Frontend development is changing fast.
Thanks to new tools like V0 and Lovable, you can now generate full UIs using natural language prompts. These AI-powered frontend builders are built for speed, collaboration, and flexibility.
But which one should you choose?
In this blog, we’ll compare V0 and Lovable based on features, use cases, and developer experience.
What Are V0 and Lovable?
Before jumping into the comparison, let’s define each:
V0 by Vercel
V0 is an AI-powered UI generator built by Vercel. It uses natural language to generate high-quality React code using Tailwind CSS and ShadCN UI components.
Ideal for:
- Full-stack devs using React + Tailwind
- Vercel users
- Rapid prototyping and MVPs
Lovable
Lovable is a design-to-code tool focused on building UI with natural language and collaborative workflows. It targets product teams, designers, and developers building React frontends with clean and editable code.
Ideal for:
- Teams (devs + designers)
- Building production-ready frontends
- AI-first product teams
V0 vs Lovable: Feature Comparison
| Feature | V0 | Lovable |
|---|---|---|
| Code Output | React + Tailwind + ShadCN UI | React + Tailwind (Clean, customizable) |
| AI Prompting | Yes (strong LLM integration) | Yes (focus on structured prompts) |
| Design to Code | No (AI-only input) | Yes (Figma import + AI prompts) |
| Component Editing | In-app code and visual editor | Visual editor + code editor |
| Export Options | Copy-paste or export to Vercel | Export to local or GitHub |
| Team Collaboration | Solo or pair-friendly | Built for teams |
| Pricing | Free (currently in beta) | Free plan + paid tiers |
| Integrations | Vercel-native | GitHub, Figma |
Strengths of V0
- Developer-first: Uses ShadCN UI and Tailwind — great if you already work in that stack.
- Speed: Generate full pages with a single prompt.
- Vercel-native: Seamless integration for Vercel deployments.
- Open UI output: You can edit and extend everything.
Example: Prompt "A landing page for a fitness app with pricing section" — and V0 gives you full React code in seconds.
Strengths of Lovable
- Team workflows: Great for teams with designers and PMs.
- Design + AI: Import Figma, then use prompts to enhance or build on top.
- Clean code output: Developer-friendly and production-ready.
- More structure: The prompts are more guided, which can be helpful for product teams.
Example: Upload a Figma file, then ask, “Make the signup form responsive and add password validation.” Lovable handles it.
Which One Should You Use?
Ask yourself:
-
Solo dev using React + Tailwind?
Go with V0. It’s fast, flexible, and tailored for developers. -
Working with designers or in a team?
Choose Lovable. Better for workflows, structured prompting, and teamwork. -

Need quick prototypes or landing pages?
V0 is fast and free.
Final Thoughts
Both tools are part of a growing trend: AI-powered frontend generation. Instead of starting from scratch, you now describe what you want, and the tool builds it.
V0 is best for developers who want to move fast.
Lovable is better for product teams who need collaboration.
Try both. See which fits your workflow.
