Published tiers (verified 2026-05-06)
- Free: Limited monthly credits, watermarked deployments, public projects only
- Premium: $20/month, 5,000 credits/month, custom domains, private projects, GitHub export
- Team: $30/user/month, shared workspaces, role-based access, pooled credits
- Enterprise: Quote-based, SSO, SOC 2 attestation, audit logs, dedicated support
What counts as a credit
A credit is consumed per generation request. Generating a new component, regenerating a layout, or making a substantive code change each cost one or more credits depending on size. Reading existing code or chatting without code generation does not consume credits.
Hosting costs
v0-generated projects deploy to Vercel hosting. Vercel's hobby tier covers most prototype usage, with paid Vercel plans starting at $20/user/month (Pro) for production deployments. v0 itself does not charge for hosting.
Annual discount
Vercel offers approximately 20% off when v0 Premium and Team are billed annually. Enterprise is custom contracted.
Comparison to alternatives
For a frontend-focused indie developer building 2-4 marketing or admin UIs per month:
- v0 Premium: $20/month
- Lovable Pro: $20/month
- Bolt.new Pro: $20/month
- Cursor Pro: $20/month (general IDE)
v0 is competitively priced with peers and differentiates on Vercel integration, Next.js depth, and image-to-code quality. Teams already on Vercel hosting tend to find v0 the path of least resistance for new UI work.
