v0 by Vercel - Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Best-in-class for Next.js scaffolding — speaks the framework natively
- ✓One-click deploy to Vercel kills the last mile of shipping
- ✓Multimodal input (Figma, screenshots) is genuinely useful
- ✓Design Mode lets non-developers edit visually after generation
- ✓Free tier with $5 credits is enough to try seriously
Cons
- ✗Next.js-only — exporting to other stacks is rough
- ✗7 message/day Free cap is restrictive for real prototyping
- ✗Credit-based billing can spike on heavy chats versus a flat sub
- ✗Generated code can drift from your existing conventions in monorepos
- ✗Lock-in to Vercel for the smooth deploy experience
Lovable - Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Click-to-edit element selector makes precise edits without precise prompting
- ✓Generated apps include working auth and Supabase backend out of the box
- ✓GitHub sync gives engineers a clean handoff when prototypes graduate
- ✓Figma and screenshot inputs produce surprisingly faithful UI
- ✓Netlify, Vercel, and domain purchasing eliminate deploy friction
Cons
- ✗Prompt credits on Free tier deplete quickly on real projects
- ✗Stack is locked to React + Vite + Tailwind + Supabase
- ✗Complex business logic still needs an engineer once usage scales
- ✗Migrating off Supabase later is significant rework
