Cedros
Use publishing, customer records, communication, and supported account and commerce extensions. Add your own interface and behavior within Cedros’s runtime.
Base44
Choose Base44 when its prompt-based builder, managed backend, and app or agent workflows fit the product you want to create.
| Capability | Cedros | Base44 |
|---|---|---|
| What you start with | A website platform with publishing and customer tools ready to configure and extend. | An application generated from prompts, with managed backend services. |
| Interface development | Visual Page Builder or custom React pages within Cedros’s runtime. | Generate and refine application screens and behavior through the app builder. |
| Backend and data | Built-in services, custom data collections, and WebAssembly extensions with declared access. | Managed database, authentication, storage, and backend functions for the generated application. |
| Accounts and payments | Install Login and Pay, then configure providers and the required account/payment flows. | Built-in authentication and supported payment integrations; configure and test the application flows. |
| Content and customer work | Ready-made page/blog/docs editors, customer profiles, forms, campaigns, bookings, and support. | Build the content-management and customer workflows the app needs, or connect existing services. |
| AI after launch | Built-in assistant and scoped MCP tools can operate supported content and business workflows. | In-app AI agents and agent workflows can use configured app data and connected tools. |
A software product also needs an explanation, documentation, sign-in, billing, and customer communication. Cedros puts those surfaces within one platform. Your custom application can focus on the part that makes the product useful instead of recreating every surrounding workflow.
Cedros supports custom React interfaces and WebAssembly extensions with server routes, jobs, and declared data access. It is not a host for an arbitrary codebase without adaptation. Map routing, imports, data access, and provider dependencies to the supported runtime, then test the real customer journey.
Prototype the workflow that matters in each platform. Check permissions, account recovery, payment behavior, data access, and operating costs. Managed services reduce infrastructure work, but application-specific security and acceptance testing still matter.
Keep business knowledge, saved instructions, tasks, and scheduled assistant work beside your application. Add custom data, interfaces, and background jobs through Cedros extensions, with permissions for the work they perform. Install and configure Login, Pay, and Shop when you need customer accounts, payments, or a storefront.
For Cedros, include the website plan, traffic and storage capacity, AI usage, email volume, required extensions, and any charges from your own providers. For Base44, include building/AI allowances, backend and hosting usage, integrations, and any separate business tools the app still needs.
Yes, through custom pages, data collections, and extensions alongside website, account, and commerce capabilities. The implementation must fit the supported runtime and your product’s requirements.
Plan the migration for your content, settings, data, and custom code separately. Each has different export and adaptation requirements, so review what you need to take with you before building.
No. Compare plan capacity, AI usage, email, storage, and provider charges against your expected workload.
