v0 Credits vs Vercel Hosting: Two Bills
This page covers the split between v0 generation credits and Vercel hosting. Current v0 plan prices stay on v0. The four-builder matrix is deployment limits. This is not a Vercel billing dashboard.
Direct answer
If v0 credits run out, is the Vercel deploy dead?
- v0 credits
- Fact Each v0 plan includes a monthly credit allowance. Generations draw from that balance. When credits are used up, generation pauses. Free also has a 7 message/day limit.
- Publishing
- Fact v0 Publish creates a production deployment on Vercel. v0 accounts are Vercel accounts. Vercel Pro is not required to use v0 and does not add v0 features.
- Separate hosting meter
- Fact Vercel hosting usage is not the v0 credit balance. Hobby plans pause when they exceed included free-tier usage. Pro users can configure Spend Management to pause deployments or notify at 100% usage.
- New-user paid path
- Fact The public pricing page currently sells Free, Plus ($30/user/month), Business ($100/user/month), and Enterprise. Docs still list Premium at $20, and say Premium is being sunsetted and is no longer available to new users.

Two bills
| Bill | What runs out | Official result |
|---|---|---|
| v0 generation credits | Input/output tokens converted to credits, plus Free’s daily message cap. | Fact Generation pauses. Extra credits can be bought on Premium, Plus, and Business. |
| Vercel Hobby hosting | Included Vercel usage, not v0 credits. | Fact Hobby pauses when included usage is exceeded. Overage purchases are not the Hobby path. |
| Vercel Pro hosting | Vercel usage above included amounts, if any. | Fact Spend Management can pause deployments, webhook, or SMS at 100% usage. This is not a v0 credit event. |
What this page does not do
- It does not decide whether a specific Hobby deployment is “commercial.” Vercel’s fair-use wording is a Vercel plan question, not a v0 credit number, and account application remains Unknown — account_dependent.
- It does not treat Plus $30 as covering Vercel Pro $20. Official integration docs say a new team created from a Hobby team can require Vercel Pro in addition, without extra v0 capability.
- It does not collapse this model into Lovable’s unified credits or Bolt’s token/hosting split. See the matrix.
TraceCheck maintainer: review when v0 credit rules, Premium sunset, or Vercel Hobby pause/commercial terms change. Do not collapse v0 credits into Vercel usage credits.
