Can you use v0 output commercially, and on which plan?

Yes. Vercel's AI Product Terms, last updated March 17, 2026, say “As between you and Vercel, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own Customer Content and Vercel assigns to you Vercel's rights, if any, in the Output,” and they set no plan condition on it, so the same holds on v0 Free. v0's FAQ says it in fewer words: “Vercel doesn't own the code generated based on your queries and prompts.” Where the plan matters is the site. v0 publishes to Vercel, and on a Vercel Hobby team the fair use guidelines say “Hobby teams are restricted to non-commercial personal use only.” A business site from v0 needs a Vercel Pro team, $20 a month, or another host whose plan allows business use.

Vercel's terms and v0's docs were read on October 29, 2026: the AI Product Terms (last updated March 17, 2026; effective March 31, 2026), the Terms of Service (last updated October 19, 2026), the Acceptable Use Policy (last updated April 21, 2026), the fair use guidelines (last updated September 14, 2026), the v0 pricing page, and the v0 docs on pricing, Vercel, and deployments. This page covers who owns what v0 makes, what each plan changes, 12 cases, and how 3 other builders compare. What Hobby counts as commercial is on Can you use Vercel's Hobby plan for a commercial site? Terms change, so check them before you launch.

What Vercel's terms say about v0 output

v0 is one of Vercel's “AI Products and Services,” so its rules are the AI Product Terms, which “form part of” Vercel's Terms of Service and win where the two conflict.

• Output is yours. The terms define Output as “the data, content, and other information (including source code, text, or images) that you receive from the AI Products and Services based on your Input.” You own it, and Vercel assigns you “Vercel's rights, if any, in the Output.” You can keep using it after you stop using v0: “you may continue to use Output following termination.”
• Business use of v0 itself. The license to v0 is “solely for Customer's personal or internal business use purposes.” It names no plan.
• The commercial call is yours. The terms say “You will need to make your own determination regarding the intellectual property rights you have in Output and its commercial usability.” The FAQ says the same under “Can I use output from v0 for commercial uses?”: you are responsible for “making your own determination about its suitability for commercial or other purposes.”
• Review before you ship. You agree “to evaluate Output for correctness and appropriateness for your use case, including human review as legally required and/or as appropriate, before using or sharing Output.” Vercel gives no warranty on Output, and “Vercel does not provide any indemnity to you for Customer Content.”
• No sensitive data in prompts. “You must not include any sensitive personal information (such as health information, financial account numbers or information, or government-issued identifiers) in your Input.”

Who owns what v0 makes

You own the code and other output, as between you and Vercel. Three limits come with it.

• Others may get the same code. “Due to the nature of the AI Products and Services, the Output may not be unique, and the AI Products and Services may provide the same or similar Output to other users. Our assignment above does not extend to other users' Output or third party's rights.” The FAQ adds that output “may be the same or similar to other users' output or third party's IP.”
• Vercel keeps a license, and on Hobby it trains on it. You grant Vercel a license to use your prompts and output “to provide the AI Products and Services,” among other purposes. On a Hobby or Pro plan they become “Your Content” under section 3 of the Terms of Service, where “if you are on a Hobby plan or trial Pro plan, you agree that we may use Your Content to train our artificial intelligence (‘AI’) and machine learning models.”
• What you post publicly can be copied. “Customer Content that you post publicly, including Output, chats, community templates, or code, may be viewed and copied by others.”

The tools themselves stay Vercel's: “All rights, title and interest in and to the AI Products and Services … will at all times remain the property of Vercel or its licensors.”

Which plan you need: v0's plan and Vercel's plan

A v0 project runs on 2 plans at once. The v0 plan pays for the AI: messages and credits. The Vercel plan of the team the project lives in governs the site you publish. v0's Vercel docs treat them as separate, with the example “if you are on v0 Plus with a Vercel Hobby plan,” and answer “Do I need Vercel Pro to use v0?” with “No, Vercel Pro does not provide any additional v0 features.”

v0's Premium plan, $20 a month, “is in the process of being sunsetted and is no longer available to new users,” per the pricing docs. Existing Free users keep a $5 monthly allowance; new users get $5 once. “When credits are used up, generation pauses,” and only Premium, Plus, and Business can buy more.

Case by case

The table applies Vercel's terms and v0's docs to what people ask about. A row reads Yes where the terms allow it, No where a rule bars it, and “v0 doesn't say” where neither the terms nor the docs settle it. Vercel has the final say on your case.

v0 and 3 other builders on ownership and business use

All 4 put the review of AI-made output on you, and v0 and Bolt both say their assignment covers only the rights they hold.

Convika for a v0 landing page

Convika hosts landing pages, one HTML page each, with a form that keeps entries and stats on who visited. Section 6 of its terms says “You retain ownership of all content you create and publish through the Service,” and gives Convika a license “to host, store, and deliver your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.” Section 7 allows commercial use on every plan, Free included: a page that sells or advertises a product or service, a startup or waitlist page, a portfolio that offers your services for hire, or a client's page you build, host, and bill the client for. It bars reselling Convika itself without permission.

A v0 project is a Next.js app, not one HTML file, so there are 2 ways to bring a landing page over:

• Rebuild it from the vercel.app link. The page must be public. Paste the link into the free rebuild tool and click Rebuild my page. No signup, email, or card is needed. You get a private preview in your page's colors and fonts, with a list of what changed and why. Click Keep this page to move it into a Free account, then Add a form to my page, then Publish page. Choose Public, click Next, and, the first time, click Publish free.
• Describe it to Convika's AI. Sign up free, click Create with AI, and describe the page, or paste a link to a page it should start from.

Free includes 1 published page, 1 custom subdomain such as www.yourbrand.com, 50 form entries a month with an email for each, and 90 days of visitor stats, with a small Convika bar at the bottom. Pro removes the bar and shows every form entry. Pro costs $12 a month.

Where v0 fits better: an app with sign-ins, a database, API routes, or several screens. Convika hosts one HTML page per site, the rebuild writes a new page from your page's text, colors, and fonts rather than copying it, and custom domains are subdomains such as www.

Which one to pick

• A Next.js app you'll run for a business: Build it in v0 on any plan and host it on a Vercel Pro team, from $20 a month.
• A personal project or a demo that sells nothing: v0 Free on a Vercel Hobby team is enough.
• A landing or waitlist page on your own domain with no monthly fee: Pick Convika's Free plan, with the form and visitor stats built in.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use v0 output commercially?

Yes. Vercel's AI Product Terms say you own your output and Vercel assigns you “Vercel's rights, if any, in the Output,” with no plan condition. They also leave the call to you: “You will need to make your own determination regarding the intellectual property rights you have in Output and its commercial usability.”

Does Vercel own the code v0 generates?

No. The v0 FAQ says “Vercel doesn't own the code generated based on your queries and prompts.” Vercel keeps a license to use your prompts and output to run and improve v0, and the v0 tools themselves stay Vercel's.

Can I use v0's free plan for a business?

Not clearly, on a Hobby team. The output is yours on Free, but building on a Hobby team is not settled: the AI Product Terms license v0 for “personal or internal business use,” while section 4 of Vercel's Terms of Service limits “the Services under a Hobby plan” to “personal or non-commercial use.” Publishing is clear: a business site on a Hobby team breaks Hobby's rule, “restricted to non-commercial personal use only.” Host it on a Vercel Pro team, from $20 a month, or export the code to a host whose plan allows business use.

Does a paid v0 plan let me host a commercial site on Vercel Hobby?

No. The v0 plan pays for messages and credits; the site follows the Vercel plan of its team. v0's docs give the example of “v0 Plus with a Vercel Hobby plan,” and say “Vercel Pro does not provide any additional v0 features.” Commercial hosting needs Vercel Pro or Enterprise.

How many credits does v0's free plan give, and what happens when they run out?

v0 Free gives new users $5 of credits once, with a limit of 7 messages a day. Free users from before the one-time offer keep a $5 monthly allowance. “When credits are used up, generation pauses,” and Free can't buy more: purchases are for Premium, Plus, and Business.

Can I move v0 code to another host?

Yes. The v0 FAQ says “You can still export code and deploy elsewhere,” and you can sync it to GitHub. The output stays yours after you stop using v0: “you may continue to use Output following termination.” v0 writes Next.js, so the new host must run it.

Does v0 use my prompts and code for training?

Yes, by default on Free and Plus. Vercel's Terms of Service say that on Hobby “we may use Your Content to train our artificial intelligence (‘AI’) and machine learning models,” and allow an opt-out in team settings. v0's plan table lists Data Opt-out only on Business and Enterprise, and its FAQ says customers who opted out in Vercel settings are not used. Check your team's data preferences.

Can another v0 user get the same code as me?

Yes. The AI Product Terms say “the AI Products and Services may provide the same or similar Output to other users,” and the assignment “does not extend to other users' Output or third party's rights.” Anything you post publicly from v0 “may be viewed and copied by others.”

Can I build client websites with v0?

Yes, if the client's site runs on a paid Vercel plan. The fair use guidelines count “Receiving payment to create, update, or host the site” as commercial, so a paid client site can't stay on Hobby. Building it from a Hobby team is not settled by the terms; a Pro team is the safe choice. The terms don't say how to hand the code v0 wrote to a client.

Is there a free way to put a v0 landing page on my own domain for a business?

Yes, with Convika's Free plan. Paste your public vercel.app link into Convika's free rebuild tool, with no signup, and get a private preview in your page's colors and fonts. Keep it, add a form, and connect 1 custom subdomain, such as www.yourbrand.com. Convika's terms allow commercial use on every plan, Free included.
