Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.
When to choose Emergent
- First-time builders who want a working web or mobile app from a written idea without hiring an agency or writing code.
- Builders who want to try before paying: the free plan includes 10 free monthly credits and all core platform features.
- Serious creators who need larger context and custom agents: Pro adds a 1M context window, ultra thinking, system prompt editing and custom AI agents.
When to choose something else
- Builders who need more than 10 free credits a month without paying: the free allowance is 10 credits a month, and extra credits are bought as needed on paid plans.
- Teams that need role-based access control, single sign-on or shared team workspaces while staying on Free, Standard or Pro: those are Business features, not part of Free, Standard or Pro.
- Organizations that need audit logs, VPC deployment or user-level credit limits without moving to Enterprise: those are Enterprise features.
A practical starting workflow
- Describe the idea in simple words on the Emergent homepage or app; Emergent turns it into screens, flows and core features.
- Refine the result: adjust visuals, fine-tune features and shape the app as screens and layouts appear.
- Launch the live, hosted app, then keep iterating in conversation with the AI agents that design, code and deploy it.
- Start on the free plan (10 free monthly credits); move to Standard for private hosting, GitHub integration and 100 credits a month, or Pro for 750 credits a month and custom agents.
Check before committing
- The directory website is app.emergent.sh (the app) while the marketing site is emergent.sh; both were read and agree on the product, and pricing is taken from emergent.sh/pricing.
- Monthly prices are $20 Standard / $200 Pro; annual billing lowers them to $17 / $167 per month (saving $36 / $396 a year), which implies $204 / $2,004 a year.
- This page is based on public website text only (text fetch); the product was not run and no account was created.
