Base44 Client App Handoff and Credit Reconciliation (Delivery)

Base44 Client App Handoff and Credit Reconciliation (Delivery)

1. 01

   Confirm the client's Base44 workspace sits on the correct plan tier before handoff

   Match the build to the published tiers: Starter $16/mo, Builder $40/mo, Pro $80/mo, Elite $160/mo, or Enterprise at custom pricing. Pro carries 500 message credits/mo and 20,000 integration credits/mo; Elite carries 1,200 message credits/mo and 50,000 integration credits/mo. If the delivered app runs calendar or CRM syncs, size the integration credit allowance against expected call volume, not seat count.

2. 02

   Audit credit consumption in the workspace before the client takes ownership

   Pull the message and integration credit usage for the build period and compare it to the tier allowance. Any overage during delivery is an agency cost, so record it against the project margin line before the retainer starts.

3. 03

   Verify every integration the app depends on is connected under the client's own accounts

   Walk the integration settings for Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and Salesforce. Reconnect each one to the client's credentials rather than the agency's, because an app that authenticates through agency accounts breaks the day the engagement ends.

4. 04

   Transfer domain and authentication ownership

   Point the custom domain at the client's DNS and confirm the authentication configuration (user roles and database schema) is documented in the handoff pack. Base44 hosts the app on production infrastructure, so the client needs the domain record and login recovery path, not server access.

5. 05

   Run a final publish and smoke test on the client-facing domain

   Exercise the primary workflow end to end: form submission, payment processing if enabled, and one integration round trip. Capture screenshots of each passing step as delivery evidence for the client file.

6. 06

   Deliver the handoff guide and train the client's named operator

   Cover how to iterate by chatting with the AI, where in-app code edits live, and which plan tier changes require agency involvement. Note in the guide that Base44 publishes no white-label program or multi-tenant client reporting dashboard, so the client will see Base44 branding and must be told this before launch.

7. 07

   Log the retainer support boundary in writing

   State what the monthly fee covers (credit monitoring, integration reconnection, iteration requests) and what triggers a new statement of work. Agencies that skip this step absorb unlimited natural language iteration requests against a fixed retainer.
