What Is The Difference Between Souped and v0?
v0 designs and ships web apps, and its strength is the interface, but every message is billed in tokens at a rate set by the model you pick. Souped is the Startup Kitchen that asks who pays, and why, before the first screen gets drawn, then wires the stack into accounts with your name on them and watches it after Service.
Put simply, v0 answers "how should this look?" and Souped answers "who will pay for it, and what do we build first?" Today's innovative founders know the difference that strong design and strategy have in winning valuable products.
