Can your team hand finished work to clients?
DesignPrompts permits unlimited client work while Pro is active and explicitly lets clients keep using and changing delivered finished work. They do not receive rights to reuse the catalogue or a System elsewhere. Terms.
Aceternity permits unlimited client End Products and their distribution. It restricts standalone source redistribution and derivative templates sold through marketplaces. Both products distinguish a finished client site from a reusable kit. Aceternity licence.

Who should pick Aceternity UI Pro?
Pick Aceternity when you can name the effect, interaction or template you want to use. Try its free components, inspect the dependencies and test the animation with your actual content. Check keyboard operation and reduced-motion behaviour after integrating it.
Who should pick DesignPrompts Pro?
We recommend DesignPrompts when the visual decisions need to work across the whole page. Compare a hero, content section and pricing block in Bauhaus and Swiss Minimalist. Each pack gives those parts a shared character before your agent begins composing them.
For a more complete starting point, choose a System. Its finished page shows how type, imagery and composition work together, and its design contract gives the agent guidance for your changes. Pro includes both Systems and LandingKit, so you can choose the right starting point for each project while subscribed.
How does a coding agent install from each?
DesignPrompts LandingKit installs through the shadcn CLI with your Pro licence key. Configure the registry, put the key in the environment and copy the item's install command. Installation guide.
Aceternity documents shadcn CLI and MCP installation; paid items require an API key. Templates download as projects. DesignPrompts' separate MCP connector is in development, while its shadcn installation path is available now. Aceternity installation.
Compare LandingKit styles, then inspect a System whose finished page fits your product. You can also try the free Start and copy a design prompt before buying Pro.
