Base44 Rescue

Your Base44 app stalled, or you need to get out of it

Base44 handles the database, authentication and hosting for you. That removes a lot of early work and concentrates the risk in one place — what happens when you need something it does not do.

Why Base44 apps break in production

Base44 problems split into two kinds: the app misbehaving inside the platform, and needing to leave the platform without losing the data. Foundreco audits a Base44 project in 72 hours and quotes one fixed price for either path, starting at $1,500.

Symptoms specific to Base44

A feature you need is simply not possible on the platform
The data model cannot express what your business does
You cannot get a clean export of your own data
Performance degrades as records accumulate
Integrations with your other tools are not supported
You are locked into pricing that no longer works

What actually breaks in Base44 projects

Data locked in a proprietary shape

Exports frequently arrive flattened, with relationships between records lost. Rebuilding those relationships is the bulk of any migration and gets harder the longer you wait.

Platform-shaped logic

Business rules implemented with the platform’s own primitives have no direct equivalent elsewhere and have to be rewritten deliberately.

Authentication tied to the vendor

User accounts and sessions live inside Base44. Migrating means moving users without forcing every one of them to reset their password.

No access to the runtime

You cannot profile, cache or optimise what you cannot see, so performance problems have no fix except leaving.

Can you take your Base44 code with you?

This is the central question with Base44, and it should be answered before you build anything else on it. The audit establishes exactly what you can extract, what you would lose, and what a migration to a codebase you own would actually cost.

What happens next

Send the Base44 project link and the audit comes back inside 72 hours, severity-ranked, with one fixed price from $1,500 to approve or walk away from. If it should be rebuilt rather than repaired the audit says so, and the fee comes off the rebuild. The six steps and the rescue-or-rebuild table are on the rescue hub; every price is on the pricing page.

Base44 questions founders ask

Why does my Base44 app work in the editor but break in production?
Base44 runs your app on its own infrastructure, so "works in the editor" and "works live" are usually the same thing. The problems appear later, at the point where the platform’s limits meet a requirement your business genuinely has.
Can I export my Base44 code and host it myself?
This is the central question with Base44, and it should be answered before you build anything else on it. The audit establishes exactly what you can extract, what you would lose, and what a migration to a codebase you own would actually cost.
How much does it cost to fix a Base44 app?
From $1,500 at Foundreco, quoted as one fixed price after a 72-hour audit rather than billed hourly.
Is my Base44 app secure?
Platform-level security is Base44’s responsibility and is generally sound. What the audit checks is your configuration — permission rules, which records each role can reach, and any integration that widens access beyond what you intended.
Should I fix my Base44 app or rebuild it?
The audit answers it directly, measured against the decision table on the rescue hub.
