v0 by Vercel is an AI builder that generates working web applications and user interfaces from text prompts, screenshots, Figma files or wireframes, then lets you publish or deploy them. You describe what you want, v0 writes the code, and you refine it in a built-in editor with live previews.
It is agentic by default: v0 plans work, creates tasks and connects to databases as it builds, and it can push code to a GitHub repository or deploy straight to Vercel. The company positions it for teams that want to prototype, build and ship faster, and says previews now run your app the way it would run in production, including server-side code, API routes and database connections.

What v0 by Vercel does
Prompt to working app
Describe an idea in your preferred language and v0 generates a running application rather than a static mockup. It can also start from a screenshot, a Figma file or a wireframe to produce a high-fidelity interface.
GitHub sync with pull requests
Connecting a chat to GitHub makes v0 create a working branch on the first code change and commit automatically after each change. You can open a pull request from v0, and publishing creates or reuses that pull request, merges it and starts the production deployment.
One-click deploy to Vercel
Generated sites can be published as live websites or deployed to Vercel production in one click. Custom domains and project settings such as environment variables live alongside the chat.
Design mode and design systems
Visual controls let you fine-tune spacing, layout and styling with a live preview instead of editing code by hand. Design systems let you define colors, typography and styles once and reuse them across projects.
Full editor and production-like previews
A VS Code-style editor sits in the same place as the AI agent, previews and configuration. Previews run inside Vercel Sandbox, a lightweight virtual machine, so server-side features like API routes and databases work before you deploy.
Templates and integrations
Ready-made components and full-page templates cover landing pages, dashboards, ecommerce stores and games. v0 connects to tools and APIs including GitHub, Vercel, Figma, Snowflake and ChatGPT, and there is an iOS app for building from a phone.
How to use v0 by Vercel
- 1Open v0 in the browser or the iOS app and start a new chat.
- 2Describe what you want to build, or attach a screenshot, Figma file or wireframe as a starting point.
- 3Iterate in the editor and design mode, checking the live preview as the agent makes changes.
- 4Optionally connect the chat to a GitHub repository so changes land on a branch and go through a pull request.
- 5Publish as a live site or deploy to Vercel, and attach a custom domain if you need one.
Popular for
Product managers validating ideas
Draft a prototype of a feature, gather feedback and align stakeholders before engineering time is spent. The docs also list generating interview questions, feedback forms that write to a database, and templates for RFCs.
Designers turning mockups into real UI
Clone a page from a screenshot or Figma file, generate the CSS and HTML, add accessibility improvements to basic elements, and hand interactive components to developers.
Engineers scaffolding full-stack work
Create React components and custom hooks, migrate to newer Next.js features, and use v0 as a pair programmer while you handle the harder parts. Git integration is optional, so you can work without a repository.
Data teams building on Snowflake
Data scientists can build and deploy data applications on Snowflake with v0, working in Python and SQL to analyze data and present results.
v0 by Vercel pricing
Freemium- v0 uses a freemium model with four plans, all priced in USD per month and excluding taxes.
- Free is $0 per month.
- Plus is $30 per user per month and Business is $100 per user per month; both add team features such as shared chats, centralized billing on vercel.com and the option to buy additional credits beyond the included monthly usage.
- Enterprise is custom-priced and adds SAML SSO, role-based access control, training opt-out, priority access and support SLAs.
Pros
- A free plan lets you test prompt-to-app generation before paying anything.
- GitHub integration is optional and never pushes directly to main, so production code stays behind pull requests.
- Previews run server-side code, API routes and database connections, so what you see matches the deployment.
- Templates and design systems cut the setup work for landing pages, dashboards and component libraries.
- An iOS app covers building and shipping from a phone, not just the desktop browser.
Cons
- The free plan caps usage at 7 messages per day.
- v0 will not push directly to main by design, so every change has to go through a pull request.
- Usage is measured in tokens for both prompts and output, so the cost of a message depends on how much context it carries.
- SAML SSO, role-based access control and support SLAs are only on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
