Blaubok or Emergent?
Emergent uses AI agents to plan, write and deploy full-stack apps, for the web and for phones. Give it an idea and it builds the product, logic and all, which makes it a good choice for founders testing something new. Blaubok starts from a different place. It assumes you run a business that needs a website, and that most of what the site needs already exists: a CRM with pipelines, bookings, WhatsApp alerts, Razorpay and Stripe checkout, a blog with an AI writer, staff roles. Those come from the Blaubok engine, and the AI wires them in rather than generating them for each project. The other difference is where things live. Emergent hosts the apps you deploy with it. Blaubok puts the code in your GitHub, the data in your Supabase and the site on your Vercel from the first build. Pick Emergent for a new product. Pick Blaubok for a business site you want to own.
Which one fits you?
Pick Emergent if
- You’re building a new product, such as a SaaS tool or a marketplace, with logic of its own.
- You want to build a mobile app as well as, or instead of, a website.
- You want every line written as plain source code.
- You’d rather not create GitHub, Supabase or Vercel accounts to get started.
Pick Blaubok if
- You need a business website with leads, bookings and payments, not a new product.
- You want WhatsApp alerts and Razorpay checkout ready to switch on.
- You want the code, data and hosting in your own accounts from day one.
- You want edits to wait on a preview until you click Publish.

How each one charges
We describe how each tool charges rather than list prices, because prices change often.
How Emergent charges
Emergent sells subscription plans with a monthly allowance of credits, and building with its agents uses those credits. There is a free tier to try it, and paid plans add more credits and features. How much a project costs depends on how much work you ask the agents to do, since bigger changes take more of them. Deploying and hosting an app on Emergent is part of how it charges too, so check how hosting is billed before you launch. Emergent’s pricing page has the current plans and what each one includes.
How Blaubok charges
There is no required subscription. New accounts get free welcome credits, no card needed. After that, buy credit packs as you go, and the credits never expire, or take an optional monthly plan. AI chat uses credits per message, and each built-in feature is charged once per project, never on rebuilds. GitHub, Supabase and Vercel bill you directly, and all three have free tiers. If your plan and credits run out, there is a 14-day grace period, then the engine is committed into your repo so the site keeps building on its own.

Emergent vs Blaubok: common questions
What’s the main difference between Blaubok and Emergent?
What each one is for. Emergent’s agents build custom apps from scratch, for the web and for phones. Blaubok builds business websites on an engine where the CRM, bookings, WhatsApp alerts and payments already exist. If your idea is a new product, Emergent fits. If you need your business online with a working back office, Blaubok fits.
Where does Emergent win?
Emergent is the better choice for custom products: a SaaS tool, a marketplace, an app with unusual rules. It can build mobile apps, every line it writes is plain source code, and you can start without connecting any accounts of your own. Blaubok is deliberately narrower, and it asks you to connect GitHub, Supabase and Vercel first.
Can I leave either tool and keep my site?
With Blaubok, yes. The code is in your GitHub, the data in your Supabase and the hosting on your Vercel from the first build. If your plan and credits run out, there is a 14-day grace period, then the engine is committed into your repo so the site keeps building without us. With Emergent, you can save the code to GitHub and run it elsewhere, but check what moving the hosting and database involves.
Can I choose the AI model in Blaubok?
Yes. You pick the model for each message from the model picker in the chat. AI chat uses credits per message, at the rate shown in the model picker. Nothing is charged unless you ask for it, and credits never expire.
Is the pricing comparable?
They charge differently. Emergent is a subscription with a monthly credit allowance. Blaubok has no required subscription: free welcome credits, then credit packs that never expire, or an optional monthly plan. Built-in features are charged once per project, never per rebuild, and your hosting accounts bill you directly at their own rates, with free tiers to start.
Is Blaubok only for Indian businesses?
No. It suits Indian businesses well, with Razorpay, WhatsApp and pricing in rupees, but it sells worldwide. Stripe checkout is built in too, and international cards are welcome when you pay for Blaubok itself. Support is by email at info@clickfq.com, with a reply within 48 hours.
