Base44 Student Discount: 50% Off Starter and Builder
Base44 gives verified students 50% off its Starter or Builder plan for up to 12 months: Starter drops from $16 to $8 a month and Builder from $40 to $20 a month on annual billing. The free tier stays free either way (25 message credits a month), but the student rate is what makes Base44 cheap enough to build real class projects, portfolios, and startup MVPs on. The rule that matters most: verify and activate the discount before you buy, because it only applies going forward and never to payments you already made.

What this offer actually gives you
Base44 is an AI app builder: you describe the app in plain language and it builds the frontend, backend, database, authentication, and hosting in one place, with no code required. The free tier gives you 25 message credits a month (up to 5 a day) and 100 integration credits, with up to 5 apps — enough to test the workflow, but tight for a real project, since each prompt uses roughly one credit.
The student discount halves the two plans students are most likely to buy. Starter ($16 a month billed annually, 100 message credits a month) becomes $8 a month; Builder ($40 a month billed annually, 250 message credits a month, plus in-app code edits, AI model selection, GitHub sync, and a custom domain) becomes $20 a month. Either way the discount runs for up to 12 months, and both plans keep the batteries-included setup: frontend, backend, database, and auth in one account, with built-in hosting on a base44.app address or your own domain.
The terms are strict in three places, all stated on Base44's own students page. First, the discount is for first-time purchases only: if you have ever had a premium plan, it does not apply. Second, you must verify and activate it before you buy, because the discounted rate only applies going forward and payments already made cannot be refunded at the discounted rate. Third, once you cancel within the 12-month window, the discount cannot be re-activated — so do not start the clock until you have a project ready to build.
For students, the honest comparison is with the other student app-builder deals: Lovable gives verified students 50% off Pro ($25 down to $12.50 a month for up to 12 months), Replit takes $15 off Core a month for the first 6 months ($20 down to $5), and Bolt.new has no student discount at all — just a free daily token allowance. Base44's edge is the all-in-one backend: if your project needs logins, a database, and hosting without stitching services together, the Builder student rate of $20 a month is the cheapest route to that full stack.

Pro tip
Do not burn the 12 months on setup: build a throwaway app on the free tier first, learn how far 25 credits go, and only verify and pay once you have a real project. And since cancelling kills the discount for good, keep the plan running through the semester you actually build in.
