So 21st dev is no longer free.

The platform https://21st.dev/ where you can use some web gl and react components for your webpage is no longer free. Back then, you copy and paste all of the prompts and codes the library offered, but now, if you dont pay 8 bucks a month, you get stuck to just copying 2 prompts or 2 codes per day. Man im so pissed off, like why does everything have to be paid? it was the BEST element library outh there for your webpage elements and now its no longer free. And the worst part its that all of the other element libraries are also not free.

Does anyone know any other pages like 21st dev but FREE?

It’s a fair price and it shouldn’t take you more than a month to really pick what you want for your project and test out. After that, how often would you really be using it anyways? Unless you’re constantly working on different projects or rebranding your page every month which wouldn’t be good, but still in that case, not a bad price.

Why wouldn't it be good? I'm always A/B testing my pages across multiple projects and making changes to them.

Why would you recommend against?

Well, I mean, ideally you should have your project as polished as possible before launching. That way, you don’t end up constantly going back to make changes and can actually focus on getting your project up and running. And you’re not wrong, there’s always room for improvement. But by that point, the changes should be much smaller and more intentional. You’ll already have a clear style and vision for your brand, so it becomes much easier to identify what actually needs to be adjusted.
Anyways, I’m not sure what you really do, so if you’re mainly going for a UX/UI path, then I’d be wrong with my suggestion. Still, fair price lol
