About the template marketplace

The template marketplace is your shortcut to building great apps on Base44. Browse a wide range of ready-made templates created by talented creators in the community. If you are unsure where to start or want to skip hiring a partner, templates make it easy to get going right away. Just choose a template and customize it to fit your needs. If you prefer to keep templates private to your team, you can create workspace templates instead of listing them publicly. Workspace templates reuse your app across a single workspace without appearing in the public marketplace. Learn how to create and manage workspace templates. You can also earn money by publishing public templates for others to use in the marketplace. Set your own price or make them free and reach a wider audience while showcasing your skills. For internal-only use, keep templates as workspace templates so they are available only to your team.

​
Accessing templates

Go to App Templates in your workspace to browse all the templates in the library. When you access App Templates, you can see both public templates from the community and any workspace templates your team has created.
  • Workspace templates: Visible only to your team, located on the My Templates tab and labeled with a Workspace badge.
  • Public templates: Available to all Base44 users, located on the Community tab. These listings can be free or sold for a price.

When you use a template, it is copied into your own workspace where you can rename it, change the content, update the design, or modify how it works.
Notes:

  • If you want to use a template that uses backend functions, you need to have a Builder plan or higher.
To access app templates:
  1. Click App Templates at the top of your workspace.
  2. Hover over a template and click View details to see more information, images, and usage stats.
    Tip: Click the My Templates tab to access templates that were created by you or others in your workspace.
  3. Click Use Template (for free templates) or Purchase (for paid templates).

Publishing and selling public templates

You don’t need to create something complex to share as a public template. Simple apps, reusable layouts, or creative tools can all be helpful to others. If you have made something useful or fun, you can add it to the community app templates library. You can choose to offer your template for free or set a price for others to use it via the marketplace. When managing your template, keep in mind how updates work. If you publish changes to your app’s functionality (like bug fixes), new users receive the latest version automatically without you needing to resubmit anything. However, if you change the listing details (like the description or price), you must resubmit the listing for approval.

Improving your listing

If you want your template to stand out, start by focusing on solving a clear problem for others and choosing a catchy title. Add a helpful image and description that show your app in action and make its purpose easy to understand. The most successful templates have clear and friendly language, and include strong visuals that highlight your app’s value.

Tips for improving your listing

Images:
  • Show your app in action with real-looking data
  • Use clean, full-screen views
  • Avoid blurry or empty screens
  • Use horizontal images: 1200x675 pixels (16:9)
Description:
  • Say clearly what your app is for and who it helps
  • Use short, friendly sentences
  • Avoid overly technical or complex language
Tags and categories
  • Pick tags that describe what your app does (like “productivity” or “social”)
  • Avoid adding too many tags

​
The approval process

After you submit your listing, the Base44 team reviews it to make sure it meets community guidelines. Listings that don’t follow these guidelines may be rejected. If your app is approved, it appears in App Templates for others to discover and use. Base44 may decline or remove a listing if:
  • Spam or broken: The app listing is spam or is not functioning.
  • Private setting: The app is set to private, which prevents others from viewing it.
  • Community rules violation: The app includes content that breaks community rules.
  • Screenshots do not match: The submitted screenshots do not reflect the actual appearance or features of the app.
  • Missing security settings: Apps must complete a security check to be eligible for publishing.
  • Broken functionality: Some features in the app are not working as intended.
  • Invalid or non-compliant app name: The app name uses terms like “template,” version numbers, or other values not allowed by store policy.
  • Duplicated app without chat: If your app is a duplicate and does not include chat functionality, please send the original app with chat history.
  • Mismatched categories: The categories selected do not match the app’s purpose or functionality.
  • App has never been published: Apps must be published at least once before being submitted for review.
Important:
  • Final approval depends on Base44’s internal guidelines. The team may remove listings that do not meet broader community quality standards, even if a specific reason is not listed above.
  • The approval process may take some time. We appreciate your patience.
