shadcn Motion Blocks vs Magic UI
Magic UI and shadcn Motion Blocks both target shadcn/ui users, and Magic UI is free - that is a real advantage. Where shadcn Motion Blocks differs is the live studio (tune every prop in the browser), guaranteed reduced-motion support on every block, and marketing-page blocks specifically - heroes, pricing, CTAs - rather than general-purpose UI effects.
