    • Deployment directly to the Internet Computer blockchain
    • App Market for browsing and remixing published apps

    vs BASE44−0.6

    Points at a database schema and builds the working app around it.

  5. Atoms

    4.0$20/mo

    vs BASE44Same price−0.4

    A multi-agent AI platform builds and deploys full-stack web apps from natural-language descriptions.

    • Race Mode, build the same app with multiple models in parallel and compare
    • Atoms Cloud backend included by default (auth, database, hosting) without separate setup

    Backend, auth, and payment integration come bundled instead of billed as add-ons

    Brand relaunched in January 2026, so long-term track record under the Atoms name is thin
