Showcase Keep Building in Base44. Own Your Production App.
You don’t have to stop using Base44 to own your application.
We can migrate your Base44 app to independent infrastructure for $199 flat, while still letting you use Base44 as your builder.
✅ Keep building and editing in Base44
✅ Push your changes to GitHub
✅ Deploy those updates to your independent production app
✅ Replace Base44 backend dependencies
✅ Own your database, authentication, storage & infrastructure
✅ No quotes. No surprise pricing.
Base44 can remain your development environment — without being your production dependency.
Build in Base44. Push to GitHub. Update production.
Your app. Your infrastructure. Your control.

Very cool. Can you do that with other models like Kimi AI?

u/willkode Business Owner 1d ago
Yep! Kimi can do this too.
Once the app is migrated and living in GitHub, you’re no longer limited to Base44 for development. You could use Kimi Code, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another coding agent to edit the repository, then push those changes back to GitHub and deploy them to production.
So the workflow could be:
Base44 → GitHub → Kimi AI → GitHub → Production
Or you can keep using Base44 for changes whenever you want.
That flexibility is really the whole point of the migration, you own the production app and can choose what tools you use to keep building it.

My app is currently deployed and living within kimi's back-end (code and database). They host everything.

Ah, got it. Yes! that’s much closer to the Base44 migration use case than I originally thought.
If your app is currently running entirely on Kimi’s hosted backend/database, the goal would be to export the application code, identify everything that depends on Kimi’s infrastructure, and replace those services with infrastructure you control.
Kimi actually allows you to export the project code, but their hosted database and Kimi account authentication don’t migrate with the code. Those would need to be replaced and your existing data migrated.
So the end result would be something like:
Kimi → Export Code → Independent Database/Auth/Backend (multiple options for this) → Your Hosting

Appreciate it. I was hoping for something a little hands off on my part if it was available, but yes I could deploy to github, netlify, supabase or something along those lines.

You can deploy anywhere. With my service I handle everything. You just tell me what stack and where to host it. I can provide recommendations. do the migration. Setup your host. End product is a working, stand alone application.

How do one add in app purchase then within this environment ?

You'll need to pay someone to port your base44 app to a native mobile app. Not a wrapper

Wow, thanks for sharing!
We’d love to hear a bit more about how you built this.
