SayLive vs Base44
An app builder on message credits, or one payment to publish a site you already have.
TL;DR
Base44 builds apps from a prompt: a free plan with 25 message credits a month and up to 5 apps, then plans from $16 a month billed annually, with hosting and a connected domain included. It fits an app with logins and data. SayLive publishes a static site your own assistant wrote, for €99 once, with a form, versions and a review link.
Base44 generates and hosts applications, with hosting included and a domain you can connect on every paid plan. If your project needs user accounts or stored data, that is what it is built for.
For a site that presents a business, the generation part is something you may already pay for: Claude or ChatGPT write it well from a good brief. Paying a second tool by the month to generate it again is the double charge SayLive exists to avoid.
SayLive puts your assistant's static files online from the conversation, with the form, versions, review link and your domain included in one payment.

Questions
Is SayLive an alternative to Base44 for a landing page?
Yes, if your assistant already wrote the page: SayLive publishes it for €99 once, with a contact form and your domain included. If the page is the front of an app with accounts, Base44 is the better fit.
Do I pay for AI twice with Base44?
If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, partly yes: Base44 sells its own generation through message credits. SayLive uses the assistant you already have and only charges for publishing.
Can I keep my files with SayLive?
Yes. Any published version can be downloaded as a ZIP and hosted anywhere. The docs explain versions and rollback.
Free for 30 days. Two minutes, no credit card.
