Struggling to wrap your head around SwiftUI? Libraried is your new best friend. With our ever-expanding collection of SwiftUI components, mastering this powerful framework has never been easier. Who's this app for? Developers, designers, and anyone with a SwiftUI itch to scratch. - DEVELOPER'S GOLDEN TICKET Scratching your head over that SwiftUI tutorial you just watched? Stuck in UIKit land but dying to dip your toes into SwiftUI without the project setup hassle? Seasoned SwiftUI pro with a case of syntax amnesia? Feast your eyes on our fully customizable components using native SwiftUI modifiers. Tweak options and watch the code transform before your eyes. It's like X-ray vision for SwiftUI! - DESIGNER'S DREAM GUIDE We get it, designers. You lose sleep over whether that font should be "Ultra Thin" or just "Thin". Browse our views, explore all the options, and find your pixel-perfect match. Oh, and that cryptic area at the bottom of the screen? Just pretend it's not there. (It's for the folks who whisper sweet nothings to their computers.) - CODE COPYING BONANZA Let's face it: if you can't copy the code, does it even exist? Developers, you know the drill. We won't tell, if you won't. Wink wink. Designers, next time a developer claims "it can't be done," just casually flick open that mysterious bottom section. Voila! Magical code appears. Send it their way and watch jaws drop. Whether you're slinging code or pushing pixels, our copy-paste wonderland is your new secret weapon. SwiftUI is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Libraried at 93% against UI Playground's 67%. Libraried also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). UI Playground's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Libraried sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and UI Playground sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
UI Playground holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Libraried has 42 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Libraried's written reviews are positive against 67% of UI Playground's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Libraried ships an update every 2 months, UI Playground monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
