Basis: provider documentation. Examples are editorial suggestions, not hands-on product tests.

## Overview

v0 is a hosted product from Vercel. Its documentation lives on v0.app. The reviewed pages name no public source code.

- Provider: Vercel
- Product family: v0
- Profile type: AI agent for web apps and interfaces
- Environment: Browser; chats run in an isolated sandbox VM
- Connections: GitHub sync, Vercel deployments, databases such as Neon, Supabase and Upstash, MCP servers and marketplace integrations
- Setup: Start a chat in the browser, build by prompt and deploy to Vercel through Publish.
- Pricing model: Free plan with 7 messages a day; Plus $30 per user a month, Business $100. Usage runs on credits by token consumption.

## Key features

### Agent with web search and browser

v0 can search the web, open and use the apps it builds, and diagnose and fix errors in your project automatically. You can stop the agent at any time.

### Sandbox with terminal

v0 runs commands in the project’s sandbox. Three permission modes (Ask, Auto, Full) and your own rules control what runs without asking.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/terminal-commands

### GitHub sync and pull requests

v0 works on its own branch instead of the base branch. Publish opens or reuses a pull request and merges it; GitHub branch protection still applies.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/github

### Deployment on Vercel

Working branches get preview deployments with their own URLs. Publish updates production and is an explicit step.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/deployments

### MCP and marketplace integrations

v0 uses MCP servers and Vercel Marketplace integrations as tools during generation, with presets such as Linear, Notion or Sentry. You can connect your own servers with four authentication types.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/MCP

### Database integrations

One-click integrations connect providers such as Upstash, Neon, Supabase and Vercel Blob. For SQL integrations, v0 can generate and execute SQL, including creating and dropping tables.

## Example workflows

### Prototype from a description or mockup

- Your input: A description or mockup of the desired interface.
- Possible result: v0 builds the interface in the sandbox preview; Publish sends it to Vercel as a preview or production deployment.
- What to check: Check the preview and publish only then, as Publish is an explicit step.

### Change by pull request

- Your input: An existing GitHub repository imported into a chat and a limited change.
- Possible result: v0 writes to a working branch; Publish opens or reuses a pull request.
- What to check: Check the diff and preview in the pull request and complete required reviews in GitHub.

## Requirements and limits

### Deploy permission required

Requirement: Publishing requires a v0 role that can edit the chat and permission to deploy to the connected Vercel project. Team deployment policies can also block v0.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/deployments

### Daily limit on the Free plan

Limitation: Free has a limit of 7 messages a day. When credits are used up, generation pauses.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/pricing

### ChatGPT subscription does not switch automatically

Limitation: If you use a ChatGPT subscription, v0 pauses at your ChatGPT usage limit and saves progress but does not automatically switch to v0 credits.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/pricing

### MCP tools only during generation

Limitation: MCP servers only provide tools for v0 during generation. The generated code cannot call them directly.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/MCP

### Full Permissions bypasses rules

Limitation: In Full mode terminal rules are not evaluated, including for remote git pushes and destructive commands. The documentation recommends it only for non-sensitive projects without production credentials.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/terminal-commands

### Sandbox runs at most 24 hours

Limitation: A sandbox can run for at most 24 hours from its creation. A new VM-backed chat gets a new sandbox; state carries over only by fork or import.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/sandbox

### Persistent memory not described

Not yet confirmed: The agentic features page describes recall within the conversation only, not persistent memory.

Source: https://v0.app/docs/agentic-features

## A good fit if …

- you want to build interfaces and full-stack apps from descriptions or mockups and deploy straight to Vercel
- you want to review changes through branches and pull requests in a GitHub repository
- you want to set permission modes and rules for the agent's terminal commands yourself

## Less suitable if …

- you expect scheduled or recurring agent runs, which the pages do not describe
- you need persistent memory across chats
- you are looking for a self-run solution without a Vercel account

Editorial assessment based on provider documentation. Not a product test.

## Usable AI models

Open choice

You choose between the v0 Mini, Pro and Max models in the menu, and Vercel does not name what they are based on. You can add further models from the Vercel AI Gateway catalog, on Enterprise only after the owner allows it. With a ChatGPT plan, supported OpenAI models run through your account, but you still need a v0 credit balance.

- Model families named: In-house model, OpenAI (GPT) · Other models can be connected freely
- Model choice: You choose
- Your own API key: Yes
- Router or custom endpoint: Yes
- Local models: Not stated
- Depends on: Plan, Admin approval

## Europe & regional availability

Security page, FAQ and pricing pages reviewed. They name no country release and no data regions; on GDPR the security page gives a general statement.

Reviewed scope: Hosted service; execution on Vercel infrastructure
Reviewed on: 2026-11-05

### Availability in Europe

Availability still unclear

The reviewed pages name no country list and no restriction. An explicit statement about Europe is missing.

Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: A missing statement is not availability.

Official source: https://v0.app/docs/security
Official source: https://v0.app/docs/faqs

### Data storage: no region named

Availability still unclear

The security page says Enterprise data is processed on separate infrastructure but names no locations or regions. The FAQ also names no storage location.

Region covered: EU/EEA

Documented reason: The sources name no region.

Official source: https://v0.app/docs/security
Official source: https://v0.app/docs/faqs

### GDPR statement without details

Availability still unclear

The security page speaks of full compliance with European data protection regulations but names neither contract nor transfer mechanism. On training: Enterprise can opt out, Business has opt-out by default per the pricing page; the FAQ says v0 may use prompts and content as inputs to models, except for Enterprise and anyone who opted out in Vercel settings.

Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: No country release can be derived from this.

## Accounts & permissions

Based on provider documentation. Permissions depend on the account, integration and organization policies. Review the permissions actually requested before use.

Configuration covered: Hosted account tied to teams and Vercel
Sources reviewed: 2026-11-05

### Account used

Documented with conditions: Chats belong to a personal or team scope. On Enterprise, admins can provision roles from an identity provider through Directory Sync and Access Groups; the pricing page lists SAML SSO for Enterprise. The account page names no sign-in methods.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/enterprise
Evidence: https://v0.app/pricing
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/account

### Admin approval

Documented: Three terminal modes determine what v0 runs without asking, supplemented by allow, ask and deny rules at user and team level. MCP integrations default to Ask for Approval. Team deployment policies can block deployments from v0.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/terminal-commands
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/MCP
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/deployments

### Data access & team sharing

Documented: The sandbox is an isolated VM. v0 writes to a working branch rather than directly to the base branch, and GitHub protections apply. According to the page, enabling remote MCP for an integration can give v0 tools that read or change external data. On Plus plans, team members by default need access to the GitHub repository to collaborate on its chat and generate previews; the Allow v0 to Act on Behalf of Members setting lifts this for members without a GitHub connection.

## Prices and included usage

Pricing checked: 2026-11-05

Free $0 with 7 messages a day, Plus $30 and Business $100 per user a month, Enterprise by arrangement. Usage runs on credits.

### Free

0 US dollars

v0, deployment on Vercel, Design Mode and GitHub sync; 7 messages a day.

Price source: https://v0.app/pricing

### Plus

$30 per user a month

$30 of included monthly credits per user, all models, centralised billing on vercel.com and team sharing; extra credits can be purchased.

Price source: https://v0.app/pricing

$100 per user a month

As Plus, with training opt-out by default.

Price source: https://v0.app/pricing

### Enterprise

Custom (contact us)

Builds on Business with SAML SSO, role-based access control, priority access and guaranteed support SLAs; the page states your data is never used for training.

Price source: https://v0.app/pricing

The pricing page also lists $2 of free daily credits on login for Plus and Business; the pricing documentation mentions no daily credits. Both statements stand side by side.

The documentation names a Premium plan at $20 a month that is being sunsetted and closed to new users; the pricing page does not list it.

According to the documentation, unused monthly credits roll over and expire after 65 days. Purchased credits expire one year after purchase.

## Operation & oversight

Based on public provider documentation. Assessments are editorial inferences from the stated properties. Actual time requirements and reliability have not been measured.

Deployment covered: Hosted operation in the browser with a sandbox
Sources reviewed: 2026-11-05

### Files and working state

Documented: The sandbox filesystem persists for the same chat, but a sandbox runs at most 24 hours; an expired one is recreated. With a connected GitHub repository, that repository is the source of truth for the code.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/sandbox
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/github

### Sign-ins

Documented with conditions: According to the pricing page, Enterprise offers SAML SSO. If you use a ChatGPT subscription, v0 pauses at the ChatGPT limit. How long sign-ins stay valid was not established in this review.

Evidence: https://v0.app/pricing
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/pricing

### Starting further runs

Documented: With auto-continue, v0 progresses through multi-step tasks on its own, each step is visible in chat, and you can stop at any time. The agentic features page describes no schedules or detached runs.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/agentic-features

### Human intervention

Documented: In Ask mode v0 asks for commands marked ask or matching no rule, and blocks denied ones. Auto runs allowed commands without asking and decides itself whether to ask for unmatched ones. Full skips rule evaluation. Publish is an explicit step, and GitHub protections can block merging until reviews are completed.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/terminal-commands
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/deployments
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/github

### Detecting errors

Documented: v0 detects errors in your project and can diagnose and fix them automatically. When a deployment has errors or warnings, Fix with v0 appears and sends the logs to v0. When credits are used up, generation pauses.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/agentic-features
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/pricing

### Resuming after failures

Documented: You ask v0 to revert the change or restore an earlier chat version, then publish again. Rollbacks and redeployments are available in the Vercel project. You restore archived chats for 30 days.

Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/deployments
Evidence: https://v0.app/docs/account

### Editorial assessment

v0 works in the chat under your supervision, with graded controls for permissions, deployments and pull requests. Scheduled runs are not described, and the reviewed pages show no persistent memory.

## Memory and conversation continuity

Scope: Chat history, sandbox filesystem and GitHub repository
Sources accessed: 2026-11-05

The agent recalls within a chat; the reviewed pages describe no persistent memory.

### Storage and scope

Documented: Every chat belongs to a project. The sandbox filesystem persists between sessions for the same chat. Once a GitHub repository is connected, it becomes the source of truth for the code. You see your chat history at v0.app/chats.

- [v0: Sandbox](https://v0.app/docs/sandbox)
- [v0: GitHub](https://v0.app/docs/github)
- [v0: FAQs](https://v0.app/docs/faqs)

### Selection and timing

Partly documented: According to the agentic features page, v0 remembers previous actions and results throughout the conversation. No mechanism that selects content for lasting storage is described on the reviewed pages.

- [v0: Projects](https://v0.app/docs/projects)
- [v0: FAQs](https://v0.app/docs/faqs)

### Inspect, edit and delete

Partly documented: Archived chats stay restorable for 30 days and are then permanently deleted. The FAQ describes no self-serve deletion; you ask Vercel by contacting them, and models already trained are not updated. You can download your prompts and content through your account.

- [v0: Account](https://v0.app/docs/account)
- [v0: FAQs](https://v0.app/docs/faqs)

### Agent and channel boundaries

Documented: Files, environment variables and running processes never cross from one chat to another; state carries over only by fork or import. Project settings apply to all chats in the project. Chats can be moved between personal and team scope, and on Enterprise owners can disable link sharing.

- [v0: Projects](https://v0.app/docs/projects)
- [v0: Account](https://v0.app/docs/account)
- [v0: Enterprise](https://v0.app/docs/enterprise)

### Retrieval

Partly documented: Chat history counts as input tokens. Web search and MCP tools fetch external information during generation. The reviewed pages describe no search across earlier chats for automatic retrieval.

- [v0: Pricing](https://v0.app/docs/pricing)
- [v0: Agentic features](https://v0.app/docs/agentic-features)
- [v0: MCP](https://v0.app/docs/MCP)

### Session reset and compaction

Partly documented: Starting a new VM-backed chat creates a new sandbox. The projects and FAQ pages do not describe context compaction; the sandbox page names no manual reset of the sandbox.

- [v0: Sandbox](https://v0.app/docs/sandbox)
- [v0: Projects](https://v0.app/docs/projects)
- [v0: FAQs](https://v0.app/docs/faqs)

## Context

An account and credits. Deploying requires a role with deploy permission on the Vercel project. In Full Permissions mode v0 no longer evaluates terminal rules.

v0 home page, pricing pages, documentation and security page reviewed. Pricing and documentation differ on daily allowances (see notes). Example tasks are editorial; hands-on tests are still pending.

## Open points
