Our pricing check · re-verified 2026-08-31 on emergent.sh/pricingFree $0 (10 credits/mo); Standard $20/mo, or $17/mo billed annually, for 100 credits (the page states a $36 annual saving, 15%); Pro $200/mo, or $167/mo billed annually, for 750 credits (a $396 saving, 16.5%).
What will cost you money if you skim itThe real cost is credit consumption, not the flat sticker -- a genuinely complex app burns 10-20+ credits per big change, so serious builders move up tiers faster than the price list implies.

Genuinely good for

founders, PMs and builders who want to turn a prompt into a working full-stack web app or MVP fast, without writing the code themselves

Skip it if

you need a hardened, security-audited production system with no human review, or your usage would burn through credits faster than the value returns

The honest comparisonLovable, Bolt or Replit Agent — close AI app-builder rivals — compare credit economics and output quality on the kind of app you actually build

Work at Emergent? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.
