The two differences that change the math
Build with the AI you already pay for
If you already pay for ChatGPT (Codex) or Claude Max, you connect it to Infusion and build without counting credits. In Base44, you buy credits.
In Base44, the app's AI depends on credits
In Base44, the AI and the agents inside the app use integration credits. When they run out, those app actions fail and show an error.
Questions about Infusion and Base44
What people comparing the two ask most.
Yes. Both build full apps from a text description, with screens, database, login and publishing. The difference is in how you pay for building: with purchased credits or with your own AI subscription.
No. Credits already come with the plan. If you already pay for ChatGPT (Codex) or Claude Max, you can connect it and build without depending on credits.
According to Base44's documentation, every app action that uses integration credits, such as AI calls, agents, sending emails and generating images, fails and shows an error.
Your app stays live, because credits and infrastructure are billed separately. Credits are for building, and the app's machine has its own fixed price. When credits run out, you can connect your AI subscription and keep building the app the same way.
