AI Code Ownership: No Vendor Lock-In, No Paywall
· 5 min read
Base44 locks GitHub integration behind their $40/month Builder tier, and even then only frontend code exports. Backend logic, database schemas, and server-side code stay locked on Base44's servers permanently. Stop paying and you lose access to everything you built.

Code ownership shouldn't be a paid upgrade. The code was generated from your idea, your iteration time, your prompts. It should be yours from the start.
