Aceternity UI

Animated / visual-effect components

Free tier + paidUI component librariesui.aceternity.com

What it is

200+ copy-paste animated components built with Tailwind and Motion — 3D cards, parallax scroll, spotlight glows, animated text reveals, particle backgrounds. Premium adds hero blocks, feature sections and full templates.

Why it earns a slot

Genuinely hard-to-reproduce visual effects for a cover story or a launch page. Dark-mode-first aesthetic, so expect editing to match a lighter editorial palette.

Know before you commit

The free components have no clearly published open-source licence — the licence page covers Pro terms only. For commercial project work that ambiguity is a real risk. Also: several components pull in Three.js, and the $199 tier is an annual subscription, not a one-time buy.
