Lovable vs v0 by Vercel: which should you use?
Lovable costs $25/mo and v0 by Vercel $20/mo. Lovable does not build native mobile apps; v0 by Vercel does not. Lovable is best for web apps, dashboards and SaaS front ends. v0 by Vercel is best for frontend and UI work inside the Vercel ecosystem.
The deciding difference
Both are web tools at a similar price, so the split is what they produce. Lovable outputs React web app; v0 by Vercel outputs Next.js / React UI. Pick on which stack you want to live in afterwards, and on where you intend to host — that decision outlives the $5 a month between them. Neither builds a mobile app.
