About this site

magicui.net is an independent resource site about the library: install guides for Next.js and Vite, the component and template overview, MCP server setup for AI editors, and plain answers on pricing and licensing. It is run by magicui.net and takes part in the official affiliate program, so it earns a commission on Pro purchases made through its links — at no extra cost to the buyer.

How facts stay current: prices and license terms are read from the official pricing and license pages, package versions from the npm registry, star counts from the GitHub API and the component catalog from the public registry; each figure carries its source link and a "last checked" date, and the changelog records every change we pick up. When something here disagrees with the official product, the official page wins — please tell us through the contact page and it will be corrected.

What this site is not: it does not sell anything itself, does not host or redistribute the Pro code, and does not publish personal opinions or ratings — every claim is meant to be traceable to the product's own documentation.
