FAQs about v0 by Vercel: 

What is v0 used for?

v0 is a useful generative AI tool that lets you describe what you would like a website or application to look like using simple text prompts. This AI-powered tool then takes that description and automatically generates code, streamlining UI creation for visual elements. You can then chat to request changes, refinements, or post follow-up prompts, and v0 updates the existing output without starting over.

So, instead of manually writing all the code to design UI components like buttons, layouts, and other elements, v0 simply needs a user-generated prompt, and it will generate a starting point for you. While it primarily works with React, a popular framework for building React components, it can also create basic web code, such as HTML and CSS.

Is Vercel v0 free?

Yes, v0 offers a free plan for individuals to get started. The free plan includes $5 worth of credits, up to 5 projects, the ability to generate code and UI, and deploy apps to Vercel.

v0 by Vercel’s paid plans include:

• Premium: $20/month – more credits, unlimited projects, and Figma import
• Team: $30/user/month – team collaboration features and shared credits

Is v0 included in Vercel?

Good news, if you already have a Vercel account, you're all set to connect with v0. Your existing Vercel login will give you access to it, making it handy to integrate into your existing development workflow and design systems. So, you're all set to start exploring v0 with the account you already have.

Is v0 Vercel open source for UI components?

While v0 itself isn't entirely open source, the good news is that the user interface code it creates is built using something called shadcn UI. shadcn UI is a collection of ready-made website building blocks that are freely available and open for anyone to use and modify. So, the actual visual elements v0 generates are based on these open-source components.

Which is better, Bolt or v0?

It depends on what you're trying to do.

• If you’re working on full-stack development, particularly the front-end (what you see and interact with) and the back-end (the behind-the-scenes logic, backend integrations, and databases), Bolt.new might be a more capable alternative for those lines of development tasks.
• If you're a dev, designer, or marketer primarily focused on prototyping and UI creation using React, then v0 by Vercel could be a great fit, especially if you're prioritizing performance and front-end quality.
