Which one should you pick?
v0 is a sniper rifle: it produces gorgeous, idiomatic Next.js code that often needs zero cleanup. But it expects you to know what Next.js is, what shadcn/ui is, and to bring your own opinions about deployment and infra. Lovable is a Swiss Army knife: it gives you a full app — frontend, backend, auth, payments — and you trade some code quality for a much wider 'first-prompt-to-production' span.
Where they overlap (a marketing site, a small SaaS dashboard), v0 wins on output quality and Lovable wins on integration breadth.
