Base44 builds web apps. Bilt builds native mobile apps
Base44 generates web applications from AI prompts. But web apps can't access device hardware or live in the App Store. Bilt creates true native mobile apps from prompts.
The mobile gap
Base44 is a fast way to generate web applications. But native mobile apps require native toolchains, device APIs, and app store compliance that web builders can't provide.

Feature comparison
Built for native mobile
Chat-based app creation
Describe your app in natural language and Bilt generates a full React Native codebase. Same prompt-driven workflow, purpose-built for mobile.
iOS simulator in your browser
Preview your app on a real iOS simulator streamed to your browser. No Mac or Xcode required.
One-click App Store publishing
Publish to the Apple App Store and Google Play with automated build pipelines. Go from prompt to published in minutes.
Instant backend & APIs
Spin up databases, authentication, and APIs automatically. Your app gets a production-ready backend without separate tooling.
“We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.”
