When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Emergent is named in these steps:
- App builder, step 3 of 3, otherwise: Standard ($20/mo, or $17/mo billed yearly); the step also names Lovable, Bolt.new, v0, Replit, Base44, Rork, a0.dev and Softgen, and the best score takes it.
- Websites and landing pages, step 3 of 6, when you also ticked app builder: Standard ($20/mo, or $17/mo billed yearly); the step also names Lovable, Bolt.new, v0, Base44 and Softgen, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
