- free tier: Emergent Free: "10 credits on your first day", "Publish to production | no", and the note says the Free tier exists "to explore Emergent", quoted | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: trial
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: the 10 credits are granted once on the first day and not refilled, so the second day has nothing; publishing also needs 50 credits, which free never reaches. | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): the 10 credits are granted once on the first day and not refilled, so the second day has nothing; publishing also needs 50 credits, which free never reaches. [1]
- limits note: the 10 credits are granted once on the first day and not refilled, so the second day has nothing; publishing also needs 50 credits, which free never reaches.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: 10 credits is one exploration, not a workload; the only thing it produces is a judgement about whether the paid tier is worth USD 17 a month.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: compute/emergent-ventures is a different entity: a grant fund, not this app builder. The two must not be merged on the shared word. A third-party review site states the free tier is 10 credits a month and calls it "Free forever"; the vendor page says first day. The conflict is recorded rather than resolved, because the vendor page is the stronger source and it does not say monthly.
