Move your Base44, Lovable, or Bolt app into code you own.
The builder got you a working demo. We rebuild it as a real Laravel app in your GitHub, with your data, your payments, and tests. Fixed price after a 48-hour findings report. You own the repo and every account.
Free 30-minute call. Written findings in 48 hours that you keep. Fixed price for the rebuild.
How it starts
Call → 48h findings you keep → fixed-price rebuild
- 1. Free 30-minute call. Show us the app, who uses it, and how money moves through it.
- 2. 48-hour findings you keep. Every screen, entity, integration, and payment flow in the builder, mapped to the app we would build. What moves as data, what gets rebuilt, what to drop.
- 3. Fixed-price rebuild. The findings are the scope. One fixed price for the rebuild. A retainer from $2,500/month only if you want us to run it after launch.
Why teams leave the builder
You rent the runtime
The app lives on someone else's platform and plan. If the plan or the platform changes, so does your product.
Rules you cannot test
Who can see what, what a refund does, what happens when a payment fails. In a builder those live in settings and prompts, not in code with tests.
Every change is a prompt
Nobody reviews a diff. A fix in one screen breaks another, and there is no history to roll back to.
Investors and buyers ask
The first technical question in diligence is where the code is. "In the builder" is a hard answer.
What you get
- A Laravel app in your GitHub, deployed to hosting in your name (Laravel Cloud, AWS, or Hetzner).
- Your data and content exported once and shipped with the repo. No runtime dependency on the builder.
- Accounts with email verification and password reset, roles, and an admin panel for the people who run it.
- Stripe Checkout with signature-verified webhooks. A manual payment mode until live keys are in.
- Automated tests, including browser tests that walk the real purchase or signup flow.
- A README and runbook so the next developer, ours or yours, does not start from zero.
Proof (client names withheld)
Four builder apps we rebuilt
Maker marketplace
Started as a Base44 React app. Now Laravel: buyer, maker, and admin areas, seller applications with a review pipeline, Stripe Checkout with signed webhooks, a published fee schedule, and a public fee ledger. 171 automated tests.
Art-walk event site
Started on Base44. Now Laravel on PostgreSQL. Event data and artwork were exported once and ship with the repo, so nothing calls the builder at runtime. Ops console for pairing artists with venues, CSV exports, and private photo submissions served by signed URL.
Athlete site with a merch store
Started on Base44. Now Laravel with Stripe Checkout and Stripe Tax. Webhooks are signature-checked, unpaid checkouts expire after six hours and restock themselves, and refunds run from the admin. Browser tests buy a product through Stripe Checkout with a test card.
Multi-tenant delivery marketplace
A Base44 demo with no users, being rebuilt as a production marketplace. Every business query is scoped to a tenant, and CI runs tenant-isolation tests where every cross-tenant read must fail. Cards are authorized before a match and captured or voided after.
Questions
Can you move a Base44 app to code I own?
Yes. We export the data and content once, rebuild the screens and rules as a Laravel app in your GitHub, and deploy it to hosting in your name. Nothing calls the builder at runtime after cutover. Three of the four rebuilds on this page started on Base44.
Lovable and Bolt already give me code. Why rebuild?
Sometimes you should not. If the exported code is sound, hardening it is cheaper than a rebuild, and the 48-hour findings will say so. If it has no tests, no real authorization, and payments that only work on the happy path, a rebuild usually costs less than patching.
Why Laravel?
All four rebuilds on this page are Laravel. Auth, queues, mail, admin, and payments are mature and boring, and the next developer can read it. If your team already runs Node, Go, or .NET, say so on the call and the findings will price that instead.
What does a rebuild cost?
A fixed price, set from the 48-hour findings. We do not quote before we have seen the app, the data, and the payment flow. After launch, a retainer from $2,500/month is optional, not required.
Do I keep my design and my users?
Yes. We rebuild the screens you have first, then you decide what changes. User accounts and content move with the data export. You keep the repo, the hosting account, the Stripe account, and the domain.
