## When to pick it

- **shadcn/ui**, You need application UI, not a landing page.
- **React Bits**, You want a single effect and nothing else.
- **Aceternity UI**, You want bigger, more cinematic effects.
- **HyperUI**, The project is HTML/CSS, or you want no JS for the section.

## Verdict

Magic UI is the balanced choice for landing blocks; Aceternity for the statement page, React Bits for the one effect, HyperUI when there is no React at all.
