Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros No pros as they are obvious modern scammers. Be careful with your money. Gives Hope. This is by far the most positive aspect from Emergent. It is very promising, seeing the forking feature to retain agent context, but it fails to deliver. Clean and user-friendly interface. The credit system allows for small trial experiments. Cool web page. The UI and overall aesthetics is good. It feels very well designed like a software from the future. The A.I is your Best friend until you have to pay.the it will eat you up saying all the b.s. & Make you think your getting somewhere & Thats the Best Bit Cons The guys are a complete scam, without customer and commercial policy. They have posted a dummy app with AI tools, promising to deliver app dev, however it doesn't work even for kids app. Apart from that, their response in possible refund, due to not delivered what they promised, is a complete scam red flag. You are connected with people who are irrelevant with what Emergent offers, they don't have commercial policy published and according to global standards and you talk with an Indian (probably) call center who are specialized in scamming people globally. Don't even think to put your $20, as they will fly away and never return. Better to through them from your window... Modern Scammers are here! Takes away that Hope Mandates Expo but has plenty of incompatibility issues You have to pay for the incompatibility between Emergent and Expo You have to Rollback after You pay AI gets stuck in Loop of Error Fix and Never Fixes it AI promises it wont deduct credits before issue is fixed but will deduct credits anyways. A one-time credit purchase may automatically convert into a recurring subscription. Subscription auto-renews without clear consent, and refunds are denied. Credits are consumed very quickly, and the system sometimes resets usage. Customer support is unhelpful regarding refund requests and does not provide clear resolutions. Couldn’t even get to my second feature and it ran out of credit It starts Having Errors & it EATS Your credits.... Only Think think Your actually Getting somewhere Until you need to add more credits... Total LIE.		Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!
