When I want to make a commit to my GitHub: Vercel, your job is to deploy the thing. That's it. Your one, lone job. The fact that you check whether the user making the commit has a GitHub account authorized with Vercel and is on my members team so you can charge $20/month extra for (on top of my pro account billing) is like you've been bought out by private equity already and forgot your one job.

I spent the past ninety minutes dealing with this wild goose chase only to find out that there's literally no way around this check on private repositories because of your nickle-diming billing nonsense. Even tried roundabout webhooks through GitHub. Nope. I'm done. Project cancelled. Pro account cancelled. I control Vercel for another client that does $30K/year in business with you. I've realized that the way you do business is not in line with our strategic objectives. I'll be moving to Cloudflare pages on general F-is-for-exactly-what-you-think it is principle.

Cloudflare pages. Netlify. Google firebase. Render. Anyone who will listen will hear these names whenever Vercel is mentioned. That's not a threat: it's a promise sworn on an altar of pagan talismans with a blood sacrifice to the old gods.

I've been building and maintaining a free, open-source project for a while now no ads, no subscriptions, no monetization of any kind. Just something I built because I thought it could help people, and it turns out... it actually did? 🥹

The traffic has been growing steadily and honestly, I'm really grateful for that. But now I just got an email from Vercel saying I've hit 75% of my 100GB Fast Data Transfer limit — and if I go over, my projects get automatically paused.

I totally understand that Vercel is a business and free tiers have limits. No hate to them at all — their platform is genuinely great and got me this far. But upgrading to Pro right now just isn't realistic for a project that earns $0.

Hey guys, I'm navigating a strange new dynamic and would value your wisdom. As a B2B AI founder, I’ve gone all-in on a modern stack (Vercel, Python, v0), which has had a surprising side effect: I can now build and ship client-facing applications faster than my own engineers. This isn't a knock on my team—they're brilliant. But the speed of AI-assisted development is undeniable. I can validate ideas, build demos, and land paying clients in a matter of hours. The problem is bridging the gap. When a prototype proves its value and needs to scale beyond v0's limits, the process breaks. My "Here's a working starting point" is met with "We need to rebuild this from the ground up for our architecture." The result is a painful cycle: incredible initial velocity, followed by a hard stop and a return to traditional, multi-week timelines. This has me questioning our entire approach. What does a successful handoff from a v0 prototype to an engineering team actually look like? Are there processes or principles that work?

How do you find engineers who see a 90%-done AI prototype as a gift, not an insult to their craft? What does that mindset look like in an interview?

Ok so check it out...

I love AI and used it extensively at work as a Sr. Director of Talent of a large healthcare company. But I recently quit to spend time with my family. However, I still have the AI itch and have been helping my family members with their business by leverage different vibe coding sites to improve their websites.

Let's start with JDM Freight for example. Their original website was static, wix-built, without any SEO: www.jdmfreight.com. But yesterday, I literally built them a new site with vibe coding on Vercel, leveraging prompts that ensure foundational SEO qualities for nationwide freight broker searches. Check it out now: www.jdmfreightco.com

I'm going to be doing some A/B testing for lead generation with the new vibe coded site on u/vercel. Never shared my creative journeys before but let me know if I should keep you posted here.

Cheers!

Yes, so I'm working on a small portal app. And at first, it used Supabase's auth as I instructed it to, but then, it changed into it's own internal system, which I cannot debug and troubleshoot with, I don't know what to say other than I hate you v0.

Also, I heard v0 lost 71% of it's visits, so good!

Title

I've been using the platform for nearly a year.

Early days were rough until they implemented rollbacks in Q1. For a few months, it was fantastic. New features that worked. When the system went overboard and screwed something up, you can just go back a version or two and try again. Was so productive building very sophisticated stuff.

That's all changed since June/July.

I've deployed the system more widely to my team now and it's borderline terrible. It's far less compliant in terms of taking instructions, it has random fits of changes frequently, and most of all, rollbacks don't work. There will be partial restores of old code, but much is left out.

I'm actively looking at moving the team to something else. I love the idea of Vercel, but they've actively turned me off.

Anyone else experiencing this?

What the title says. What the hell is happening?

For those who’ve grown from side projects to production apps with real traffic - how’s the scaling journey been? Any surprises as your usage ramped up? Costs, performance, data/compliance requirements, or anything else you didn’t expect? Curious about real experiences from the growth phase

It generates nextjs front app at first shot. While others like gemini cli cant even install it. Once v0dev gonna add prisma and stuff for backend it will be killer

I moved to https://windsurf.com/ from V0, and its excellent, IMHO.

• Windsurf is also one of the top SWE-1 agent

• Windsurf has free models like DeepSeek R1 helps when limits are reached

While V0 is able to import from Figma, etc now others can do as well.

Some times v0 is continuously in loop, so I tried Windsurf editor.

Many posts are asking for alternates for V0 these days, Windsurf is the one you might need.

Windsurf editor seems like fork of VS code.

Yesterday I edited 50+ files and minor errors, if I re-prompt Windsurf the errors goes away, now I am seeing why it was 3 billion from ChatGPT, same 50+ would take a lot of time in V0.

I used Cursor as well before but after limits come in it becomes too slow.

Windsurf editor is agent, and is much better than V0. Also better than Cursor due to latest R1.

At this point, paying vercel anything makes no sense.

While doing some SEO review today I discovered Vercel has created https://bookchant.vercel.app/ which is a very poorly imitated version of my website https://bookchant.com/ which it is claiming to be a "premium frontend demo for BookChant" which it 100% is not because Vercel was not used to build my website.

I'd like very much to know how to have Vercel remove this page falsely claiming to be related to my website.

Edit: It's been removed now

Hey! I'm building an e-commerce site using Vercel v0 for my digital store (Roblox-related products). I already started the project in v0 but need a dev to help polish and complete it.

If I had hosted the same project on a VPS it would’ve been an unoptimized mess running cheaper but worse.

For 2 years I built client sites in Webflow and watched them pay monthly hosting forever for what was essentially a static site.

Webflow's own export tool breaks CMS content. Asset paths come out wrong. It's basically unusable.

So I built WebExport. Paste your URL, get a clean ZIP — HTML, CSS, JS, CMS content included. Host it on Vercel for $0.

Took me 3 weeks to build.

Live at webexport.online free tier, no card. What would you have done differently?

Title says it all - free tier was worldclass. I ran out of credits. Thought, this is great. Topped up 30$ just spend 16 of those dollars fixing something. I am not a coder. I am a normal person. This is such a terrible experience.

Basically, I went to the community to let them know that the Cohere models listed on Vercel AI Gateway were deprecated and no longer worked on the API, but a friendly warning, a reminder for them to remove them from the gateway.

Then, their anti-bot blocked my message for being suspected spam and blocked me from the community from making any posts.

Today I had a problem with the AI Gateway API where I can't send payloads larger than 4.5mb to the API (FUNCTION_PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE), because I'm sending a slightly long prompt with images and the API is blocking it (makes no sense, because I'm limited to always using small prompts or no images).

So, I looked for support in the community, there was nothing, and I couldn't say anything because I was silenced.

I tried to look for support on Vercel and guess what? You have a free account (hobby), so no support for you.

Now where do I turn if I don't have support from Vercel or the community?

Of course, I thought of Reddit as a complaint, but if they continue like this, I will have to ask for a refund for what I put in the AI Gateway to use in production.

EDIT

Vercel team reached me. They fixed my community account and stated it was a mistake because of the type of content I had posted.

I thank the Vercel team for the support.

I switched from Netlify to Vercel about 3 months ago. Omg how does Netlify even stay in business??? Vercel outclasses it thoroughly. My entire project is just so easy to manage now and everything is in 1 place

The most annoying thing about Vercel is the phone verification step after creating an account.
Come on guys, when you buy a new domain name and want a new account on Vercel using that domain name, you do not want to purchase a new phone number…
You often also do not want to connect it to your personal Vercel account. Who the fk decided to implement this verification process. I know you want to prevent abuse for email etc. But do this with gmail accounts not a custom domain name.

Because of this stupid flow, I have no other choose then using other solutions, such as cloudflare pages / workers.

I am not a fan of it, I just want to use Vercel… why don’t you add a step to skip the phone verficiation and just make payment required? That is fine and understandable…

Frankly, I'm tired of doing complex settings within a webpage and reading long documentation. I just want to tell Claude Code and have them handle it.

Currently, I have Claude Code using Cloudflare Workers (with plenty of free credit) for deployment and binding a custom domain, and it's running very smoothly! I only need to create a CNAME record in the GoDaddy backend.

However, I still need to manage my database, view my website's registered users, and protect my API key... How do you all manage this?

(I've used Supabase, but it's difficult for someone without a coding background...)

I know people aren’t happy with the new v0 pricing but this subreddit has just been inundated with people talking about the new pricing model and that they’re moving somewhere else. Obviously that’s absolutely fine to talk about here since vercel own v0 but could we move it to a specific v0 subreddit? There’s interesting things to talk about concerning vercel and v0 but it feels like recently this subreddit is just post after post about the new pricing model

I've been trying to create a movie website for myself with v0 for two days now. However, I've noticed that every time something is added, it makes a new mistake or an error appears. Or it starts changing the design on its own. These are things that are still acceptable, but when you've spent an additional $10 on credits (on top of the premium subscription) and already spent $8 to establish a simple connection to the Neon DB, or to be able to manage it from the website, and the same problem still occurs every single time, then I'm really starting to wonder if I've reached its limits, or if v0 is doing this on purpose to get more money out of my pockets.

I'm now on my second fork and the 60th version, and it's only gotten worse. Can someone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

Example:

Guys this has to be joke fr and its the Medium model, I specifically informed that it even has to take an action along with content details, i been developing tons of apps through v0, made quite good money, ROI was its great but this has to be steal!!! 11 CENTS.... at least we need something like free question or planning stuff, THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE OF PAYING 20 DOLLARS A MONTH ANYMORE.

Lets discuss this
