I have used the built-in Gutenberg content builder and Visual Composer before. Neither of these are truly "front-end" page builders. They allow you to build with blocks the content you want, but you can not see it live as you design it. That is the true value Elementor has above all the other tools.

Thrive Leads and thrive architect is a pain to update, they've changed version and name in recent years. I am unable to update because every time there was an upgrade or new release of the plugin it caused issues with my website's functionality which has left me stuck updating old versions that don't work anymore. With Elementor i haven't had this issue.

I previously used Wix with another company, and when I switched companies, the company I switched to was already using WordPress/Elementor. I could have switched the company to Wix if I had wanted to, but I enjoy the flexibility that Elementor allows, something that Wix isn't as good at.

I ended up asking Elementor for a refund so I could use another theme. They were quick to refund me and ask what they could do better in the future. I ended up choosing OShine, which worked great for me, but now I wish I would've gone with Oxygen as it seems to be a little tiny bit faster than OShine. I just don't have the time to build another website at the moment and I'm happy with the speed of my site.

Elementor is relatively cheap and easy to use, but comes with a number of performance issues which ruin the experience in the long run. Right now, we've switched to Webflow and unbounce for the same ease of use, but with improved performance

We wanted to use WordPress and not depend on the Tilda with annual fees, so we installed wordpress and bought a template on Envato market, and the selected template already had a built-in Elementor, which I just tweaked to fit my needs. Also we don't want to learn a completely new engine like Drupal or Joomla.

Elementor stuck out as the clear leader for their online support and ease of use. WordPress has started to adopt some of the core features of WordPress, which means that they must have been good and seen as a clear necessity, but the Elementor still has the clear lead on functionality and widget support. We've also looked at thing like Beaver Builder but there was far more support and functionality with Elementor at our price point.

I tried a couple of website builders for Wordpress and Visual Composer was the only other that I considered using. Elementor is a better product like the price difference proves. I will choose Elementor whenever possible because it makes sense from a business perspective.

Before Elementor, I developed our site using the WordPress plugin Divi. While the editor was great, I found that the site load times (even with image optimization) were unacceptably slow. The Elementor editor is on par with Divi (better in way[s], less intuitive in others), but the real benefit is site load time. Elementor is very user-friendly, looks great, and loads extremely fast!

Before using Elementor we used Divi by Elegant Themes, and the biggest improvements are in load speed and reduced bloat. Elementor editor loads faster and makes web design a more enjoyable process. I would highly recommend Elementor over Divi. It’s also helpful that Elementor allows you to bring your own theme rather than just using the Divi theme.

We've used everything from Divi to Brizy to Gutenberg and beyond. For us, Elementor ticks all the boxes. Though Divi has its fanbase, it doesn't allow a client to switch easily down the road whereas Elementor does. Divi and Elementor were our final two choices as we went through the decision process.

I am not finding the builders that I have used in the past in the prepopulated area. The builders that we have used in the past include Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Instapages, as well as the classic editor and Gutenberg. I will say that Beaver Builder is probably a close second, but we felt Elementor was the overall best choice when accounting for functionality, price, and ease of use. And of course all the 3rd party support for Elementor.

Elementor is relatively inexpensive for the features offered. It's simpler than some competitors and allows teams to play around with site content without overwhelming them with sophisticated features.

Elementor is superior to other page builders I have used previously, including Divi and Beaver Builder, and are easier to use than hosted options I have previously used, including Squarespace and Wix. It allows for more flexible designs for advanced users and a more intuitive interface for complete beginners. It is full of great features, widgets and premade templates that are great to use for users of all levels.

  • Divi
  • Site Origin
  • WP Bakery Builder
Elementor by far is the easiest to learn, use, and manipulate. The drag and drop features are clear to understand, the ability to add/edit content is laid out in simple/foolproof ways, and the upload speed is fast. There is no confusion when going to use Elementor to edit/change a page, and it works well on mobile/desktop.

I started out using Elementor first and invested in the paid plan and then when I needed to move my website to a new host I was unable to use my previous paid plugin so I decided to try out Brizy. After being stung but Elementor I decided to not invest in Brizy and use their free plugin instead.
I found that Brizy was much easier to use, provided a lot more themes, functionalities and looked more professional and that's just with the free version. Elementor needs to have competition and definitely needs to improve what it offers.
