You can adjust your subscription as your needs change. Your plan’s features and usage limits update right away, and billing is automatically adjusted.
Upgrades take effect immediately after you pay.
You only pay the difference between plans for the rest of your current billing cycle.
You get instant access to all new features and higher usage limits. Your past credit usage stays the same.
Example: If you upgrade from Starter to Builder halfway through the month and have already used 100 message credits, you pay about $10, which is half of the $20 difference. Your monthly message credit limit increases to 250, and your usage shows 100 of 250.
To upgrade an existing plan:
Click your profile icon at the top right of your workspace.
Click Settings.
Click Plan and billing.
Click Upgrade on the plan you’d like to upgrade to.
Select your preferred billing cycle:
Yearly: Save with an annual discount and extra benefits.
Upgrade to a yearly plan anytime and save with annual pricing. Your new billing cycle starts immediately.
When you upgrade from a monthly to a yearly plan, you are not charged twice for the same period. The amount you already paid for the current month is credited and deducted from your yearly plan cost, so you only pay the difference needed to cover the rest of the year. There is no separate refund.

Click Settings.
Click Plan and billing.
Click Manage Payments under your current plan.

Note: If you want to change both your plan tier and billing cycle (for example, from Starter monthly to Pro yearly), you need to first upgrade your plan tier, and then switch to yearly billing.

What happens to my workspace if I cancel my plan?
Your workspace downgrades to the free plan, which limits features and capabilities. You won’t be charged at your next renewal date.
Will my app stay live if I cancel my paid subscription?
When you cancel your paid subscription, your app is downgraded to the free plan. Your app stays live, but you may lose access to features that are only available with paid plans.
How do I claim the free 1-year domain included with my annual plan?
To claim your free 1-year domain:
Click Dashboard in your app editor.
Click Domains.
Click Buy Domain.
Search for your desired domain.
Look for the option marked as your free domain in the search results.
Select this domain to claim and connect it directly to your app.
Which plans include a free domain?
The Builder, Pro, and Elite plans give you a free domain for one year. You have to have a yearly plan to get the free domain, it is not available on the monthly plan.
Which domain extensions are included with the free domain voucher?
The domain extensions you can get with your free domain voucher depend on your region and on what the domain provider makes available at the time you redeem the voucher. In most regions, country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are not included, although there can be regional exceptions.When you redeem your voucher, you only see domain extensions that are currently eligible in your region. If a specific extension does not appear in the search results, it is not available with the voucher and you need to purchase it separately. If you want to check availability for a specific region, contact us with your location and the domain extension you are interested in.
What happens if I switch to a yearly plan after I’ve used all my credits?
Credits are monthly on all plans. Switching to yearly changes how you are billed, but it does not reset your credit counters mid month. If you have already used your monthly credits, you do not receive a fresh set when you switch to yearly. Your credits renew on your next monthly reset date shown in your workspace.Example: If your monthly cycle starts on the 19th and you switch to yearly on the 24th, you do not get new credits on the 24th. Your credits reset on the next 19th.
Can I move from a yearly plan to a monthly plan?
You cannot change an active yearly subscription to a monthly plan yourself in your billing settings. According to our Terms of Use, yearly plan fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable.If you upgraded to a yearly plan by mistake or your situation has changed, contact us and explain what happened. Our team can review your case and, in some situations, may cancel the yearly upgrade and apply a prorated refund so you can subscribe to a different plan. Any change is decided case by case in line with our Terms of Use.
What can I do if I accidentally upgraded to the wrong plan?
If you upgraded to the wrong plan or chose the wrong billing cycle (for example, yearly instead of monthly), contact Base44 support as soon as you notice the issue. In your ticket, explain what you meant to buy and what was actually charged.Our Terms of Use state that fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, but support can review your case and decide whether an exception is possible. If your request is approved, you receive a prorated refund minus processing fees. Your new billing cycle begins on the day of the adjusted charge.To avoid this in the future:
Check that you selected the right plan and features before confirming payment.
Make sure you chose the billing cycle you want (monthly or yearly).
Review the total amount on the checkout page before you complete the purchase.
How much storage space can I use with my plan?
Base44 does not set a fixed overall storage limit per app or per plan.Instead, there are limits on individual uploads (such as maximum file size and supported formats) that apply when you or your app’s visitors upload media or data. These limits can differ by file type (e.g. images, documents, data files).
To check the latest per-file upload limits and supported formats, review the file limits.
Can I make private apps?
From 6 February, 2026, private apps are a paid feature. You need a Starter plan or above to create new private apps.If you are on the free plan and already have private apps from before February 6th 2026, they will continue to work and you can still edit them. However, you will not be able to change a private app to public and back to private again without upgrading.
Are there paid plans for using the Base44 backend?
If you are using the Base44 backend platform, it is currently in beta and free to use. It uses your integration credits, not a separate backend subscription. If you need more features or higher credit limits, you can upgrade to one of the regular Base44 plans.
