Mythex vs Base44
Base44 optimises for making no decisions. Mythex optimises for starting easy and still owning what you built.
The short answer
Choose Base44 if you want zero choices about stack, database or hosting. Choose Mythex if you want that easy start but also the code, the terminal and an exit.
Pick Mythex when
- You want the option to export and continue elsewhere
- You want to see and edit the code when it matters
- You want a flexible stack rather than one fixed backend
- You want to build from Claude, Codex or Cursor as well as the browser
Pick Base44 when
- You want the fewest possible decisions
- You do not plan to export or bring in a developer
- Their managed backend is exactly what you need

Questions
Which is easier to start with?
Both start the same way: describe the app. The difference shows up later, when you want to see the code, change the stack or take the project elsewhere.
