JustBuildt vs Base44: why local businesses choose JustBuildt
Winner for local businesses: JustBuildt. Base44, owned by Wix, is an AI app builder: you prompt it to build software and pay in credits. A local business doesn't need custom software to get found. It needs a fast site with a page for every service and town, which JustBuildt builds from your Google listing for a flat $24.99 a month.

Round 1: Right tool for the job
Base44 generates full apps with logins, databases and workflows, and Wix acquired it in June 2025. It's a capable product for building software. A plumber's website isn't software; it's a set of pages that match what customers search. JustBuildt builds exactly those.
Winner: JustBuildt.
Round 2: Cost you can predict
Base44 has a free tier and paid plans of $20, $50, $100 and $200 per month (about $16 to $160 billed annually), metered by two kinds of credits: message credits for building and integration credits for backend calls. JustBuildt is $24.99/month flat.
Winner: JustBuildt.
Round 3: Local SEO
Getting into Google's local results takes service pages, town pages, consistent business details and local schema. JustBuildt includes all of that automatically. With Base44, you'd have to know to ask for each piece.
Winner: JustBuildt.
