Not enough evidence yet.
Verdict: Choose v0 if you work in React or Next.js and want AI-generated UI you can drop into a codebase you already have. Builders in our cited sources say that's where it is strongest. The trade-off is scope: builders say it isn't a full app builder, so you'll still need a backend, auth and hosting. The free plan allows 7 messages a day. For a complete app from a prompt, look at Lovable or Bolt.new instead.
Based on cited builder feedback and official docs/pricing. Not a hands-on test.
