80 resources, every one verified by direct fetch — pricing from the vendor's own page, stars and commit dates from the GitHub API.54 are free. 19 carry a license or liveness warning.
Since the Webflow acquisition, ScrollTrigger, SplitText and MorphSVG are included. Those were the $99/yr Club plugins. If you are budgeting for GSAP, stop.
Lovable’s own FAQ: "there is no way to start a Lovable project from already existing code." v0 is screenshots-or-Figma. Bolt lists no URL input. Lovable scored 2/10 when someone tried anyway.
COSS (ex-Origin UI) is AGPL-3.0 and astroship is GPL-3.0. Both are unusable in closed-source client deliverables. React Bits carries a Commons Clause — fine on client sites, not for a template product you sell.
True only for the captured viewport in the captured state. Hover states you did not trigger, uncaptured breakpoints, lazy-loaded content, licensed webfonts, and custom motion/WebGL do not survive. Clone for structure, rebuild the motion.
motionsite.ai (singular) and webthemez.com share identical pricing and feature copy, and both sit one character from motionsites.ai. There is also a public clone on blink.new. Do not read them as independent competitors.
