v0 has a new usage-based pricing model:
For existing users, you will transition to the new pricing structure at the start of your next billing period. The plan prices remain unchanged at $20 for Premium and $30/seat for Team.

The fact that billing has evolved from message based to input/out token based seems legitimately a cost saving approach on your side.
But this will be the reason i quit paying for v0, as other solutions were on the same billing and just were not able to sustain neither the load, neither the correct code generation given this method.
I payed for v0 after long usage to get the best out of the many messages per day included, and given the heavy usage i have, it wwill simply not be intersting enough compared to other solutions like bolt.new, a0.dev, tempo.ai or copilot at this point. The fact that the billing evolves all of a sudden without the possibility to cancel automatically an the fact that there are no transition period is a big problem to me.
I simply can not get to develop any app of actual ability within the basic pro offer vbase on token billing, same for bolt.new and such because there are bugs in token interpretation, because sometimes preview is blocked, because sometimes error do not get well corrected because of the way the error stack is given as context to v0 when clicking āfix with v0ā since messaging my own message uually works betetr for error fixing.
Refactoring an app once features are ready will simply demand too much context and enormous billing.
Since v0 also has problems like a lot of llm to reuse existing contextual component when an app gets large, it becomes less useful and more expensive as the project draws near its completion in the case of token billing, when message billing just takes more time but eventually may deliver still.
All in all, this is the move that makes v0 so much less interesting than the competitors, since i am also stuck with nextjs and its boilerplate with v0, cannot use vite and other frameworks or just other ways of using javascript, the billing now is less advantageous and the vercel integration is already there in many competitors.
Yeah I am just flabbergasted. This is very bad and truly blows my entire ideas for projects away.
True, I feel this change will have really negativ and anoying impact
With this token limit, v0.dev is no different from other providers. Given the AIās margin for error, these tokens will not last long.
Our account was recharged today, and all of our $20 credit vanished within a few hours. This is a major setback and makes v0 unusable. Please restore the service to its previous state immediately. We cannot continue our work in this format and are now considering alternatives to v0.
How can you change your pricing model so suddenly when active businesses depend on your service?
Our account was just billed today, and this is what weāre seeing
we would like urgent attention to the matter this is a severe case
it looks like the credits werenāt even given to our account
very negative way of pricing , 80% of the time v0 is stuck in a code writing loop which will waste tokens non stop the other 10% it stops writing the message randomly this is also wasting tokens this pricing approach benefit your company but hurt the end user what u had before was a much better model switching to this pricing model will leave your users no choice but to search for alternatives this is not the right way forward
If you are doing to charge for tokens now you should use a similar method to them instead of monthly fees each moth we should just prepay for a tokens and ahot update when needed ā¦.
My biggest problem with this change is that Iāve gotten very good at making v0 work and get a job done but it can take 20 straight up complete failures in a row where it doesnāt even try to fix my issue and just rewrites a bunch of random content
I have to say, as one of your biggest fans I think this is a huge mistake at a time when google canvas can kind of can compete , chef/convex can compete , Replit finally is decent does full backend , bolt.newā¦ so many. and deepsite is free.
Iāll still use yall but you need to do prepaid token model not monthly plans
I get yal doo the rolllover and stuff but this is still a painful pricing plan
my need to poc which is all v0 is even close to capable of (itās 0.01% to the point of being capable of making a production app)ā¦ being a key awesome poc product means Iād be fine when I need to ideate āoh I sent 10,000 tokens oh wellā - over āover Iāve had this for $20 a mo th havenāt used it in yearsā
if thatās what itās gonna take to keep yall afloat though. ā¦ it is what it is
agreed!
Why should i pay monthly for US$20, which is based on token credits, and there is no potential roll-over?
Need more viable and fair pricing scheme.
There is a roll over but it expires.
With open router is sent them $500 a year ago ands no issue it just whittles down and down and I donāt think
But I donāt use it nearly every month!
I had 18 $20 a month ai plans at one point I cancelled them all over last few months as I was trying them allā¦ itās not gonna work as a plan to just charge everyone monthly
Charge for tokens as your product is used
Therefore your paid when your product is worth usingā¦
Bottom line!
Now since I felt like it was unlimited so I used v0 so so so much ā¦ it was one I never planned to cancelā¦ I even had their $200 a month plan ā¦
Just cancelled it though 
So sad
I beg you guys to revert it. I honestly donāt want to say goodbye to coding now. Iāve been working on a big application on V0 almost daily and have been making crazy good progress and already have been seeing how Iāll be deploying soon and many more that I will deploy or even sell etc.
This new pricing system makes it very difficult. After watching Guillermoās podcast on Lennyās Podcast about LumaLabs engineer using V0 natively I got excited with the same idea of using it as my native code editor and working environment. This new change takes away that whole hype and feeling of having to be creating products with ease. I live in a 3rd world country and donāt know how much of a role it plays to even say it, but this new pricing is going to suck me dry. I wonāt be able to afford this using it the same way I did this entire time. I have even wanted to introduce V0 to my wife and children to start using it and get used to making whatever they want.
Honestly, this shift to tokens feels like it punishes the people actually building. Before, I could test, tweak, and iterate freely, now I have to babysit a token meter like Iām mining crypto.
What really kills it though is that half the time, the AI writes something totally random or wrong. So now Iām burning through tokens just fixing its own mistakes and when it messes up multiple times in a row (which happens), my credits evaporate for nothing.
Itās frustrating because Iām not asking for crazy handouts. I just want the ability to explore and build without fearing Iām getting taxed for every prompt retry or slight adjustment.
This system turns experimentation into a luxury, and thatās a problem. We need a pricing model that respects the creative process, not one that punishes normal use.
I love v0, but this token system aināt it. Hope the team rethinks or at least gives more breathing room.
First, Discord server shut down and removed. Ok, fine.
Now, this out of the blue. Do you guys have new management or something? Not a fan.
As others have said, the fact v0 often rewrites entire files without asking, or gets stuck in loops trying to fix bugs, make this new billing model likely a failure for me and many. Happens to me a lot, personally.
It would also be good if those of us on plans could see our usage for existing chats, to gauge/estimate costs and make a decision. We cannot see any usage on our billing page unless we switch over firstā¦not that itāll matter I suppose when deadline comes, but I intend to enjoy my last days of my subscription until then before saying goodbye.
I also echo others sentiment, if you are going per-usage, then go full PAYG. Mixing subscriptions with tokens is just a bad business move, as many companies have proven in every industry from dating to ecommerce over past decades.
āburning through tokens just fixing its own mistakesā. I felt this. What hurts even more is that even after burning like $2 or more credits on trying to fix an issue, you then rollback to a previous working version and goodbye to the credits you used for nothing. I canāt stress this enough, even worried about getting banned for posting so much of how bad this is and how badly its impacting my life and goals.
Does the premium (non-team) account have any advantages over free, besides pre-paid tokens?
Edit: I read the pricing page. Feels a bit weird to have minimum pricing gate-keeping features AND usage based pricing at the same time.
Also seems to be the end of using my company v0 account for private projects. On a flat price it doesnāt make a difference, now the company pays for my private projects 
I donāt have many subscriptions, due to the current state of my countryās economy its not affordable at all. Believe it or not, the only services I currently subscribe to are ChatGPT, my mobile plan, and v0. Because of this change in pricing structure, Iāll unfortunately have to stop using the paid version of v0 and rely on the free tier & other tools instead. I only subscribe to tools I actively use, but this new pricing feels like itās punishing users for actually engaging with the product.
Same here! Iāve been encouraging even less technical people to start using it, just because of how much I love V0. I hope this is not the end of the road.
