Lovable vs v0

Two chat-to-app builders. Lovable builds and hosts full web apps; v0 generates React and Next.js code you deploy on Vercel.

Verdict

  1. 1

    Pick Lovable

    if you can't code and want a working, hosted app from a description. Pro is $25/mo with 100 monthly credits; its terms say you own the AI output.

  2. 2

    Pick v0

    if you can read React and want production-ready UI components and pages. Plus starts at $30/user/mo; Vercel advises human review before commercial use.

Bottom line: Non-developers: Lovable. Developers who want clean components: v0.

Watch out for
  • Credits are consumed per change; iteration costs add up.
  • Students can get up to 50% off Pro.
  • Included credits are spent by token use; bigger models (v0 Max at $5/$25 per 1M tokens) burn them faster.
  • The pricing page also showed a $90 figure next to Plus; check the plan options in the app.
