In September 2025, I published a comparison of v0 and Figma Make. Tested both on paid plans. Compared how they understand prompts, maintain context, and handle files. Accurate at the time of writing.
It got outdated faster than my coffee got cold.
Back then, the flow for designers was: you open a website, write a prompt, and get a result. v0, Lovable, and Figma Make are essentially the same thing, just with different interfaces, wrappers around the same logic. The differences I wrote about were real. But they were differences between siblings in the same family.
Everyone understood that agentic AI was coming. Nobody expected it to happen this fast.
So here is the before and after, honestly.
With v0, you got a reliable prompt-to-result loop. With Figma Make, you got the same idea but less predictable. Better than nothing. The bar was: which tool follows commands without losing context?
Now that bar does not exist. The whole question changed.
With Claude Code, a project starts with a folder. Inside, I immediately create a structure: date, context, rules, and visual style, everything my little helper needs to stay in context. Then I vibe code a prototype, get a live result, test it, and depending on the situation, either copy it into Figma via MCP or hand it directly to developers. The process starts with a live product from the beginning.
And while I was writing this article, that step got shorter too. Now I type in the terminal, and it appears directly in Figma. No export, no plugin, no extra steps. The article is not even published yet, and the workflow it describes is already a previous version.
I do not remember when I last opened v0 or Figma Make. Even Figma is no longer the first step. That would have sounded like a provocation in September.
(Lovable is still a thing. I checked. Just now. Not sure about in five minutes.)
I am not even going to start on Claude's agents, skills, design, and the million other things they keep shipping. Just watching with curiosity and trying not to make hasty conclusions anymore.
In a world where everything becomes outdated, that might be the only reasonable position.
