The median turn latency is 94.1 seconds per prompt, not per whole build, which derives to 14.1 min across the full nine prompt specification. That is a tenth percentile of 58.8 seconds and a ninetieth percentile of 161.4 seconds across 45 recorded executions.

How reliable is Base44?

84.4% of recorded executions met the published pass criterion with no operator intervention. 7 were partial and 0 failed outright. Every one of those rows is published on this page.

Can I export the code from Base44?

Partial, runtime dependency remains. The code ownership subscore is 55.0 out of 100.

Full-stack app builders / rank 7 of 20 / cycle 04

Base44 benchmark

Strong at the parts of the specification that map onto its built in primitives: entities, roles and the admin surface came out quickly and cleanly. The cost is portability. Exported code still depends on the platform runtime, so it scores lowest in the top half on code ownership.

Delta not shown for cycle 04: the roster was re-based from one merged ranking into two class boards, so cycle 03 and cycle 04 ranks are not on the same scale. Resumes cycle 05.

Seeded at launch

The reader scores, lab notes and open ratings published here were written by this lab in August 2026 to populate the reader column before the site had readers. They are not customer submissions, they are not vendor supplied and nobody was paid for them. Anything submitted since then comes from a registered account. The lab index is measured from logged runs and is unaffected either way.

What agent performance looked like in practice

Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 38 times, partially 7 times and failed 0 times. The rows above carry the reviewer note for every non clean outcome, which is the only way to tell a product that fails loudly from one that fails quietly.
