v0

Vercel's AI app builder: describe a UI or full-stack app in chat and get React/Next.js code you can deploy.

AI design tool by Vercel. Free plan last checked 9 October 2026.

Is v0 free?

The free plan is $0/month with up to 7 messages per day. It includes deploying to Vercel, visual editing in Design Mode and GitHub sync. New users also get $5 in one-time credits that don't renew.

The catch

7 messages a day goes fast when you iterate on one app. Every fix or tweak uses a message, so bigger builds take days or need a paid plan.

Best for

  • Prototyping a landing page or dashboard UI
  • Generating Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn/ui components
  • Shipping a quick demo to a live Vercel URL
  • Starting a repo with GitHub sync and finishing it in your editor

How to start

  1. Go to v0.app and sign in with a free Vercel account
  2. Describe the app or component in chat, or paste a screenshot
  3. Adjust it with Design Mode or follow-up prompts
  4. Deploy to Vercel or sync to GitHub to keep working locally

v0 moved from v0.dev to v0.app. The $20/month Premium plan is closed to new users, so the cheapest paid plan for new users is Plus at $30 per user per month, with monthly and daily credits.
