v0
v0 is Vercel's UI generator. Rechecked 2026-08-17: v0.app/pricing sells Free $0 with $5 of included monthly credits, Plus $30 with $30 monthly credits per user plus $2 daily credits on login, and a $100 row that repeats the same Plus credit grants (team sharing / extra credit packs). Enterprise is custom. The same page lists separate token rates for v0 models (for example $0.20 / $1.20 per 1M input/output on one v0 row, and higher v0 Pro rows). The old "describe anything, get production code, one-click domain, no meter" blurb is out.
Compare Bolt.new if you wanted an in-browser full-stack builder at Pro $25, Lovable if you wanted another credit-metered chat-to-app, and Cursor if you wanted an IDE.
Key Features
- UI from a prompt: Generate and iterate interface code, then take it into a Vercel project. Treat the live editor as the catalog.
- Credit wallet: Free includes $5 / month. Plus includes $30 / user / month plus $2 / day on login. Extra credits can be bought.
- Team sharing: Paid rows mention shared chats and purchased credits across the team.
- Not a free deploy button: Domain and hosting still sit on your Vercel plan. Do not collapse v0 credits into Vercel Pro $20.
Use Cases
- People who will stay on Free $5 to try a few screens.
- People who will pay Plus $30 for the monthly plus daily credit pool.
- People comparing v0 vs Bolt vs Lovable on public credit/token tables.
Limitation: The $100 row on the page we opened looked like a higher Plus/team pack with the same $30 + $2 credit copy. Recheck the live label before you treat $100 as a different product. Token rates on that page are model meters, not the Plus seat.
Pricing

If a leftover blog still says v0 is unmetered natural-language coding, treat this table as the source.
Getting Started
- Open v0.app/pricing and burn the $5 Free credits on one screen.
- Generate at v0.dev or v0.app before you buy Plus $30.
- Recheck Bolt or Lovable if you needed a full-stack builder, not a UI generator.
- Do not assume Vercel Pro includes unlimited v0.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is v0 still free and unlimited?
No. Free includes $5 / month. Plus is $30.
Same as Vercel Pro $20?
No. That is hosting. This page is v0 credits.
Same as Bolt?
Bolt builds runnable apps on a token meter. v0 is Vercel's UI generator on credits.
Alternatives
Tips
- Quote Free $5 credits and Plus $30.
- Do not paste "one-click public internet, no meter" into a deck.
- Recheck the $100 row label before you buy it.
Conclusion
v0 is a credit-metered Vercel UI generator, not an unmetered natural-language coder. Start at v0.app/pricing, then decide whether Bolt.new already covers the app you need.
