Emergent
Build and deploy full-stack web and mobile apps through chat
About Emergent
## Intro Emergent is an AI app builder where you describe what you want and AI agents design, code and deploy it. It aims at production-ready, full-stack apps rather than simple mockups, and it can build both web and mobile apps from the same project. It competes with Lovable, Bolt and Replit for founders who want to go from idea to working product without hiring developers. Like the rest of the category, it runs on credits, so how far your plan goes depends on how much you iterate. ## Key features - **Agent-built full-stack apps.** Describe your idea in plain language and Emergent's agents handle the design, front end, back end and deployment, so you are not stitching tools together yourself. - **Web and mobile output.** Build websites, web apps, mobile apps, dashboards, CRMs, internal tools and SaaS products from the same workspace. Mobile support is a real differentiator in a category that leans heavily toward web. - **GitHub integration.** On paid plans you can connect GitHub, so you are not locked into the platform if you later want a developer to take over the code. Paid plans let you fork tasks to try a different direction without losing your current version, and host projects privately rather than in public. - **AI features and team plans.** One-click LLM integration lets you add AI features to the apps you build. The Pro plan adds custom AI agents, a 1M context window, Ultra thinking and editable system prompts. Business adds role-based access, single sign-on, shared team workspaces and real-time co-editing, so a small team can build together. ## Best for Emergent is best for non-technical founders validating a SaaS idea, operators building internal tools and agencies prototyping client apps quickly. It is especially useful if you need a mobile app as well as a web app. Experienced developers may prefer a coding tool like Cursor where they control every line, and teams needing strict compliance should look at the custom Enterprise plan. Agencies may find the Business plan's shared workspaces useful for handing projects between team members. Solo founders on a budget should start with the Standard plan. ## Pricing summary The free plan includes 10 credits per month. Standard is $20 per month ($17 billed annually) for 100 credits and adds private hosting and GitHub. Pro is $200 per month ($167 billed annually) for 750 credits. Business and Enterprise plans are custom priced. Extra credits can be bought on paid plans if you run out mid-month. ## Quick verdict Emergent is a capable option in the crowded AI app builder space, with a real focus on full-stack and mobile output. As with every credit-based builder, costs depend on how many iterations your app needs, so test it on the free plan with a small project before committing. Keep an eye on credit usage during long build sessions.
