The honest brief
Firebase Studio
Free and fully browser-based with no local setup, tying a real Code OSS editor straight into Gemini agents and the Firebase deploy stack.
- Runs fully in the browser, no setup
- Gemini agents and Genkit built in
- One-click deploy to Firebase
- Free core tier
- Prototype apps from a prompt
- Still in preview
- Tied to the Google/Firebase ecosystem
- Gemini-only assistant
- Workspace limits on the free tier
v0
Emits real shadcn/ui + Tailwind React code you can paste into a project — production primitives, not throwaway mockup markup.
- Uses production shadcn/ui primitives
- Copy-paste into existing projects
- Tight Vercel deploy integration
- Fast iteration in v0 projects
- Opinionated toward shadcn/Tailwind
- Single tuned model, not configurable
- Best within the Vercel ecosystem
- Complex apps need hand-finishing
