Back4app is an AI-powered platform that builds complete applications. Unlike other AI builders, your app runs on production-grade infrastructure — real databases, authentication, APIs, cloud functions, and hosting — not generated code. Describe what you want and the AI Agent builds it end-to-end.

How is Back4app different from other AI app builders?

Other AI builders generate all the code, including the backend. Back4app's AI builds your app on top of battle-tested infrastructure that already powers thousands of apps. Your database, auth system, and APIs are real services that scale automatically — not scaffolding you need to maintain.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Describe your app in plain language and the AI Agent builds it. If you're a developer, you can also code directly using our SDKs, REST/GraphQL APIs, or use MCP from your favorite IDE like Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf.

What types of applications can I build?

You can build any type of application — SaaS dashboards, booking systems, marketplaces, CRMs, mobile app backends, internal tools, and more. The AI Agent handles the full stack: frontend, backend logic, database, authentication, and deployment.

How do I get started with Back4app?

Getting started is simple: Sign up for a free account, describe the app you want to build, and the AI Agent sets everything up automatically. No credit card required.

Is Back4app free to use?

Yes, Back4app offers a generous free tier that includes 25,000 API requests per month, 1GB database storage, and 1GB file storage. This is perfect for development, prototyping, and small production apps. Paid plans start at $25/month for more resources.

What technologies does Back4app use?

Back4app is built on Parse Server, an open-source backend framework, with MongoDB as the database. It supports GraphQL and REST APIs, real-time queries via WebSockets, and serverless Cloud Functions written in JavaScript/Node.js.

Can I migrate away from Back4app?

Yes, Back4app is built on open-source Parse Server, so you can export your data and self-host anytime. There's no vendor lock-in. Your data is always portable and you maintain full ownership.

Does Back4app support enterprise requirements?

Yes, Back4app offers enterprise plans with SOC 2 compliance, HIPAA compliance, dedicated infrastructure, custom security configurations, SLAs, and priority support. Many Fortune 500 companies use Back4app for production applications.
