Non-programmers who want a working app from a chat can start free, but 10 credits a month runs out fast and Pro jumps to $200.
Kenning's take
What it does
Emergent turns a written description into a working web or mobile app, with AI agents handling the code, design and deployment. Version 2.0 was billed as an agentic vibe-coding platform, and the company has since added a mobile app and an MCP connector for building from Claude or ChatGPT.
- Build web and mobile apps from a chat prompt
- Private project hosting and custom domains
- GitHub integration
- One-click LLM integration
- Custom AI agents on the Pro plan
Who it suits. Small business owners, product managers and non-programmers who want working software without hiring developers.
