Is Shard a v0 replacement?

They overlap but solve different problems. v0 is strong at generating UI from a text prompt. Shard is built for the case where you already have a design — a Figma frame or screenshot — and want it turned into clean React.

What kind of code does Shard produce?

One self-contained .tsx file per result: React with typed props, a default export, and Tailwind utility classes. No additional UI library beyond react-icons.

Can I try Shard for free?

Yes — five free generations with no credit card. After that, paid plans add monthly quota.

The short version

Vercel v0 is a capable prompt-to-UI generator. Describe what you want and it produces React using Tailwind and shadcn/ui, with fast iteration in its workspace.

Shard starts from a design you already have. Drop in a Figma frame or a screenshot and a Claude vision agent returns a self-contained React + TypeScript + Tailwind component — no extra component library to adopt.

If your work begins with a design rather than a description, Shard's vision-first workflow is the more direct path from picture to code.
