- Is shadcn/studio free?
- It has a free Community plan that is open source, with a smaller set of blocks and components. Their licence page says the free parts are MIT with a Commons Clause, so you can use them in your projects but not resell or redistribute them. The paid plans are one-time purchases.
- What is a free alternative to shadcn/studio?
- shadcn/ui itself, Kibo UI, SmoothUI and Cult UI are free and MIT. Tailark and shadcnblocks have free blocks too.
- shadcn/studio or shadcnblocks?
- Both are big shadcn/ui kits with free tiers and one-time paid plans. shadcnblocks puts most of its weight on a very large set of blocks and components. shadcn/studio also bundles a theme generator, a drag and drop builder, an MCP server and an IDE extension.
- Do qodesign pieces work in a shadcn/ui app?
- Yes. They are React + TypeScript and Tailwind, so they drop into a shadcn/ui project. The free kit installs with the shadcn CLI too, for example the Day/Night Toggle and Toast Stack.
