Lovable vs V0 vs Figma Make vs Codex vs Claude Code: Which One Wins?

I tested 5 leading front-end prototyping tools (Lovable, v0, Figma Make, Codex with GPT-5.3, and Claude Code with Opus 4.6) by building the same running coach web app from a PRD. v0 won for design (9/10) and speed (4 minutes), while Codex excelled at UX depth but struggled with design quality. This comparison reveals why specialized front-end tools still outperform general-purpose AI coding assistants for rapid prototyping.

💡 Key Takeaway: Start with specialized front-end tools (v0, Lovable, Figma Make) for your prototype, then sync to Cursor to build backend and business logic. This is the workflow I teach in my Master Course.
