Why Switch from v0?

Full-Stack Generation

v0 generates React components but not backends, databases, or APIs. Fabricate generates the complete application stack from a single prompt.

Integrated Infrastructure

No need to manually connect Supabase, set up authentication, or configure payment processing. Fabricate includes D1 database, Clerk auth, and Stripe payments.

One-Click Deployment

v0 components need to be copied into a project and deployed manually. Fabricate deploys your entire application to Cloudflare's edge network automatically.

Predictable Pricing

v0 uses credit-based pricing. Fabricate offers flat-rate plans so you always know what you'll pay.

Step-by-Step Migration

Export Your v0 Design References

Screenshot or save your favorite v0-generated components. You'll use these as visual references when prompting Fabricate.

Describe Your Complete Application

Instead of generating individual components, describe your entire application. Include the features, user flows, and design preferences from your v0 work.

Reference your v0 designs: "Similar to a modern dashboard with sidebar navigation"
Specify full-stack needs: "Include user authentication and a PostgreSQL-equivalent database"
Mention specific UI patterns you liked from v0

Review and Iterate

Fabricate generates a complete application with preview. Test the functionality, then use follow-up prompts to refine the design and features.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Trying to import v0 component code directly

Fabricate generates its own optimized components. Describe what you want instead of pasting v0 code. Use v0 output as a visual reference, not a code starting point.

Requesting only frontend features

Fabricate's strength is full-stack generation. Include your backend needs (database, auth, APIs) in your prompt to get the most value.

Expecting identical Vercel/Next.js output

Fabricate uses React + Cloudflare Workers instead of Next.js + Vercel. The UI will be similar, but the architecture differs. This is a feature -- you get edge deployment globally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import my v0 components into Fabricate?

Rather than importing v0 component code, describe the complete application you want to build in Fabricate. Reference your v0 designs as visual inspiration in your prompt. Fabricate generates optimized full-stack code rather than individual components.

Does Fabricate use shadcn/ui like v0?

Fabricate uses TailwindCSS for styling and generates custom components. The visual quality is comparable, and you can request specific design patterns in your prompts.

Is Fabricate locked to Cloudflare like v0 is to Vercel?

Fabricate deploys to Cloudflare by default, but you can export your complete source code and deploy anywhere. You own your code entirely.

How does pricing compare?

v0 uses credit-based pricing where costs vary by usage. Fabricate offers a free tier (60 credits) and flat-rate Pro plan ($25/month) with predictable billing.
