Base44 vs Firebase Studio
Read from each vendor’s own pages last night, so it does not go stale the way a written comparison does.
Before you read on · Acquired since 18 June 2025
Base44 was acquired by Wix and is no longer independent.
Acquired by Wix in 2025. Unlike most acquisitions in this category it kept growing after the deal, so "acquired" here does not mean "avoid".
Before you read on · Sunset since 2 August 2026
Firebase Studio has had an access tier withdrawn; check what is still available before choosing it.
firebase.studio carries a banner: "We're sunsetting Firebase Studio on March 22, 2027 so you can no longer create new workspaces. Move your code to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity." Still usable until then, but it is not a tool to start a project on.
App builder
