Google Stitch 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. v0 publishes a starting price ($30); Google Stitch does not. Both have a free tier. Only v0 ships a public API.

What our research says

Google Stitch

Hard to argue with free: Stitch produces usable first-draft UI screens and working frontend code with a straight path into Figma. It remains a Labs experiment - quotas, no support guarantees, and the standalone Galileo AI product it grew from was already shut down once.

Pros

  • Free, with a real Figma handoff path
  • Multimodal input: text, sketches and screenshots
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro backs the higher-quality mode
  • No install - runs on a Google account in the browser

Cons

  • Monthly generation caps per mode
  • Experiment status means features and limits can change without notice
  • No API for automation

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 Google Stitch if you need

  • Rapid UI concept exploration before committing design time
  • Developers who want plausible frontend scaffolding from a text spec
  • Designers pulling AI drafts into Figma for refinement

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
