Isn't that a product copy?

I know inspiration is a thing, but I’m wondering what is the limit.

Product 1 Product 2

These two items look the same, the overall look and feeling is the same, some details are the exact same, the thumbnails are identical, and even the demo pages (with showcase of the different versions) are the same. I cannot believe this is a pure coincidence.

I often see products that are obviously heavily inspired (if not partially or almost totally copied) from other products. And the funny thing is that most of the time, it is Elite Authors that are copying non-Elite Authors.

So in your opinion, this is work theft, or legit inspiration ?

One of is react, other is HTML ( Which is allowed ) but I’m not sure if the authors are aware of the issue as the code itself could be a freebie somewhere else. You should contact Envato support and report the problem. They could investigate the issue.
