As a business owner and mother of…
As a business owner and mother of three, I had a clear vision for a modular business ecosystem, but I am not a coder. Emergent changed everything. Not only was I able to build the 'BusinessStudio Suite'—a high-end B2B solution—but I also designed several professional websites for myself and my international clients.
The results are world-class, and my clients are absolutely blown away by the quality. I would choose Emergent again and again. My mind is already racing with new ideas for more apps, and I’m 'on fire' to keep building! A special thanks to Brian and Annanya for the incredible personal support. 5 stars!"
The 3 Things
If you know 3 things about your business why you want it?
What you want?
How you want it?
Emergent gets it done !Period!
money pit which never gets filled.
money pit which never gets filled.
Issues keep coming (even if you debugged in past).
After using it for sometime you realize its never enough and always need more credits.
I does build amazing app for sure. This will sweep you off your feet. But thats the trap exactly.
Ponzi scheme.

⭐ 1 Star – An Expensive Money Pit with an Extremely Unreliable Agent
⭐ 1 Star – An Expensive Money Pit with an Extremely Unreliable Agent
My experience with Emergent has been disastrous. I invested several thousand dollars into two apps, but much of that money was ultimately spent not on moving the projects forward, but on trying to rescue and repair what the agent itself had already broken.
Why two apps? Because the first PRD initially appeared to have been implemented reasonably well. Based on that first impression, I trusted the platform and started a second project almost immediately. That turned out to be a huge mistake.
The real nightmare began once I started reviewing the first implementation more closely. The PRD had not been implemented nearly as well as it initially appeared. There were errors, missing parts, logical gaps, incomplete features, dummy / fake functions and implementations that only looked finished on the surface. From that point onward, most of the work consisted of finding problems, explaining them repeatedly, and paying the agent to fix issues it had created itself.
What I was left with after spending several thousand dollars is essentially an expensive, smoking pile of crappy code that is still far from being a usable app.
This tool may be good enough for creating a nice-looking landing page, but do not use it to build a serious application.
The agent repeatedly ignored clear and explicit instructions, deviated from the agreed project concepts, invented requirements, added features that were never requested, and removed or changed existing functionality on its own. Even when it was explicitly told to make only one specific change, it would often interfere with completely unrelated parts of the project.
In some cases, it also inserted dummy implementations, placeholder functionality, or incomplete solutions without clearly disclosing this. Features appeared to exist, but turned out not to be genuinely functional once they were properly tested.
Every unnecessary modification, every mistake, and every attempt to fix the agent’s own mistakes consumed additional credits. The agent burns credits while creating problems and then burns even more credits while attempting to repair those same problems.
Over time, both codebases became increasingly inconsistent, tangled, unreliable, and difficult to maintain. Fixing one issue would frequently create another. Previously completed functionality would suddenly be altered or removed, and the agent could not be trusted to preserve the existing project structure or follow the established concept.
Both projects have effectively been destroyed in their current state. Completing them with any reasonable additional investment is now nearly impossible because a substantial amount of the existing work would first need to be reviewed, untangled, removed, corrected, or rebuilt from scratch.
The customer service was equally disappointing. Instead of first investigating the agent’s behavior and taking responsibility for what happened, my refund request was initially dismissed with a generic reference to their terms and conditions and the statement that used credits are non-refundable.
That completely misses the point. These credits were not consumed through normal, successful use of the service. They were consumed because the agent repeatedly ignored instructions, performed unauthorized work, created errors, concealed incomplete implementations, and then charged further credits while attempting to correct the damage it had caused.
A tool that performs this poorly should not be marketed as a serious app-building platform. The agent is far too unreliable to be trusted with important software projects or significant budgets. In its current state, it is a money pit.
I strongly advise others not to use Emergent for any important, complex, or expensive project. A promising initial result can create a completely false sense of confidence. By the time the deeper problems become visible, you may already have invested a substantial amount of money and started further projects based on that misplaced trust.
Be prepared to spend thousands of dollars on code that may ultimately need to be fully audited, untangled, repaired, or rebuilt by someone else.
The poor, inflexible, and responsibility-avoiding customer service makes an already disastrous experience even worse.

Building my app on the Emergent.sh is just great. But since I'm building it on my own as an indie dev, a person who has very little background in dev work, I got some help at the Emergent support! Arun Rajeev and
Mayank Saini are the two important persons that helped. Quick reply turnaround for some really tough (at least for me) brick wall during a couple of phases. But we pulled through them. Thank you guys.

They accept that they are charging inappropriately but say that to accommodate the client in transparent manner is not in their policy. Take a look on their emails. Be cautious before any purchase.
Hi Muhammad,
Thanks for the detailed report and the attached transcript. Here is what we found.
On the credit consumption
The preview environment ran into a system-level file-watcher limit, which caused the Metro bundler (the tool that builds your Expo preview) to crash and restart repeatedly. Each restart failed the same way, and the agent spent a significant number of iterations trying to work around a limit that sits outside the agent's control. This is what produced the "bad gateway" symptoms and the extended session.
A workaround has been applied to your preview (file watching disabled), and your Metro bundler is currently running normally. You can continue building. The one trade-off is that hot-reload is off until the underlying limit is raised, so code changes will need a manual preview restart to show up.
We have reviewed your credit refund request, and we will not be able to grant any extra credits for this issue.
On the currency symbols (₹ vs PKR)
The app was built with the Indian Rupee symbol (₹) in place across the sales, credits, stock, farmers, and home screens. This is a code-level fix you can make directly.
You can tell your agent:
"Replace every ₹ symbol with Rs. across the app. The currency for this app is PKR (Pakistani Rupee), not INR. Update sales.tsx, credits.tsx, stock.tsx, farmers.tsx, and index.tsx."
Once the agent applies the change, restart the preview to see the updated symbols.
Best regards,
Emergent Support Team
Hi Muhammad,
I understand the frustration and want to address both parts directly.
On the credits
Our position here stays the same: we are not able to grant any additional credits for this session. I have reviewed the request again against our policy and this is not something I can adjust.
On the currency change consuming more credits
The change from ₹ to PKR is a small, targeted find-and-replace across five files (19 occurrences in total). Sent as a single scoped instruction, it should be a very short session, not another long one. Your Emergent Standard subscription refreshes each billing cycle with a fresh credit grant, which will be available for this and your continued build work.
Where you stand right now
Your preview is running and the app is functional, so once you are ready you can send the currency prompt to your agent, restart the preview, and the updated symbols will show up.
Joining a Class Action against Emergent
We are are start up that signed with a fashion venture to launch our product and beauty shows with them.
They used Emergent to build their website and Emergent have stopped the website from launching since 5th July 2026 costing us bags of money.
They showed us screenshots that Emergent have deleted all our uploaded content and other Clients who had material that was playing on the site, their media no longer works.
Trust Pilot say you can only post if you have had experience g the product or service, well this is our experience.
FOR EVERYONE AFFECTED BY EMERGENT'S CRIMINAL SCAM
We have been referred to a Charity who form Class Actions and pay for all the legal costs as long a there are a minimum of 500 people who want to make
a claim against the same company or group of people.
They know about the Emergent Trust Pilot Reviews but Trust Pilots rules about promoting other businesses makes it hard to promote what they do ot everyone here whose been affected.
I can't even promote them or my Post will be deleted.
Apparently the Charity's going to be contacting Trust Pilot to find a way to get help and info to you all without infringing on their policy.
We've checked them out and they are legit.
You literally don't need to pay any money all the legal costs will be funded by them.
They don't ask you for money, or card detail, bank details or anything like that
All you need to show is that you have evidence and bank transactions of payments to Emergent
Its passed to a Solicitor who greenlight your case is strong enough for the Class Action and then you are signed up.
That is it.
The only Clause is the funding is for 500 Claimants and up so we all need to come together to get our money back.
I would advise to get all your stuff together and be ready.
We were told to do this and have this ready to present:
Collect the Evidence
Take screenshots, emails, zoom calls
From 13th July 2026 Emergent's Landlords and Investors were made aware of Emergent's criminal activity and were provided withevidence.
They all have failed to act
Under the law, a Commercial Landlord is legally obligated to take steps if they are informed that a tenant is carrying out criminal activity.
The Landlord can suspend or terminate access to their premises (office) as they investigate or until you confirm that the criminal activity has stopped.
This means they are now made liable for anyone who endures further losses, criminal behaviour of site or web build deletions, fraud or misuse by Emergent from 13th July 2026. Anyone.
MAKE EMERGENT PARTNERS LIABLE:
Contact the Investors
- Khosla Ventures
- Softbank
Contact the Emergent Landlord
- CBRE for the 255 California Street office
- WeWork UK, US and India for the Bangalore office
Write a short Statement:
Dear Sirs,
Under the UK Computer Misuse Act. (1990) The US The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (CFAA) and the Indian IT Act 200, Emergent are carrying out illegal activities and doing so in your property.
Fraud by False Misrepresentation:
Emergent have made these claims that is Web Builder App can do the following:
1. Deploy in minutes
2. Build complex apps in minutes ready to ship
3. No Code required
I have relied on these claims and spent £XXXX
These claims have not worked (Use whichever applies to you)
1. My site has not deployed
2. I have not built the site inminutes
2. The site is not functional and does not work
3. They keep giving me technical code instructions that do not work but cost me further to do
Criminal damage: (Use whichever applies to you)
- unlawful deletions to my site (features, pages, code that is built and created is deleted and I am charged again to re-build them)
- unlawfully restricting access to my IP
If Emergent do not rectify these issues by XXXX (give up to five working days time and date) I will be joining a Class Action and making you liable for your refusal to take approporaite action since 13th July 2026 which is teh date you were first notified of Emergents criminal activities"
Most likely they will ignore you and do nothing.
Do not let this bother you
The point is that you reported Emergent's criminal behaviour and they failed to act.
This will make them liable before the Courts
ALL YOU NEED FOR THE CLASS ACTION IS:
Your evidence
Your proof of Transactions
Your Emails to the landlords and Investors
And the amount you are claiming for which should be calculated using the following:
- The Amount you spent on builds, re-fixes that did not work
- Damages - personal life affected
- Losses - unable to trade
- Injury To Feelings - unresponsive emails, unfair practices i.e refusing to refund when it is clearly the Agents fault
- Interest - amount per day you wish to add from the day the Suit commences
It is all free
You just have to sit back and let the Charity and their lawyers do the rest.
Very simple and easy to use
Emergent is very simple and easy to use. I am a content creator and also entrepreneur, i was able to build software quickly just by describing what I needed through prompts, without having to understand complex coding. We are in an era where the cost of creating software has now drop significantly! =)

It's been incredible

There is no real support team, they dont stand behind their ai and its a endless money grabbing loop.Do not use emergent its a waste of time and money.

Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service, always issues with the platform, continually pay tokens for the AI doing things incorrectly. Program was pushed way too fast too market, and they literally do not care about their users. Even their own advertising shows they are giving money away to locals, and charging overseas customers way more. I would suggest using any other program then emergent.

I am sharing my personal experience with Emergent to warn other users.
I tried to cancel my subscription myself, but it was impossible. I had to contact their support team, who confirmed that my subscription had been cancelled.
Despite this confirmation, I later noticed that another attempt was made to charge my bank account. Because of this, I emptied my account and instructed my bank to block any future payment attempts from this company.
This experience has caused me to lose confidence in their billing practices. I believe a cancelled subscription should never result in additional payment attempts.
I strongly encourage anyone considering this service to carefully review the subscription and cancellation process before providing payment information.
This review reflects my personal experience.

Emergent quite literally made my dream come true
For over 5 years I have had an idea in mind without the coding ability to create it nor the cash to pay a team to do it for me. Then Emergent emerged and that all changed. eane.eu is my vision realised in weeks instead of years. It's an online academy providing free micro training courses across Europe in 10 languages - and counting. Working with Emergent meant that I could just give it my creative inputs and it listened, understood and made it happen. I've heard the expression 'make your dreams come true' many times but this is the first time that I've seen my dream actually come true. I can't recommend Emergent enough. Thanks to the team there. You've made this Irish man very happy and provided free training for a growing number of people.
Useful tool
Emergent's functionality is second to none. It's an incredibly useful tool for bringing almost any idea you can imagine to life. It has genuinely improved the way I work and has helped me save a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on other important aspects of my business.
Without a doubt, Emergent is a tool that can make your daily workflow more efficient and your business more productive. That's exactly what you hope to get from a service like this.
