Frequently asked questions
Why would I choose Vibely over Emergent?
Vibely offers a more complete platform: mobile app building (React Native + Expo), a design mode for visual editing, a richer template library, built-in database and auth, and a more mature deploy pipeline with custom domains.
Does Vibely support mobile apps that Emergent does not?
Yes. Vibely builds React Native + Expo mobile apps from the same prompt-driven workflow as web apps. You can build a web app and its mobile counterpart in the same conversation.
How does Vibely's design mode compare to Emergent?
Vibely's design mode lets you visually refine your app's appearance — upload designs, adjust layouts, and see pixel-perfect output — alongside the generated code. Emergent is primarily a code-first workflow.
Is Vibely's backend more complete than Emergent's?
Vibely automatically wires up Supabase with the right table structure, RLS policies, and API patterns for your app. This saves hours of manual backend setup compared to Emergent's more code-centric approach.
Can I export my Vibely project to my own infrastructure?
Yes. All Vibely projects export real React (web) or React Native (mobile) code. You own it completely and can deploy it anywhere — Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, or your own servers.
