Base44 spins up standalone apps from a prompt. Jet builds them on your existing data, with governance.
Base44 is an AI app builder that generates full-stack apps — frontend, backend and database — from a prompt. Jet Admin starts the same way, but builds on the data you already have with role-based access, SSO and audit logs, so the output is a governed internal tool rather than a standalone app you still have to secure and connect.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Base44 and Jet Admin?
Base44 is an AI app builder that generates full-stack apps — frontend, backend and database — from a prompt. Jet Admin starts the same way, but builds on the data you already have with role-based access, SSO and audit logs, so the output is a governed internal tool rather than a standalone app you still have to secure and connect.
Is Jet Admin a good alternative to Base44?
Yes — if you want a governed internal tool on your existing data rather than a brand-new standalone app with its own database. Jet generates the tool on the systems you already run.
What does Jet Admin offer that Base44 doesn't?
Tools built on your existing database with two-way write-back, plus role-based access, SSO/SAML and audit logs built into every app — the internal-tool governance a general app builder leaves to you.
When is Base44 the better choice?
Founders and makers who want to generate a brand-new standalone app from a prompt and aren't tied to an existing database or internal-tool governance.
Can I migrate from Base44 to Jet Admin?
Yes. Instead of rebuilding, point Jet Admin at your existing database or APIs and generate the tool on top — no data migration, because Jet runs on your data where it lives.
How is Jet Admin priced compared to Base44?
Jet Admin is free to start and prices per app and usage, with no per-seat editor fees, so your whole team can build and use tools.
Does Jet Admin work with my existing data sources?
Yes — Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, Google Sheets, Airtable, REST APIs and 45+ more, with two-way sync and no data copies.
