Five Emergent alternatives, sorted by what you need instead.

DoAny: for a web business launched without code

Best for: non-technical founders who want a business live, not only an app. DoAny researches your idea and market first, then builds a web app with customer accounts, data and Stripe checkout on its own hosted backend. Payments are direct charges on your own Stripe account, and DoAny takes 0% of your sales on every plan; Stripe’s fees still apply.

Moving from Emergent: you don’t start over: bring your exported Emergent code and database records, and DoAny imports them. You can export your code and data anytime and sync your code to GitHub, and DoAny does not train AI models on your data; DoAny’s Terms rule out equity and revenue share. The DoAny vs Emergent page works through the side-by-side comparison, including a year’s cost.

After launch: Annie posts every day, finds customers and follows up, runs your CRM and answers customers around the clock. Turning on payments, paid renders and new recurring jobs wait for your approval on a button.

Watch out for: no native iOS or Android apps. You change things by telling Annie; the Code view is read-only, there’s no visual editor and no one-click rollback. The checkout on the sites DoAny builds is Stripe only at the moment, with no coupons or free trials. That checkout can’t connect an existing Stripe account yet, so live subscriptions don’t come across with an import. DoAny has no SSO and no connector marketplace. Hosting never uses credits, and when credits run out, work pauses with no overage or automatic recharge.

Price: Free is $0 with no card: unlimited companies sharing 5 credits a day (up to 30 a month), and it can go live and take real card payments; Emergent’s Free plan can’t publish to production, and Lovable’s built-in payments need a paid plan. Pro starts at $25 a month for 100 monthly credits plus 5 a day, with your own domain; top-ups cost $15 per 50 credits.

Replit: for an iPhone app shipped from the browser

Best for: founders who need an App Store app without a terminal. Replit’s Launch feature builds, signs and uploads an Expo app to App Store Connect from the Publishing tab. It also imports public and private GitHub repositories, so you can keep working on the code you saved from Emergent.

Watch out for: Launch stops at the upload: TestFlight and submitting for review happen in App Store Connect, the web app has to be published first, publishing can take up to 45 minutes, and the bundle ID is permanent after the first publish. Hosting is usage-based: an Autoscale deployment costs a $2 monthly base fee plus compute and requests, taken from your monthly credits first and billed as usage after that.

Price: Starter is free with one published app; the link goes down after 30 days unless you publish it again, and more published apps need Core. Core $20 a month, or $18 billed annually. Pro $100 a month, or $90, with larger Pro sizes up to $2,000 a month.

Rocket.new: for Flutter apps, with research in the same product

Best for: founders who want Flutter mobile apps or Next.js web apps with research in the same product. Every plan, Free included, has Light Solve, quick conversational research. Full Solve reports and “competitive intelligence” start on the $50 Rocket plan, and Rocket’s docs said new Intelligence sessions were paused when we checked on September 25, 2026.

Watch out for:

• Two-way GitHub sync works only for Next.js TypeScript projects; Flutter projects push one way, and code sync needs Pro.
• On Free, Build tasks are always public and may be used to improve Rocket’s AI.
• Publishing goes to a staging URL for testing; the live app goes on your own domain, which needs Pro.
• The framework is locked once a task starts, so there is no web-to-mobile conversion like Emergent’s, and iOS submission goes through Xcode. Credits roll over while you subscribe but expire when you cancel, even though the pricing cards say they never expire.

Price: Free with 20 credits. Pro $25 a month, or $20 billed yearly, for 100 credits. The Rocket plan is $50 ($40 billed yearly) for 250 credits and adds Full Solve and market intelligence.

Lovable: for a web app a developer can pick up later

Best for: a web app with a built-in backend and two-way sync with GitHub, so a developer can work on the same code later. Pro includes custom domains and credits that carry over for a month.

Watch out for:

• Lovable doesn’t generate React Native projects and can’t start a project from existing code, so your Emergent app has to be rebuilt.
• Hosting and the built-in backend use a 20-credit monthly Cloud grant first, then the same credits as building, and the backend pauses shortly after the balance hits zero.
• Automatic top-ups are opt-in and can be capped with a monthly limit.
• Since September 9, 2026, Lovable may train its models on Free and Pro data (prompts, code and project files) unless you turn it off in account settings; Business and Enterprise workspaces are excluded by default.

Price: Free is $0 with no card and publishes up to 5 apps on lovable.app addresses. Pro is $25 a month ($21 billed annually) for 100 credits, and Business $50 ($42). Our Lovable alternatives page goes deeper.

Base44: for an app you shape in a visual editor

Best for: non-coders who want to shape an app in a visual editor. Every plan includes a backend and database, sign-in and analytics, you can ship complete apps on Free, and paid plans add in-app code edits.

Watch out for: two separate meters, message credits and integration credits, and two-way GitHub sync starts on Builder ($50 a month, or $40 billed annually).

Price: Free with 25 message credits a month and up to 5 apps. Starter $20 a month, or $16 billed annually, for 100 message credits and any number of apps; Builder $50, or $40 billed annually.
