Free MotionSites Prompts: What Is Free and the Best Free Alternatives (2026)
MotionSites sells its prompts, so many people search for free MotionSites prompts or a free alternative. There are real free options for animated websites, from free layers with full prompts to free templates with source code. This guide lists them honestly, says what each free tier leaves out, and includes a prompt template you can reuse.
Written by AmJ, founder of Scrollhaus, and edited by the Scrollhaus editorial team. Sources and methodology are documented in the article.
Key takeaways
Disclosure: ScrollHaus publishes this guide and lists its own free tier among the options. Details about other products come from their public pages, read on October 4, 2026.
Are MotionSites prompts free?
Partly. MotionSites is mainly a paid library: its pricing page lists a $279 yearly plan, a $399 lifetime plan and $49 prompt packs. A third-party listing on toolso.ai reports three free prompts before paid plans, and its founder regularly shares individual free prompt links on social media for a limited time. The full library sits behind the paid plans. If you want to try prompt-led animated websites without paying, those free prompts and the options below are the practical route.
Free animated website prompts and templates
1. GetLayers free layers
GetLayers offers a free plan with a curated set of layers and the full prompt for each, no card needed. The catch is that free layers are for trying the product, not for commercial use. They work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt and v0.
2. ScrollHaus free websites and GitHub repository
ScrollHaus lets you scroll every website live in full screen without an account. Selected websites are free to build, which means you can copy their source and build prompt without paying, and a public GitHub repository holds free templates you can clone. The rest of the library needs a plan, from $49.99 every three months.
3. Open-source UI libraries
Component libraries such as 21st.dev, Aceternity UI and Magic UI provide free animated components built with React, Tailwind CSS and shadcn-style patterns. They are not full websites, so you assemble pages yourself, but they cost nothing and the code is yours.
4. Your AI builder's own examples
Lovable, Bolt and v0 publish example projects and remixable templates. They are plainer than a curated motion library, but they are the safest place to learn how each builder reads a prompt.
What free tiers leave out
| Option | What you get | What is missing |
|---|---|---|
| GetLayers free | Full prompts for a curated set | Commercial licence, most of the library, source, MCP |
| ScrollHaus free | Complete websites with source and build prompt for selected entries | Premium entries need a plan |
| Open-source components | Code you own | Whole-page direction and scroll choreography |
| Builder examples | Learning material | Distinctive motion |
How to use a free animated website prompt in one workflow
- Copy the prompt for a hero section or landing page you like.
- Paste it into your AI coding tool, such as Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Claude Code or v0, and let it generate the first version in one click.
- Check the animated background and hero section on a phone before you change anything.
- Refine one section at a time with short follow-up prompts: copy, colours, spacing, then motion.
- Publish only after you have tested reduced motion, loading speed and the licence for any media.
This is the same workflow that paid prompt libraries sell, so a good free prompt plus patient editing gets you most of the way for a first project.
A reusable prompt for an animated landing page
If you only want to try the workflow, this structure works in most AI builders. Replace the brackets with your own details.
Build a single-page landing page for [brand] that sells [offer] to [audience].
Use a full-screen hero with a looping background video or canvas, a headline that
rises word by word on load, and sections that reveal on scroll.
Style: [colors], [typefaces], generous spacing, no stock-photo look.
Motion: ease-out curves, 600 to 900 ms durations, respect prefers-reduced-motion.
Sections: hero, three benefits, a pinned horizontal gallery, pricing, FAQ, footer.
Mobile first. Keep it one HTML file with no external build step.Then refine one section at a time. Our guide to using AI website prompts in Lovable, Bolt and Claude Code explains why smaller edits work better than rewriting everything at once.
When free is not enough
Free options are good for learning and for a first draft. Paid libraries earn their price when you need a commercial licence, consistent art direction across several pages or the exact scroll behaviour of a design you have already seen. If that is you, compare ScrollHaus vs MotionSites and the three-way MotionSites vs GetLayers vs ScrollHaus guide.
Checklist before you reuse any free template
- Read the licence. Free often means non-commercial.
- Replace copy, imagery and logos with your own.
- Test on a real phone and with reduced motion enabled.
- Check media weight so scroll stays smooth.
- Confirm that fonts and videos are licensed for your use.
ScrollHaus is also listed on Product Hunt and the toolso.ai directory, where you can read independent comments before you decide.
