Figma Make vs v0

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Entry price
Figma Make from $16/seat/mo, v0 from $30/mo — different billing units, so no direct winner
Free plan
Both have one
Public API
v0 has one; not confirmed by us for Figma Make
Best fit
Figma Make: Product designers turning existing Figma frames into interactive prototypes with real data · v0: Founders and PMs producing working MVPs and internal tools from prompts
Platforms
Figma Make: Web, macOS, Windows · v0: Web

What our research says

Figma Make

If your team already designs in Figma, Make is the shortest path from a frame to something clickable with real data, and the generated prototype keeps the file's styles instead of reinventing them. It is not a replacement for Lovable or Bolt when the goal is a deployable product: hosting and a production path are still arriving, and the credit meter is shared with every other AI feature on the seat. Designers validating flows will get the most out of it; engineers wanting a repo to ship will wait for local-codebase mode.

Pros

  • Starts from your own frames and design tokens, so output matches the design file
  • Code is exposed and editable, and the result can be copied back to the canvas
  • Attachments, voice prompts, MCP connectors and a Payload CMS come built in
  • No separate subscription - it rides on a Full seat you may already pay for

Cons

  • AI credits are shared across all of Figma's AI features on the seat, so heavy Make use eats the monthly pool
  • Local-codebase and production shipping are 'coming soon', not here
  • Requires the $16 Full seat; cheaper Dev and Collab seats are not listed as including it
  • Pricing page does not state Make access or limits for the free Starter plan

v0

The strongest choice when the target stack is Next.js on Vercel, since generation, preview and deployment live in one loop and the Platform API lets you embed the whole builder. Costs are credit-metered per token, so long agentic sessions eat the included allowance fast, and output is opinionated toward Vercel's stack.

Pros

  • Generates deployable full-stack code, not static mockups
  • Free tier plus daily login credits support light ongoing use
  • Documented Platform API and SDK for programmatic generation
  • Design Mode and screenshot-to-UI shortcuts help non-coders

Cons

  • Credit consumption is hard to predict on bigger builds
  • Training opt-out is default only on Business and Enterprise tiers
  • Output leans on Vercel deployment and ecosystem conventions

Which one fits

Choose Figma Make if you need

  • Product designers turning existing Figma frames into interactive prototypes with real data
  • Teams that want generated UI to inherit their design system through Make kits
  • Stakeholder demos where a clickable build beats a static mock

Choose v0 if you need

  • Founders and PMs producing working MVPs and internal tools from prompts
  • Frontend engineers scaffolding shadcn/Tailwind components
  • Developers embedding text-to-app generation via the Platform API
