Base44 wraps a website. Borel builds a native iPhone app.

Base44's mobile app runs your published Base44 web app inside a web view, a wrapper that opens your app's address. Borel writes the app in Swift and SwiftUI and builds it with Xcode, so screens, gestures and navigation are native.

On Borel, App Store publishing is part of Pro, $16 a month billed yearly, or $20 a month. Base44 needs its Builder plan, $40 a month billed yearly, for the files you submit. Apple's paid Developer Program is needed with either.

Yes. Borel shows your app in the iOS Simulator in your browser, free for everyone, and Borel Companion installs it on your own iPhone with a free Apple ID, from Windows or a Mac.

Yes. AI, data, sign-in and storage are built into every Borel app, with no keys to paste or services to set up. Describe a feature, such as accounts or saved notes, and Borel wires it into your SwiftUI app.

No. Borel runs Xcode on its own Mac and streams the iOS Simulator to your browser, so you can build, test and publish a native iPhone app from a Windows PC or a Mac. Borel Companion, for Windows and Mac, puts the app on your iPhone.

Yes. Borel's free plan gives 5 credits every day, up to 30 a month, and the iOS Simulator is free for everyone. Describe an app, watch Borel write it in Swift and run it in the simulator before you pay. Pro starts at $20 a month.

You do. Borel writes standard Swift and SwiftUI, and you can download the project on any plan and open it in Xcode, so your app keeps working with or without Borel.
