v0 Pricing (2026): Plans, Limits and Real Costs
v0 (Agentdex profile) is Vercel's AI agent for building web apps. Its pricing has two parts: a plan (Free, Plus, Business or Enterprise) and credits, which are spent per message based on the model you pick and how many tokens each request uses. This guide explains every plan, what credits actually buy and how to keep costs predictable, using v0's official pricing page and docs as of October 24, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Free costs $0 and gives new users a one-time $5 in credits, with a limit of 7 messages a day.
- Plus costs $30 per user per month, with $30 of monthly credits per user plus $2 of free daily credits when you log in.
- Business costs $100 per user per month. It has the same credits as Plus and opts your data out of training by default.
- Enterprise is custom priced, with SAML SSO, role-based access, priority access and support SLAs.
- Usage is billed per million tokens, from $0.20 input / $1.20 output on v0 Mini to $10 / $50 on v0 Max Fast.
- v0 is billed separately from Vercel hosting: a Vercel Pro plan does not include v0.
v0 plans at a glance
Plan | Price (Oct 2026) | Credits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | $5 one-time for new users; 7 messages a day | Trying v0 |
Plus | $30/user/month | $30 monthly per user, plus $2 daily on login | Solo builders and small teams |
Business | $100/user/month | Same as Plus | Teams that need training opt-out by default |
Enterprise | Custom | Custom | SSO, RBAC and SLAs |
All prices are in US dollars and exclude VAT or GST. Check the official v0 pricing page before you buy, because v0 has changed its plans several times.
Free plan
The Free plan includes Design Mode, GitHub sync and deployment to Vercel. New users get a one-time $5 in credits, and free accounts are limited to 7 messages a day. Users who were already on Free before the change keep a $5 monthly allowance. That is enough to try v0 on a landing page or a small prototype, but not to build a full app.
You can't buy extra credits on Free. When the credits run out, generation pauses until you upgrade.
Plus plan ($30 per user per month)
Plus is the main paid plan. It includes:
- Access to all v0 models
- $30 of included credits per user each month
- $2 of free credits each day you log in
- The option to buy more credits, shared across the team
- Shared chats, shared projects and a shared credit pool
- Centralized billing on vercel.com and team-wide usage analytics
Plus is the right plan for most indie hackers. A solo builder pays $30 a month and gets $30 of usage plus the daily login credits.
Business plan ($100 per user per month)
Business has the same credits and team features as Plus. The main difference is data: on Business, your data is opted out of model training by default. Pay for it if you build client or company work you don't want used for training. Otherwise, Plus gives you the same usage for less.
Enterprise
Enterprise is custom priced. It adds a guarantee that your data is never used for training, SAML SSO, role-based access control, priority access with no queues and guaranteed support SLAs. Contact Vercel sales for a quote.
What about Premium, Team and Ultra?
You may see older plan names in other articles. According to v0's docs, Premium ($20/month) is being sunset and is no longer available to new users. Existing Premium subscribers can keep it for now and can buy more credits. Ultra has been sunset, and Ultra users were moved to Premium with a $200 credit. If an article quotes a $20 Premium plan as the main option, it is out of date.
How v0 credits work
Every message uses credits based on the tokens processed. Input tokens include your prompt plus context such as chat history, source files and Vercel's own knowledge, so long chats in big projects cost more per message than short ones. Here are the official rates per million tokens:
Model | Input | Cache write | Cache read | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
v0 Mini | $0.20 | $0.25 | $0.02 | $1.20 |
v0 Pro | $2 | $2.50 | $0.20 | $10 |
v0 Max | $5 | $6.25 | $0.50 | $25 |
v0 Max Fast | $10 | $12.50 | $1 | $50 |
v0 Max Fast gives about 2.5x faster output than v0 Max at double the price. Cache reads are a tenth of the input price, which is why continuing an existing chat is cheaper than you might expect.
Rollover and expiry
- Unused monthly credits roll over to the next billing cycle and expire 65 days after they were granted.
- Purchased credits expire one year after purchase and need an active paid plan to use.
- On team plans, the shared pool is used after each member's individual monthly credits run out.
Using your ChatGPT subscription
You can connect a ChatGPT Plus or Pro account so it covers eligible OpenAI model responses in v0. A small v0 credit platform fee still applies to each request. If you reach your ChatGPT limit, v0 pauses instead of switching to your v0 credits.
v0 pricing vs Vercel hosting
v0 and Vercel hosting are billed separately. Vercel's Hobby and Pro plans do not include v0, so a team on Vercel Pro at $20/month that adds v0 Plus pays for both. If you only deploy small prototypes, Vercel's free Hobby plan plus v0 Plus may be enough.
How to estimate your monthly v0 cost
v0 does not publish a cost per app, and the real cost depends on your prompts, model and project size, so treat any fixed "an app costs $X" claim with suspicion. A practical approach:
- Start on Free or one month of Plus and build one real feature.
- Check the usage dashboard to see the cost per message on the models you used.
- Multiply by the number of messages you send in a typical week.
- Decide whether $30 of monthly credits plus daily login credits covers it, or whether you need to buy more.
How to keep v0 costs down
- Pick the model per task. Use v0 Mini for copy changes and small UI tweaks, and save v0 Max for complex features.
- Start new chats for new features. Long chat history counts as input tokens on every message.
- Write specific prompts. Name the component, the file and the expected behavior to avoid paying for retries.
- Use Design Mode for visual tweaks instead of prompting for every spacing or color change.
- Log in daily on Plus to collect the $2 daily credits.
Billing rules worth knowing
- v0 generally does not offer refunds.
- PayPal is not accepted.
- v0 does not offer student, nonprofit or regional discounts.
- Prices exclude VAT and GST, which are added at checkout where they apply.
Is v0 worth the price?
v0 is worth it if you build in Next.js and React and deploy on Vercel. It writes production-style code, works in a real Node.js sandbox, syncs with GitHub through pull requests and connects to databases such as Supabase and Neon. The trade-off is usage-based billing: heavy sessions on v0 Max can use $30 of credits quickly. If you want a more full-stack, non-technical experience with a built-in backend, compare Lovable's pricing and Bolt. For more detail on the product itself, read What is v0?
