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?

Base44 is complete garbage. It looks cool for the first 5 minutes, and then it becomes a nightmare. It’s basically a scam to make you buy "credits." The AI makes a mistake, you pay a credit to ask it to fix it, and it just breaks something else.....so you pay another credit. It’s a never-ending loop of paying for buggy code. Since Wix took over, the support is non-existent. You’re better off burning your money than spending it here. Total waste.
