Our take on Emergent

Emergent: Agentic builder for full-stack web and mobile apps from a prompt. Best for non-coders who want a working web or mobile app with a backend. Watch out for: free plan is only 10 credits a month; private hosting and GitHub sync need Standard. Price: $17/mo billed annually (Standard, 100 credits); $20/mo monthly (free tier, checked Oct 2026).

Note: Free plan is ongoing but 10 credits a month is too little for a real app, so it counts as requiring paid for $0 stacks. Pro is $200/mo ($167 annual) with 750 credits and a 1M context window.
