Our verdict
Being tested. An editor is using v0 hands-on; the verdict and score appear here once they sign it off.
What it does
v0 is Vercel’s AI app builder. Describe a website, dashboard or web app, or add a screenshot, and it builds a working version you can preview and refine by chatting.
It writes code with widely used web tools, so a developer can pick it up, and you can publish to Vercel’s hosting. It suits designers, founders and developers who want a fast first version.
Why use it
- It turns a description or screenshot into a working interface.
- Refine it by chatting, or edit the code directly.
- Publish it to the web on Vercel’s hosting.
- The code follows common standards, so a developer can continue it.
How it works
- Sign in at v0.app and describe what you want to build.
- Add a screenshot if you have one.
- Review the preview and ask for changes in plain English.
- Publish it to Vercel, or download the code.
How hard is it to use?
Intermediate Some set-up, or a little practice, to get good results.
Easy to get a first version, but taking an app further means understanding web code, which is why we rate it Intermediate.
What it costs
Free plan; paid plans. A free plan with a monthly allowance of credits, a few free credits each day and a daily message limit. Paid team plans (Plus, Business and Enterprise) add more credits and features.
Prices change often, so check v0’s own site before you pay.
Watch out for
- Credits can run out quickly on complex requests.
- Have someone review security before real customers or real data use the app.
- It works best with Vercel’s own hosting, which can make moving elsewhere harder.
Your data
Check v0’s terms and Vercel’s privacy policy for whether your prompts and code are used to train its AI, and whether your plan lets you opt out, before you share private work.
We haven’t confirmed that v0 can keep your data in the UK, so check where it keeps your data before you share anything private or about other people.
