AI App Builders
Base44
Base44 is an AI-powered no-code platform founded by Maor Shlomo (former CEO of Explorium) that enables users to build fully functional web applications using natural language conversations. Acquired by Wix in June 2025 for approximately $80 million, it has grown to over 2 million users by December 2025. Base44 handles the entire stack — from frontend UI to backend logic, databases, authentication, and hosting — with integrated Stripe monetization, external LLM support (OpenAI, Claude, Groq, Mistral), and source code export to GitHub or ZIP.

V0 is an AI-powered development tool by Vercel that excels at generating beautiful, production-ready React and Next.js components from natural language prompts. Originally a UI component generator, it has evolved into a full-stack app builder with Git integration, one-click Vercel deployment, and enterprise-grade security. Its deep integration with the Vercel ecosystem makes it particularly strong for Next.js projects.
