Emergent vs Rocket

Emergent

• Solo founders who want a web app and a matching mobile app from one project
• Non-developers building internal tools, dashboards or CRMs by prompt
• Builders who want the generated code in their own GitHub repository

Rocket

• Founders who want market research and the app build in one product
• Teams that want unlimited members on a flat platform fee
• Building a Next.js web app and a Flutter mobile app from prompts

Emergent

• The Free plan has 10 credits a month and cannot deploy apps, connect GitHub or use custom domains.
• Each deployed app uses 50 credits a month, half of the Standard plan's 100-credit allowance.
• Monthly subscription credits do not roll over; top-up credits, at $10 for 50, never expire.
• Mobile apps use a fixed Expo, FastAPI and MongoDB stack; Flutter and native Swift or Kotlin are not supported.

Rocket

• The Free plan is a one-time grant of 20 credits that does not refill each month.
• Full Solve reports and competitor Intelligence need the Rocket plan at $50 a month or Booster; Pro has Light Solve only.
• Custom domains and downloading the project as a .zip file need a paid plan.
• Canceling a plan makes all unused credits, including purchased add-ons, expire at the end of the billing cycle.

Emergent

Agent-built full-stack apps

Describe an app in chat and Emergent's agents write the frontend and backend, set up authentication, then test and debug the result.

Mobile apps with Expo

A Mobile agent builds iOS and Android apps from one Expo (React Native) codebase with a FastAPI backend and MongoDB. It is available on paid plans only.

Web and mobile conversion

A deployed web app can be rebuilt as a mobile app, or the reverse, with both versions sharing the same backend, database and login.

Deployment and custom domains

Previews expire after 30 minutes; deploying keeps an app online and costs 50 credits a month per app. Custom domains are available on paid plans.

GitHub integration

Paid plans can connect GitHub for version control. Emergent states that you own the generated code and can download, modify or host it elsewhere.

Custom agents and Pro modes

Pro adds custom AI agent creation, system prompt editing, a 1M context window and an Ultra thinking mode for complex builds.

Rocket

Build: prompt-to-app generation

Describe an app in chat and Rocket generates a Next.js web app or a Flutter mobile app, which can then be changed through chat, visual editing or the code view.

Solve research reports

Solve answers a business or market question with a structured, sourced report. Free and Pro get Light Solve; Full Solve needs the Rocket or Booster plan.

Intelligence competitor monitoring

Follows chosen companies across nine signal areas, including website changes, hiring and pricing, and delivers daily briefs. Included on Rocket and Booster.

Launch and custom domains

Web apps publish to a staging URL before going live, and custom domains need a paid plan. Flutter projects can be downloaded as an APK or prepared for the App Store and Google Play.

Connectors

The docs list more than 26 services that can be wired into an app from a prompt, covering payments, databases, AI models, email, analytics and CRM.

Code access and GitHub sync

Source files can be viewed and edited in the browser and pushed to GitHub, with two-way sync for Next.js TypeScript projects. Downloading a .zip needs a paid plan.
