Eased UI vs Motion Primitives
I build Eased. This page sets it next to Motion Primitives on the 7 things the full comparison covers. Every Motion Primitives cell comes from its own site or GitHub repo, and the links are under the table.
Eased offer and catalogue checked . Competitor rows were checked and may have changed; see each source for current details. Reduced-motion figures describe the documented checking method, not an independent accessibility certification.
The Eased price cell shows the lasting prices. Until 13 November 2026, the first 10 Solo buyers pay $79 instead, while spots last; pricing shows whether it’s still on.

When to pick Motion Primitives instead
A small MIT set of 33 Motion components, with its own CLI next to the shadcn registry.
Moving from Motion Primitives to Eased
Motion Primitives and Eased both install through the shadcn registry, so there is no new tool to learn. Add an Eased component with the same CLI:
npx shadcn add https://eased.dev/r/button.jsonIt lands in components/eased/, beside the components you already have, so you can move one import at a time. Installation docs
Motion Primitives animates with Motion, and so does Eased, so Eased adds no second animation library.
