Migrate From Base44: A Step-by-Step 2026 Guide

Migrating from Base44 requires more than exporting code because exports may include frontend files, entity schemas, backend function definitions, and authentication configuration, while records, passwords, secrets, hosted backend infrastructure, and bulk file exports generally remain behind and must be separately recreated or transferred. The guide outlines a seven-step manual migration, typically to Supabase, beginning with inventorying Base44 SDK usage, exporting code through ZIP or GitHub, rebuilding database schemas and authentication, replacing SDK calls, migrating users, records, and files, testing in staging, and completing a DNS-based cutover with a rollback period. It emphasizes preserving original record IDs, requiring password resets for email-and-password users because password hashes are not documented as exportable, recreating secrets from their original sources, and updating webhooks or other integrations that point to Base44 function URLs. Migration complexity can range from several days for small applications without backend functions to one or two weeks for apps involving authentication, uploads, and custom functions, while alternatives include agency-led migrations, GitHub-based Replit imports, and Superblocks imports. Superblocks is presented as an option for organizations that need governance features such as role-based access, audit logs, source control, and deployment within a private cloud environment, though imported applications still require data migration and review for unsupported Base44 SDK references.
