v0 vs Lovable for UI

Two chat-first generators: one optimizes React/Next components for Vercel; the other, an app with Supabase, auth and Git from the first prompt.

Best forReact/Next UI, shadcn and deploy on VercelApp with auth, Supabase and publish-from-chat
Core stackReact, Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn (v0.app)React, Tailwind, Supabase, builder hosting
Backend and dataYou wire API/DB in your repo; v0 does not bundle SupabaseSupabase integrated in the flow (auth, tables per UI)
Git and handoffCopy code or Vercel project; ideal if you already have a repoGitHub sync highlighted; clone and open in Cursor next
IterationChat on components and pages with web previewChat on screens + logic + data in one session
Curve if you are not a developerMedium: you paste code or understand Vercel deployLower for «I have an app with login» without a terminal at first
Main riskPretty UI with state or fetch unreviewed in productionRLS, secrets and debt if you never leave the builder
Entry planFree with credits + paid tiers on v0.appFree with limits + paid tiers on lovable.dev

Verdict

Pick v0 when the deliverable is React + Tailwind/shadcn UI that will live in a Next repo on Vercel — landings, dashboards, forms and blocks you copy or deploy without standing up a backend from scratch. Pick Lovable when you want a shippable full-stack MVP: login, Supabase tables, preview iteration and GitHub sync so a developer continues in Cursor. A common combo: product prototype with data in Lovable; marketing or admin screens refined in v0 and merged into the same repo after sync.
