Macaly vs v0

Choosing between them? Keep building in the Claude or ChatGPT you already pay for, nothing comes off your Macaly credits, and Macaly takes care of the hosting, the database, sign-in and the domain.

How it works in Macaly

Database and sign-in

Your database and sign-in live in the project.

Tell the agent what the app should store and who signs in. The tables sit in the project, where you open them and edit a row whenever you need to.

Your brand

The site runs under your own brand.

Point your own domain at it, and no Macaly badge shows on the site.

One project

You publish the same site every time.

One project is the pages, the database and the domain together. Publish again and it is the same site with the same data. No second project appears anywhere.

Support

Our team is here when you need help.

Send us a link to your chat. We usually reply within one business day. If the agent got stuck or the environment crashed, we investigate and may return credits after reviewing what happened.
