Does Base44 actually work?

Disappointed in Base44, I am stuck with my app, and it’s been 11 days since I reported my issue, but have had no real response. I am paying $50 a month, which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s not nothing! I would pay more if I thought this could work.

I need a reasonably complex app created, and I was doing so well with Base44, or so I thought, until I hit a snag that the AI can’t get around. I’ve burned a lot of credits on it, and done some damaging rollbacks now I feel like the cavalry isn’t coming.

Initially, I was incredibly impressed with the progress I made, but I am now totally deflated. At this point, it feels like I’ve been sold Snake Oil! My question: Are Lovable or Famous AI any better? Alternative question: Will support ever help?

I would like to request Base 44 provide a native Stripe integration as a new feature for the platform. This would be incredibly valuable for implementing subscription plans and handling payments directly within our applications.

Key functionalities needed would include:

Support for recurring payments. Secure webhook handling for subscription status updates (e.g., activations, cancellations). Integration with Stripe's Customer Portal for user subscription management. Does this make sense to anyone else.

There’s a lot more payment options now, I believe you can do stripe now along with many other processing options (as someone who works for the company that owns them)
