Overview

  • YourStory maps a growing vendor field—TableSprint, Launch, AppyPie, Kissflow, and Emergent—now selling tiered products that turn natural‑language prompts into working apps.
  • Launch, introduced in June 2025, offers a free plan with four messages and a $20/month Pro tier with 100 messages that roll over, plus a Copilot service pairing AI with human debugging.
  • Emergent 2.0, released in July, promotes an agentic workflow that plans, codes, tests, and deploys full‑stack apps with features such as one‑click deployment, role‑based access control, security scanning, and CI/CD.
  • TableSprint’s AI Consult enables conversational full‑stack development with a Free Forever plan for core features and a custom‑priced enterprise option, while AppyPie and Kissflow continue to court nontechnical users with AI‑assisted no‑/low‑code tools.
  • Recent guidance from Fast Company and DEV Community underscores limits—scalability, security, quality control, and debugging—recommending human oversight for architecture, testing, and production readiness.
