Base44 vs Hostinger Horizons

Short answer: choose Base44 for internal tools and simple apps with users and data, built entirely from chat. Choose Hostinger Horizons for hostinger customers building small interactive web apps with logins and records. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

Best for: Landing pages, SaaS marketing sites, portfolios and startup websites that need to look professionally designed, not AI-generated.

When to choose Base44

Base44 and Hostinger Horizons, reviewed honestly

Base44

Base44 · Israel, founded 2024, owned by Wix

Free plan
25 message credits and 100 integration credits a month, for up to 5 apps.
Paid plans
Starter is $20/mo billed monthly ($16/mo yearly) for 100 message credits, unlimited apps, code edits and a custom domain.

Known for

  • Every app comes with a database, user accounts and analytics, with no setup.
  • Integration credits: a separate allowance for AI calls, email and uploads inside the app.
  • GitHub sync and model choice from the Builder plan up.

What it does well

  • Non-developers can ship a working internal tool without wiring up a database.
  • A custom domain comes with the cheapest paid plan.
  • Owned by Wix since June 2025, so a large company stands behind it.

Where it falls short

  • Users report debugging loops where the AI spends credits fixing its own mistakes.
  • Credits do not roll over, and per-action integration costs are not clearly published.
  • The back end stays on Base44, so leaving with the whole app is hard.

Hostinger Horizons

Hostinger · Kaunas, founded 2004

Free plan
No free plan; you can try it without a card, with 5 AI credits for conversational building.
Paid plans
Premium is $2.99/mo on a 48-month prepaid plan, renewing at $10.99/mo, with up to 3 sites and 250 one-time AI credits.

Known for

  • Since August 2026, part of Hostinger's AI Builder, alongside its website builder.
  • Built-in back end for sign-in, data, ecommerce and email marketing.
  • Starts from a prompt, a screenshot, a PDF, an image or a link to an existing site.

What it does well

  • Hosting, a first-year domain and mailboxes are included in the price.
  • AI changes are staged and go live only when you publish.
  • It can build web apps with logins and data, not only pages.

Where it falls short

  • The low price needs four years paid upfront, and renewal more than triples it.
  • Reviewers report credits running out after a few prompts, including on the AI's own fixes.
  • Credits are a one-time allowance per plan, not monthly.

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  3. 03

    Dream Mode builds an animated, custom bento grid with real hierarchy and an embedded product video in one click.
