The short answer

What is the best Base44 alternative for selling an AI app?

Starty. It builds your AI app from a sentence and then runs the business around it. Customer questions land in one support inbox the agent answers, you see who pays, who went quiet and who asked to cancel, and you track retention and AI cost per customer, not only traffic. You approve every send, charge and refund.

Why people switch

Why people look for Base44 alternatives

People comparing Base44 competitors usually have an app working already. What they need next is the business around it: one inbox for customer questions, a list of who pays and who left, and numbers beyond traffic. That is the part Starty runs, which makes it the Base44 alternative for people selling an AI app.

The app works. The business does not run yet.

Customers need answers, and you need to know who pays and what your AI really costs. Starty does that work from the first sale.
