The honest brief
Magic Patterns
Generates prototypes inside your own design system — imported from Figma, Storybook, or any site — instead of generic AI mockups.
- Prototypes you can test and hand off
- Figma and Storybook component import
- Free tier to start
- Built for team collaboration
- Business tier jumps to $100/seat/month
- Web-only, no desktop app
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
When to pick which
Both cover Code generation, AI app builder, and UI design / design-to-code.
Pick v0 if you need App / agent deployment.
- App / agent deployment (secondary capability)
v0 leans on AI app builder as a headline capability; Magic Patterns treats it as secondary.
