v0 review (2026)

Our verdict

v0 by Vercel is an AI assistant for designing, iterating on and scaling full-stack web apps. Strengths: strong for polished UI and React/Next.js projects, and it fits naturally if you deploy on Vercel. Weaknesses: it's most at home in the Vercel and React world, and we haven't verified current pricing. Use it if you build modern web front ends and want good-looking UI fast. Skip it if you're not working on web apps, or you prefer a general-purpose coding agent.
