Atoms
Also known as: Atoms.dev, Atoms AI, MetaGPT X, MGX
Atoms, from the team behind the open source MetaGPT framework, builds websites and apps from chat with a team of AI agents: a team lead plans, a product manager and architect specify, and an engineer writes, debugs and deploys the code on Atoms Cloud with login, database, storage and hosting. Research, SEO, ads and analytics agents then market the app, including Google Ads campaigns that wait for owner approval. Pro starts at $20 a month.
Atoms is sold by MetaGPT LLC, a Delaware company led by Chenglin Wu, creator of the open source MetaGPT multi agent framework. The product launched as MetaGPT X, or MGX, and was renamed Atoms, with mgx.dev now redirecting to atoms.dev, and Atoms reports more than a million builders in over 170 countries and regions. Its pitch is a team of AI employees that validate an idea, build the product and help find customers, all from one project chat.
A team leader agent, Mike, breaks a request into a plan for approval and routes it to Emma, the product manager, who writes requirements, Bob, the architect, who picks the stack and data model, and Alex, the engineer, who writes the code with terminal access, fixes errors and deploys to a live address; Race Mode on the Max plan runs several teams on different models in parallel.
Atoms Cloud gives each app development and production databases on PostgreSQL, user sign in by email or Google, storage, transactional email, keys and scheduled jobs, or a project can use the customer's own Supabase instead. Builders pick the model, from Claude, GPT and Gemini to DeepSeek and Qwen, connect GitHub, Stripe, Linear, Asana and other tools, restore earlier versions and export the code. A page validation agent clicks through the generated pages and takes screenshots to catch broken buttons, forms and navigation.
Four more agents work on the finished app. Iris runs deep research with citations, David analyzes project data, Sarah writes SEO pages after a plan is approved, and Adrian connects to Google Ads and creates search campaigns in a paused state after two owner approval cards, then pauses, enables, analyzes or rebudgets them, while GA4 and Search Console dashboards sit in a Marketing module. Apps are hosted by Atoms in the United States, with custom domains on paid plans, and Atoms says it does not train models on user content. It names no security certification or single sign on, and offers no public API.
Free gives 15 credits a day up to 25 a month, Pro starts at $20 a month for 100 credits with tiers to $70, and Max starts at $100 a month for 500 credits and scales to 10,000, with up to 21 percent off yearly and a separate wallet for running apps' cloud and AI use. It fits founders and small businesses that want a working app and its first marketing from one tool, and builders who like to watch a planned team of agents work. It fits less well for teams that need enterprise security, a public API, work in their own existing repository, or ads beyond Google.

Integrations
GitHub push and pull to a new private repository; Supabase as an alternative backend with read and write access; Stripe payments; Google Ads, GA4 and Search Console connected by OAuth for the marketing agents; Linear, Asana and Todoist read and write, plus Box, Dropbox and Google Drive, Calendar and Sheets as workspace connectors; and a Discord bot. No public API, SDK or MCP server.
In practice
A founder describes a booking app for a window cleaning business. Mike drafts a plan for approval, Emma writes the user stories, Bob picks the stack and data model, and Alex builds the app on Atoms Cloud with sign in, a database and Stripe payments, then publishes it to a live address.
After launch, the owner asks Sarah to optimize SEO; she proposes a plan, writes the pages once it is approved and hands them to Alex, while the owner connects Search Console and GA4 in the Marketing module to watch traffic.
The owner asks Adrian to create ads, approves the cost warning and the campaign plan, and Adrian sets up a paused Google Search campaign with a conversion action, which the owner enables and later asks Adrian to analyze and rebudget.

|---|---|

Adrian connects to Google Ads over OAuth and creates search campaigns, then pauses, enables, deletes or rebudgets them and can apply Google's recommendations, while Atoms can create a GA4 account, property and stream, add the tracking code and set up a Search Console property. Projects can use Supabase with read and write access to its database, auth, storage and edge functions, take Stripe payments, push to GitHub, and read and write Linear, Asana and Todoist tasks, with files from Box, Dropbox and Google Drive.

| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
Mike, the team leader agent, splits a request into a plan, routes each part to the product manager, architect, engineer or a specialist agent, and asks questions through cards. Work hands off on its own, from Sarah's SEO pages to Alex for building and from Adrian to Alex for conversion tracking, several agents can take independent tasks from one message with a queue behind them, and Race Mode on Max runs several agent teams on different models in parallel.

|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Partial |
|
Agents read the project's files and state, attachments of up to 100 MB a file and folders of up to 500 files, references to other projects, connected tools such as Google Drive, Box and Dropbox, and web pages through Deep Research with citations. Atoms offers no knowledge base or document library that persists across projects for agents to search, so grounding comes from what each project holds and what a person attaches.

|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Full |
|
Mike shows plan cards to approve or decline before work starts, Sarah's SEO pages wait for an approved plan, and Adrian shows two owner approval cards, a real cost warning and then the campaign plan, before creating a campaign that starts paused, with high risk Google recommendations needing a separate confirmation. Connectors may confirm before writing outside Atoms, edits arrive as a diff to submit or discard, and version history restores any earlier state. Budget changes on an existing campaign can skip a new plan card. Sourcehelp.atoms.dev/en/articles/12129582-ads-agentread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Partial |
|
Accounts sign in by email and password, magic link or Google, and workspaces have Owner and Editor roles, with only the owner able to connect integrations such as Google Ads. Atoms says it does not use personal data or user content to train or improve AI models and hosts in the United States, but it names no SOC 2, ISO or other certification, no single sign on and no subprocessors, and describes encryption only in general terms.

|
| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Each project shows a terminal panel, console logs and an issue report card with stack traces, the credits each message used and cloud and AI usage refreshed daily. Jobs keep a run history, and the Marketing module brings GA4, Search Console and Google Ads results into dashboards. Atoms offers no audit log, export of agent actions or tracing beyond what the project chat itself shows. Sourcehelp.atoms.dev/en/articles/12129554-app-viewerread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Memory & State Persistence | Partial |
|
Every agent reads the project state and the previous agent's output, long chats are organized automatically to keep context, and a memory compression experiment runs for some groups. API keys can be saved to a library and reused across projects, but no memory of a builder's preferences or past corrections carries from one project to the next or appears where a person can view or delete it.

|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Partial |
|
Atoms hosts published apps in the United States on its own domain, with development and production environments and custom domains on paid plans, and billing continues while an app is paused. A project can run on the customer's own Supabase organization instead of Atoms Cloud, which puts the backend in an account the customer controls, while ZIP or GitHub export is a way off the platform rather than another place to run. No region choice or self hosting exists. Sourcehelp.atoms.dev/en/articles/12129577-publish-your-projectread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs | Full |
|
Eight named agents come ready to work as a fixed team, from the team leader, product manager, architect and engineer to agents for deep research, data analysis, SEO and Google Ads, and custom agents cannot be added. Templates, themes, a Discover gallery and remixing of public projects give starting points, and output types cover web apps, Android apps, video, slides, documents and reports. Sourceatoms.dev/ai-agentsread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Partial |
|
Agents start from a chat message, an at mention or a Marketing shortcut such as Optimize SEO, Create ads or Analyze, which sends a request into the chat. Atoms Cloud Jobs run a built app's own routes on a schedule with run history, but those call the app's code rather than an agent, and no schedule, event or API starts an agent, so the research, SEO and ads agents work only when someone asks.

|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Full |
|
A model selector offers Auto or a chosen model across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Qwen and Zhipu, from Claude Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol to Gemini 3.7 Flash and GLM 5.2, and only an admin can change a workspace's default model. Custom Race Mode runs up to four models on the same task in parallel. There is no bring your own key for the agents themselves, while built apps call AI with no keys and bill a separate wallet.

|
| APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility | Not documented |
|
No public API, SDK, command line tool or MCP server is offered for the builder or its agents, and outside tools reach Atoms only through its own connectors and a Discord bot. A separate Atoms Router site presents an AI API gateway, but it shows no guides, pricing or link to building apps, so nothing lets another program create projects, start agents or read their results.

|
| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Partial |
|
An issue report card catches runtime errors with stack traces and a Resolve button sends them back to the engineer agent, terminal errors are detected automatically, and a security scan runs before each publish, though a builder can choose Publish Anyway. Atoms writes and runs no automated test suite that a person can see, so checks stop at error repair and the scan before an app goes live.

| Browser / Computer-use | Full |
|
A page validation agent opens the generated app in a browser, clicks through buttons, forms and navigation, takes screenshots and scores what works, and tool cards show the agent reviewing the rendered page as it builds. Changelog fixes for missed clicks, screenshot failures and accidental filling of login and sign up forms describe how it works on real pages, and it covers only the app being built, never outside sites or a desktop.

What is public
Free, Pro and Max credit tiers with monthly and yearly prices and the refund terms; cloud and AI wallet rates are not public.
Billing mechanics
Credit plans billed monthly or yearly, with annual credits released monthly, auto top up on paid plans and a separate wallet for running apps.
Cost watchouts
The cloud and AI wallet for running apps has no published rates, Team Mode uses more credits than the engineer alone, and Google Ads spend is billed separately by Google.
Variable cost rationale
Plans are flat credit allowances, but Team Mode and Race Mode draw more credits than the engineer alone, running apps bill a separate wallet with unpublished rates, and ad spend on Google is extra.
Additional watchouts
Wallet rates for running apps are unpublished, and ad spend and Team Mode raise the real cost.
Overage / add-ons
More credits come from a higher tier or auto top up on Pro and Max, running apps draw cloud and AI use from a separate wallet after free amounts, and Google Ads spend is billed by Google.
Sales call required
No, self serve available
Free / trial
The free plan gives 15 credits a day up to 25 a month, 2 GB of storage and one member, and stays free with no time limit.
Lowest paid plan
Pro at $20 a month for 100 credits
Commercial notes
MetaGPT LLC of Delaware sells Atoms directly as self serve plans, with the marketing agents included in the same credits.
Key ambiguities
Max is listed up to 10,000 credits while the page data holds tiers up to $8,000 a month, an Ads page offers a free trial that the pricing page does not, and the pricing FAQ repeats free plan credit limits under paid plans.
Cancellation / refund
Monthly or yearly plans; refunds within 24 hours, or 14 days in the EU, UK and Turkey, only when no credits have been used.
Support SLA / resale
Paid plans add private projects, code downloads, GitHub, custom domains, analytics reporting, badge removal and unlimited collaborator seats, and Max adds Race Mode; there is no team or enterprise plan.
Missing data
Cloud and AI wallet rates, a team or enterprise offer and what a credit buys in practice.
