V0 vs vercel weirdness

So i love using v0, no doubt about it.

But when v0 tells me i can upgrade my personal account to a team account where in fact it doesn’t upgrade it just adds a “new” user which is suppose to be the team. So you end up with double the cost, when you add a member they can only view? what’s the purpose of upgrading to team if the “team” can only view inside the team project. So it looks like v0 is seperated from vercel, but actually it isn’t, cause when wanting to change/setup the team on v0 you HAVE to go to vercel and pay another amount to have team members actually participate in the work.

I might be understanding this wrong, but from a fairly new user with not allot of experience this whole system makes 0 sense to me. You get promised a simple thing, which should work as intended. But it doesn’t.

Also my personal account has gpt5 access but my team hasn’t? (at least it doesn’t show any model type). And when i move the project from personal to team i lose this ability.

I probably cancel unless anyone can clear things up overe here.

This interaction between v0 and Vercel is something we've been looking at internally so your feedback is appreciated

Teams vs Premium

In v0, teams are like orgs, so creating a team is separate from the tier your personal account is on, and all chats created within that team belong to it and are billed to it.

I recommend you downgrade your personal account back to a hobby plan so you don't have the $20/m charge anymore, and then you and your colleague can create new chats in your Team

For example we have a Team for Vercel, but I keep my personal projects separate so I still have my own Premium sub. If I didn't want that, I could downgrade to Hobby (bringing my own cost to $0) and still participate in the Vercel team.

You do not need to have a separate Vercel subscription in order to use v0, however if your deployed app starts hitting the (generous) free tier limits or if you also want to code outside of v0 in private organizations, then a Vercel sub might be required.

Chat permissions

Chats are private by default and only editable by the person who created it. You can share it to the other people on your team like this if you want to give them Edit access. We've tried other approaches in the past but Edit by default led to users editing each other's chats by mistake too often, though we're open to feedback here

Agent mode

The GPT-5 feature in the model picker was temporary, and poor timing on our part to launch it that way right before launching v0 Agent Mode. The new Agent mode does model selection automatically and will use GPT-5 under the hood for prompts where it scores best on our evals for highest quality output (usually planning and Q&A) but switches to our composite models for code output.

It surprises me a bit that your personal account still has the model picker but the team doesn't, as as far as I know that was fully rolled out, but if that's not the case I can investigate for you

Also relevant here: you can set your default team and transfer personal projects to your new team before shutting off your premium account at v0.app/chat/settings

Although this week we're giving out free credits each day (which is $60 for teams, $20 for premium, $5 for free) so it's a good time to capitalize on that while you have the extra accounts

Thank you so much Jacob, you did a great job clearing things up.

But from a “new user” perspective it’s really not that obvious. The Vercel part i can understand that that’s a separate way of “building” but i would rather see this from a new user perspective somehow being better integrated, since i can still see confusion (like v0 linking/directing teams management to Vercel) as why not have everything all combined? An all in package that let’s you start coding but also makes sure you can eventually export (publish) everything. I don’t see why this would be a “separate“ thing at all…

Also i’m not 100% sure but when i wanted to go “teams” I’m pretty sure it said something like “upgrade to teams” which makes this even more confusing in the end. I get that you guy’s like this separation between personal and business, but how about just small teams/friends, it seems like this isn’t marketed towards those individuals at all.. especially the paying for 2 side’s but somehow it’s all connected part.

Anyways thanks for clearing this out, i do recommend you guys to look at this and make it more coherent. Other than that it works great!

Yes i figured that transfer function out myself, it’s a great future. Although i would love a copy version instead of permanent move i can understand this might be the better way of doing things.

Actually also sent feedback on how Version work, instead of V1 - V12 it would be great to have V1.2 sub versions that can be used as “drafts” before actually merging it to a final version that you would send out for publishing.

Cause often i start an idea and when i finally figure out it isn’t going to work im 20 versions ahead of the original one that was fine and worked 🙂 I guess it’s more of a QOL function but it would be nice seeing it.
