Emergent
Overview
Emergent is a no-code marketplace builder that differentiates itself with full code export — meaning you can build your marketplace visually and then export production-ready code for long-term ownership. This solves the common no-code concern of platform lock-in. Emergent is designed for founders and operators who want to move fast initially but maintain the option to hire developers and own their codebase later.
Best for: Founders who want no-code speed now with the option to own and customize their codebase later.
