The short answer
Emergent is built for fast agentic first builds, deploys with custom domains, and on its paid plans also builds Expo/React Native mobile apps. The difference is where the backend lives: Vibely connects your own Supabase project in a click and generates the schema, row-level security and auth in it, syncs two ways with GitHub, and builds the web app and a native React Native + Expo app in one workspace sharing that Supabase project. Pick Emergent for fast agentic first builds; pick Vibely when you want the database and auth in a Supabase project you own.

Where Vibely differs from Emergent
Web and mobile sharing one backend
Both tools build Expo/React Native mobile apps, Emergent on its paid plans and Vibely on every plan. In Vibely, the web app and the mobile app come from the same conversation and, on Pro and Business, share your own Supabase project, so one database and one auth setup serve both.
Database and auth the agent writes
Connect Supabase to a project in a click and the agent generates the tables, the RLS policies, and the auth flows your app actually needs — no schema design by hand.
Team roles and a shared credit pool
Team roles come with Pro; shared workspaces and a shared credit pool come with Business, so a team builds from one workspace instead of separate accounts.

Switching to Vibely from Emergent
Vibely does not import a codebase built on another platform. You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Step 1
You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Start building freeStep 2
Connect Supabase to a project in a click and the agent takes it from there — tables, row-level security, and data access patterns generated from what your app actually needs. The Supabase integration is on Pro and Business.
Step 3
From the first message the output is real React and TypeScript, and you can connect that Vibely project to a GitHub repository and keep the two in sync from there. GitHub sync works on every plan.
Step 4
One-click publish to a live URL on every plan, with custom domains from Pro. Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps alongside the web app on every plan, from the same prompt and the same project; App Store and Google Play publishing is on Pro and Business.
Moving off Emergent
Vibely does not import a project built on another platform, so moving a Emergent app across means rebuilding it here rather than transferring it. Worth knowing before you start, not after.
