While some outputs lean heavily on gradient-heavy AI patterns, others like Magic Path offer more minimal, polished designs. By the end, you’ll see how Base 44 stacks up in speed, features, and first-shot visual quality against its main rivals.
