Arovas vs Base44
Two kinds of credits, or the AI you already have
Base44 charges one kind of credit for talking to its AI and another for what your app does. With Arovas you build in Claude and Arovas puts the app online, with its data, sign-in and notices.

Questions
- Is Arovas cheaper than Base44?
- If you already pay for Claude, Arovas Pro costs $9 a month and building doesn't use credits. Base44 Starter costs $20 a month for 100 messages. If you don't pay for any AI today, add that cost before comparing.
- Can I move my Base44 app to Arovas?
- Yes. You describe your app to Claude, or give it the code if you have it, and ask it to rebuild it with Arovas. The data doesn't move by itself yet.
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. You describe what you want, try the preview and ask for changes in your own words.
