Which to pick
Pick v0 by Vercel unless Craft is what decides it for you, which is exactly where Framer is the better answer.
v0 by Vercel
v0 generates React and Next.js interfaces from a prompt or a screenshot, and hands you the source. It assumes a developer is in the loop, which is exactly why the output is easy to take somewhere else. As a way to skip the first eighty percent of a page, it is very hard to beat.
Where it shines
- The code is yours, readable, and ships straight into an existing codebase
- Screenshot-to-interface is genuinely accurate for layout and spacing
- Sits naturally next to the rest of the Vercel deployment workflow
Framer
Framer is a design tool that happens to publish real websites, and its AI features sit around the edges: generating a starting layout, rewriting copy, translating pages. The reason it earns a high place here is the ceiling. If the finished thing has to look immaculate and move well, this is the shortest path.
Where it shines
- Best-in-class control over layout, typography and motion
- Publishing, CMS and hosting are handled without leaving the canvas
- A deep component and template ecosystem to borrow from
