02 /METHOD

How a fix works, step by step.

Four steps, every time, regardless of the bug. Diagnose. Reproduce. Repair. Verify. The discipline is what makes the work shippable — and refundable when it is not.

02.1/STEP

01

Diagnose

Read the stack trace, the network log, and the credit-burn graph. Walk every layer. We do not guess. We do not Vibe-fix. We isolate the failure to a specific line, function, or schema mismatch before any code is written.

02.2/STEP

02

Reproduce

Reproduce the failure deterministically — same input, same broken output, every time. If we cannot reproduce it, we cannot prove we fixed it. This step is the gate; nothing ships without a written 100% reproduction recipe.

02.3/STEP

03

Repair

Smallest possible change at the correct layer. No drive-by refactors, no AI rewrites of files we did not touch. The patch is reviewed against the reproduction recipe and shipped behind a feature flag where the platform allows.

02.4/STEP

04

Verify

Tests pass. The original failure cannot be reproduced. Credit-burn delta is recorded. The fix is documented in a written summary that names the root cause, the change, and the verification steps. Then — and only then — we close the ticket.

Not sure whether to fix or leave? Our independent base44 review covers where the platform shines and where it breaks in production, the decision framework for leaving base44 scores the move, and the base44 cost calculator estimates what running your app there really costs.

04 /GUARANTEES

What we guarantee, in writing.

Fixed price, and a refund if we don't fix it. Each engagement type carries its own written term, stated before any work starts.

RISK REVERSAL · REV. 2026-09-23

Five terms, one per engagement type.

Fix sprint · $1,500
Money-back if the sprint cannot resolve the issue, including a Base44 platform bug with no workaround. If a Base44 update breaks the fix within 90 days, we re-fix it at no charge.
Multi-bug rescue · $3,000
Any agreed defect we cannot resolve is refunded pro rata. Every fix carries the 90-day fix hold.
Audit · $497
The $497 fee is credited in full against any fix, build, migration or written-recommendation engagement booked within 30 days. If you ordered the audit for a specific bug and we cannot reproduce it, we refund the fee; otherwise it is non-refundable.
Builds · from $4,500
A 30-day defects warranty is included on every build. Within that window we fix any defect against the written spec at no charge.
Migrations · from $6,000
Zero data loss. Your base44 app stays live until cutover, with a 14-day rollback window after it and the same 30-day defects warranty.

07 /EVIDENCE

What we actually do.

An illustrative specimen of a pattern we see in fix sprints: the agent hallucinates a field reference on the user payload. The diff is one line; the work is the diagnosis.

BEFORE/broken

01// agent.regression — illustrative example
02export async function dispatch(req) {
03  const route = sdk.router.match(req.path);
04  if (!route) return notFound();
05  const handler = route.handler;
06  // hallucinated field — does not exist on payload
07  const userId = req.payload.user.uuid;
08  return handler({ userId, req });
09}
line 07 — hallucinated field reference

AFTER/patched

01// agent.regression — illustrative example · patched
02export async function dispatch(req) {
03  const route = sdk.router.match(req.path);
04  if (!route) return notFound();
05  const handler = route.handler;
06  // restored canonical id field per schema
07  const userId = req.payload.user.id;
08  return handler({ userId, req });

09 /FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q.01What is Base44Devs?
A.01

Base44Devs is an independent base44 development agency: senior engineers who fix broken base44 apps, build production apps on base44, and migrate apps off it. The team has shipped or debugged 100+ base44 apps in production. We publish 47 fix playbooks and our own base44 platform research, and every engagement ends with a written summary.

Q.02Is Base44Devs affiliated with Base44 or Wix?
A.02

No. Base44Devs is an independent services firm focused exclusively on base44 — not affiliated with Base44 or Wix. We are not a Base44 partner, and nothing on this site is endorsed by base44.com or Wix.

Q.03How much does it cost to pay someone to fix or build a Base44 app?
A.03

Our prices are fixed and published: a $497 production audit, a $1,500 bug-fix sprint for one high-impact issue, a $3,000 multi-bug rescue for 3–8 related defects, builds at $4,500 (MVP), $9,000 (standard) and $15,000 (premium), and migrations off Base44 from $6,000. For market context, Upwork's featured Base44 cards post $5–$16/h (23 Sep 2026), and Base44's own blog puts a freelancer project at $5,000–$50,000+ and an agency project at $50,000–$500,000+ (12 Aug 2026). Hourly bands, sourced and dated, are in our Base44 rate comparison.

Q.04What are the disadvantages of Base44, and when should you leave it?
A.04

The failure modes we see in production — AI-agent regression loops, credit burn on small edits, integrations that break after platform updates — each have a playbook in the fix index. Whether they justify leaving is a cost decision, and a written stay-or-migrate recommendation settles it for $1,500.

Q.05How fast can you start?
A.05

Free 15-minute call with the engineer who would lead the work. Written fixed-price proposal within one business day. Audits are delivered one business day after access (two for apps with 15+ tables or multiple integrations). Fix sprints start within 48 hours of payment and access and ship 48–72 hours after kickoff. Production-down work: Acknowledged inside two business hours (9am-6pm Eastern, Mon-Fri). Same prices as scheduled work — no urgent surcharge. Three urgent slots held every week.

Q.06Do you work fixed-price or hourly?
A.06

Fixed-price by default; hourly only for due-diligence/legal advisory at $300/h (4-hour minimum). Every productized service has a published price, and custom scope is quoted in writing after the free 15-minute call. Retainers — a $2,000/month care plan or an embedded senior engineer at $4,000–$8,000/month — are offered only after a first fixed-price engagement.

Q.07What if you cannot fix my issue?
A.07

Money-back if the sprint cannot resolve the issue, including a Base44 platform bug with no workaround. If a Base44 update breaks the fix within 90 days, we re-fix it at no charge. On a multi-bug rescue: Any agreed defect we cannot resolve is refunded pro rata. Every fix carries the 90-day fix hold. Either way you get a written report explaining what we found.
