The honest brief

Onlook

Edits your real Next.js + Tailwind code visually on an infinite canvas, keeping the codebase as the source of truth instead of exporting throwaway markup.

  • Free to self-host
  • Edits real code, not exports
  • AI assistance for larger changes
  • Works with Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn
  • Hosted cloud pricing not public
  • Scoped to the React/Next.js stack
  • Young project (YC W25)

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
