    Considered Both Products
    Elementor
    Chose Elementor
    I prefer it to most of them because it's cost effective and I really like WordPress a really good feature base to build websites on. Bricks is WP-based too, but I find Elementor easier to use.

    Chose Elementor
    We weighed Elementor against the classic/native WordPress editor and Gutenberg. Elementor provides more functionality and with a greater ease of use than its competitors.

    Chose Elementor
    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 …

    Chose Elementor
    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 …

    Chose Elementor
    We've used Divi and Enfold as well, both of those have a similar goal for visual editors and usability and work well - but Elementor feels more polished and has great support.

    I use Optimize Press on a business website. It has a conceptually similar WYSIWYG page builder. They provide a sales funnel capability with their theme, which is why I use them.

    Chose Elementor
    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 …

    Chose Elementor
    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 …

    I want WP Bakery back.

    Chose Elementor
    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 …

    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.

    Compared to other providers, Elementor can be easy to use and learn, allowing you to build professional websites in a fraction of the time it takes to build websites with other sites. The AI feature can help non-tech people to easily understand and build a website that is SEO …

    Chose Elementor
    Elementor does have some bloat, but nearly as much as Divi has. In comparison, it's extremely light weight and much faster to use with the front end builder. It's so much faster to edit and move elements around with Elementor compaired to Divi. I still have to do some work on D…

    Chose WordPress
    WordPress simply has so many more options to customize both our and the users experience. Wix also is really expensive in the long run, does not let you add plugins or customize as much as you want. Jimdo is similar, just not quite as expensive. When growing our business, those …

    Chose WordPress
    To work with WordPress your company needs a developer, no matter what. Unless you have the experienced developer in house, you will need one. Squarespace is superfriendly and easy to work. Has all the features for a simple and clean website. WordPress lacks this part.

    It's the best option for hosting a blog on a website where you can also integrate all major marketing tools and platforms. WordPress gives you [the] freedom to use whatever tool works best for you and integrate it with your website and blog. It makes tracking, measuring, and …

    Chose WordPress
    I prefer Wordpress because it is open source and has a huge community of users and developers. So it is incredibly flexible already because of the plugins available, and it can be further customized to any extent by readily available developer talent.
