Deciding factorYou have a codebase and want generated React components to drop into it.versus: You want the app built, hosted, and running without leaving the browser.
Bottom line
v0 if you already have a codebase; Replit if you do not.
The short answer
Both turn a prompt into a running thing, but they stop at different points. v0 produces interface code you copy into your own project; Replit hosts the whole app and will deploy it. Choose based on whether you want a starting point or a place to live.
