Frequently Asked Questions
What is Startup UI Kits?
Startup UI Kits is a curated directory of the best UI kits, component libraries, and design systems built specifically for startup founders and indie developers. We hand-pick tools that are production-ready, well-maintained, and proven by real product teams.
Are all the kits free?
No — the directory includes both free and paid kits. Each listing clearly shows its pricing model (Free, Paid, or Freemium) so you can filter and find what fits your budget. Many paid kits offer a free tier or trial, so check each listing's page for details.
How do I submit a UI kit?
Email us at [email protected] with the kit name, a link to its landing page, and a short description of why it's a great fit for startups. Our team reviews all submissions manually and responds within a few business days.
What are your curation standards?
We only list kits that are actively maintained, have solid documentation, and are genuinely useful for building startup products quickly. We check for quality of components, framework support, licensing clarity, and community health before approving a listing.
Can I get my kit featured?
Yes! Featured listings receive priority placement on the homepage and category pages. Contact us at [email protected] for sponsorship and featured listing details.
How often is the directory updated?
We continuously review new submissions and periodically audit existing listings to remove discontinued or poorly maintained kits. New kits are typically added on a rolling basis as they pass our review.
Do you have an affiliate relationship with listed kits?
Some listings may use affiliate links, clearly marked on each kit's page. This helps us keep the directory free for everyone. Our curation decisions are never influenced by affiliate relationships — we only feature kits we genuinely recommend.
What framework does a kit need to support to be listed?
We don't restrict to a single framework. We list kits for React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Astro, and more. If a kit is framework-agnostic (CSS/HTML only), that's perfectly fine too. We cover the full range of the modern frontend ecosystem.
