WunderUI vs ReUI
ReUI extends shadcn/ui with a large set of extra components and paid blocks. WunderUI is a separate library with its own tokens and a Figma library. This page uses only what ReUI states about itself. WunderUI is our product, so read it with that in mind.

Who should pick which
Pick ReUI if
- You already build on shadcn/ui and want many more free components and blocks in the same registry.
- You want the breadth of a large free catalogue before paying for anything.
- You want a shadcn-compatible set that works with the shadcn CLI and its theming.
Pick WunderUI if
- You want one design system, with its own tokens, in React and in Figma, rather than an extension of shadcn/ui.
- You want charts, data tables and AI and agent components as part of one library.
- You want screens and templates as source in one licence.
