What Emergent sells

Emergent is one of the tools that turn a written description into a working app, with AI agents doing the design, code and deployment. It is priced in monthly credits across a free plan and two self-serve paid plans, with custom pricing for teams.

The price of one credit

Divide each plan's price by its credits and the result is surprising.

PlanMonthly priceCreditsCost per credit
Standard$20100$0.20
Pro$200750$0.27

Pro gives you seven and a half times the credits for ten times the price, so each Pro credit costs a third more than a Standard one. What Pro adds is capability: a much larger context window, custom agents and faster computing. If you only need more credits, compare the cost of buying extra credits on Standard, which the page allows but does not price. The page also does not label which price is monthly and which is annual. We inferred it from the stated savings of $36 and $396 a year.

Refunds and terms

The pricing page mentions no trial beyond the free plan and states no refund policy. It does not say whether prices are per user or per workspace. The footer lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Terms change, and the wording on the day you order is what counts. Save a copy with your order confirmation.

What to check before you buy

  • Build something small on the free plan to see how many credits a real feature costs.
  • Ask the price of extra credits on Standard before upgrading to Pro.
  • Check you can export the code to GitHub and run it elsewhere.
  • Ask who owns the generated code and where your app's data is stored.

Who it suits

A reasonable choice if

  • You want a working prototype without hiring a developer.
  • You have tested your idea on the free or Standard plan.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need a production system with strict compliance needs and no developer to review the code.
  • You want Pro only for more credits.
