# UpFork docs

> What UpFork sells, what you can do without an account, and how components, templates and downloads reach your project.

UpFork is a marketplace for hand-built software: React and Tailwind CSS components, landing pages, full-stack projects,
apps, desktop software and scripts, made by independent developers and previewed live before you take them. Plenty is
free; the rest is paid in USDT, wallet to wallet.

## What's on UpFork

| Kind | How it reaches you |
| --- | --- |
| Components | Installed into your React project with the shadcn CLI |
| Landing pages | Installed like components, or downloaded when they're plain HTML, CSS and JS |
| Full-stack projects, apps, desktop software, scripts | Downloaded: versioned releases, each file with its SHA-256 checksum |

Every product page shows the product's license: the UpFork Standard License (use it in any number of personal and
commercial projects, but don't resell or redistribute it on its own) or an open-source one: MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD
3-Clause or GPL v3. The [licenses page](https://upfork.dev/licenses) has them in full.

## Without an account

You can browse the whole catalog, read every product page and try each product's live preview. You can also see an
AI assistant's view of UpFork at [/llms.txt](https://upfork.dev/llms.txt).

## With an account

An account is free. With one you can:

- install free components and download free products;
- see the code of the products you can get, on their pages;
- copy a product's AI prompt, which hands its whole code to your AI assistant;
- open a product's demo in a tab of its own;
- buy paid products, and join a plan for more of UpFork's own.
