MotionSites vs GetLayers vs ScrollHaus: Which AI Website Library Should You Buy?
Three libraries now compete to give AI builders better starting points for animated websites: MotionSites, GetLayers and ScrollHaus. They sound alike, but one sells prompts, one sells reusable layers with optional source, and one shows complete working websites. This guide compares what each delivers, what it costs and who it suits.
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 comparison. Details for MotionSites and GetLayers come from their public homepages and pricing pages, read on October 4, 2026. Verify current prices and licence terms before buying.
The short version
- MotionSites sells copy-and-paste prompts, sections, animated backgrounds and templates, with a source-copy option on designs. It is the most prompt-centred of the three.
- GetLayers sells reusable layers: templates, 3D scenes, sections, backgrounds and gradients. Its top plan adds source code, an MCP and a private Discord.
- ScrollHaus sells complete animated websites that you can scroll live before paying, then take as original source plus a build prompt.
If you only need a prompt for one page, MotionSites or a GetLayers free layer is enough. If you want a library of full websites with source, ScrollHaus is the closest fit. If you want small reusable animated pieces such as a 3D scene or a gradient, GetLayers is built for that.

MotionSites in more detail
MotionSites positions itself around beautiful website prompts for Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and Claude, with the tagline "just copy, paste, and launch". Its yearly plan at $279 per year includes unlimited prompts, apps, animated backgrounds, sections, 40+ templates, an MCP, community access and rights for personal and client work. The lifetime plan is $399 one-time and prompt packs are $49. It is strongest when your AI builder does the heavy lifting and you want better art direction in the prompt.
GetLayers in more detail
GetLayers describes itself as an AI-native library of layers. It lists five types: templates, 3D scenes, sections, backgrounds and gradients. Copy-paste prompts work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt and v0, and the library is stack-agnostic, so it can feed Astro, Vue or WordPress as well as Next.js. The free plan gives a curated set of layers with the full prompt and no card, but not for commercial use. Unlimited is $99 lifetime and includes every prompt with a commercial licence. Full Stack is $129 lifetime and adds source code for one-to-one results, animated backgrounds, 3D scenes, gradients and their tuning tools, direct Discord support and MCP access.
GetLayers' lifetime-only pricing is the cheapest long-term option in this comparison if its layers cover what you build. It suits teams who assemble pages from parts rather than start from a finished website.
ScrollHaus in more detail
ScrollHaus is a library of animated website directions with live previews. Each website opens in a full-screen viewer that scrolls like the real page, without an account. Plans unlock the original source and a build prompt: quarterly at $49.99 every three months, yearly at $199 and lifetime at $299. The free tier includes selected websites and a public GitHub repository of free templates. It suits people who already know they want a full-page direction and want it to behave exactly as previewed.
Which one fits your situation?
You build landing pages for clients
You need a commercial licence, a way to show clients the real motion, and a predictable cost. GetLayers Unlimited is cheapest if prompts are enough. ScrollHaus is useful when you want to demo the actual page. MotionSites is worth comparing on its included client rights.
You want to assemble your own page from parts
GetLayers' layer model is the closest match. You choose a hero background, a 3D scene and a section, and stack them.
You want a finished page with real source
ScrollHaus, or GetLayers Full Stack if you also want 3D scenes and gradients and prefer lifetime pricing.
You are exploring on a budget
Start with the free tiers. GetLayers offers free layers with full prompts, and ScrollHaus offers free-to-build websites and a GitHub repository. Our guide to free MotionSites prompts and alternatives lists more.
How to compare without wasting money
- List the three pages you most want to build.
- Find the closest match in each library using public previews only.
- Scroll each on your phone and note jank, load time and readability.
- Check the licence line for client or commercial work.
- Buy the smallest plan that covers your list, and upgrade later if you keep using it.
