Wasting my precious credit

I am developing a web app for my job as a Customer Representative, something relatively simple where I collect data from Discord via bot integration and extract insights like ticket duration, which agent handled the ticket, etc. In the beginning, everything was working very well; conversations with the AI were productive, it solved issues, and identified errors. However, over time, I started noticing that it began spending credits pointlessly, for example, asking me two or three times if it could do something I had already asked it to do. Something like this: User: Do X, Y, and Z. Base44: Okay, I will do X, Y, and Z, and to do this, I need to modify such-and-such file. User: Okay. Base44: All right, I will proceed and implement X, Y, and Z. Can I continue? Man, do you understand that when you are charged per interaction and the AI does this, it’s just stealing your credits? Another thing that has been bothering me A LOT is regarding solutions that don't solve anything. I bring up the problem, explain what is happening, and after a few minutes and credits spent, it says it's resolved, but it’s not. A simple check of the UI is enough to see that it’s exactly the same. Sometimes I have to insist 3 or 4 times before it finally finds the bug and fixes it. Along these same lines, it has been applying manual fixes; instead of solving the problem, it creates a workaround that only fixes that specific point, but the system is meant to be automatic, which means that in the next update sync, the error will persist for new cases. I’ve already asked it not to do this, to indicate what is happening so I can check. Sometimes the bot lost a permission and the AI doesn't have the data, I don't know, it’s there for that: to show me the error. But even when I explicitly ask it not to work with manual workarounds, in the very next message, it simply applies a manual workaround. It’s completely crazy. I am happy with the result the app is becoming, but I’m spending credits to correct what the AI should have noticed. It seems absurd to me for it to send "Done, I fixed it," and in the next message, after I say it’s not fixed, it says "You are correct, I am unable to do X, Y, and Z." Why didn't you tell me before that you couldn't do it? It feels like when the problems start getting complex, it just "fakes it" and pretends it’s solving it, but it isn’t. Taking into account that credits do not accumulate and they are expensive, the use of credits MUST be VERY precise. The AI has to perform every verification before saying that a problem is resolved.

Need better scalability options for high-volume production apps

We are building a production app on Base44 and overall we really like the platform, but we are starting to hit scalability limits that are becoming a real blocker. We understand and appreciate the reason for guardrails such as rate limits and bulk fetch caps. They protect app performance and prevent misuse. The issue is that for apps with real user growth, these limits can also become a bottleneck even after doing substantial optimization work. In our case, we already: consolidated multiple frontend requests into backend data fetchers added pagination in the main heavy screens reduced redundant reads and invalidations cached global counters/stats simplified several expensive screens and query flows made some counts approximate where exact values were too expensive Even after all of that, we still run into problems such as: 429 Rate limit exceeded during burst traffic lead/webhook ingestion affecting the rest of the app difficulty scaling admin/importer dashboards as usage grows architectural tradeoffs where we have to choose between correctness and staying within platform limits A few areas where more flexibility would help a lot: Higher rate limit tiers for production apps Especially for apps with real traffic, background processing, and webhook ingestion. Better support for webhook/high-ingestion workloads If one burst of incoming webhooks can trigger throttling for the whole app, that becomes a major risk. More scalable backend querying patterns The current bulk-fetch ceiling is understandable, but we would benefit from stronger server-side aggregation, counting, and pagination primitives so we do not have to choose between expensive scans and incomplete data. App-level scalability plans or add-ons It would be great to have a way to move a serious app into a higher-capacity plan with clearer operational guarantees. Better isolation between workloads For example, preventing one noisy flow like lead intake from degrading the rest of the app. We are not asking for unsafe defaults. We are asking for a path for serious apps to grow on Base44 without hitting hard ceilings too early. We would love to see: higher-capacity plans optional higher rate limits stronger server-side data tools better ingestion/webhook handling more explicit support for high-growth production apps Base44 is excellent for building quickly, and we would really like to keep growing on it. A clearer scalability path would make a huge difference.

SSR Request

Hi Base44 team, I'm running a business website on Base44 and have invested heavily in SEO — custom page titles, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, canonical URLs, and structured JSON-LD data — all configured per route. Because Base44 apps are client-side rendered, these tags are injected by JavaScript after page load. This means: Social sharing scrapers (Facebook, Instagram, iMessage, etc.) don't wait for JS and pull blank or default previews SEO crawlers may not consistently read dynamically-set tags across all routes I'd love to see Base44 support pre-rendering or server-side rendering (SSR) — where each route's HTML is served with the correct , , and Open Graph tags already present in the raw response. Even static pre-rendering (generating HTML snapshots per route at deploy time) would solve the majority of this. This would make Base44 significantly more viable for public-facing business websites that depend on discoverability. Happy to share my current SEO setup as a reference use case. Thanks

Feature Request

Apple In-App Purchase (StoreKit) Support for iOS I am building an app using Base44 and submitting it to the Apple App Store. The app includes paid digital features and subscriptions. Currently, Base44 does not support Apple’s StoreKit / In-App Purchase system, which is required by Apple’s App Store guidelines (3.1.1) for any digital goods or subscriptions offered within the app. Because of this limitation, I am unable to: - Offer subscriptions inside the iOS app - Display pricing or upgrade options in a compliant way - Monetize iOS users properly This forces me to remove all pricing and payment flows from the iOS version of the app, which significantly impacts the user experience and business model. Requested features: - Native support for Apple In-App Purchase (auto-renewable subscriptions) - Ability to configure Apple product IDs within Base44 - Purchase handling (subscribe, restore purchases) - Receipt validation and subscription status tracking - Platform-specific logic (iOS vs web) This feature is critical for any app that intends to monetize on iOS. Please provide an estimated timeline if possible.
