Elementor Page Builder- the most popular page builder for solopreneurs and businesses

Elementor has its huge follower base mainly because of its free version and ability to customize layouts to the next level. Especially, Elementor works wonderfully well for the solopreneurs or single business website, and you can do multiple customizations even with the free version. And if you like to go with the advanced level features, you can buy the pro version.

The theme builder will help you customize the header and footer section, single post templates. Also, you can customize any element in the real-time mode visually.

Elementor vs. Divi Key Features

Let’s find out the common ground of Elementor and Divi and how they offer unique features to their customers.

Visual Drag and drop interface facility

The first and the most important thing that we notice when using a page builder is its interface and how it allows its users to interact with features.

Both offer a user-friendly interface where Elementor has a fixed editing panel on the left side. In contrast, Divi offers a full-width visual editor where you can see any element’s full options when clicked on the single button. These are floating icons that become visible

While in Elementor, drag and drop any element from the editing panel and then customize them in real-time.

Elementor’s editing sidebar is much more practical and convenient when customizing your elements, and you can easily control how your element looks. Click on the element or widget when you want to customize it, and its settings will open in the sidebar wherefrom you can edit it easily.

Winner: Both are providing user-friendly interfaces in their unique way. Elementor has a dedicated sidebar, while Divi offers floating buttons which pop in or out whenever you hover over the icon. So, it’s all about personal choice which one you prefer the most.

 

Styling Elements and Modules Elementor vs. Divi

Divi is packed with more than 40 elements, and also the developers are working hard to improve the quality of the elements. You can also wet your hands with third-party Add-ons to avail of the advanced customization.

Elementor introduces its elements as Module, and as compared to Divi, Elementor offers a plethora of Modules around 59. Also, there is a library, namely Ultimate Add-Ons for Elementor, to enhance the modules’ flexibility.

Winner: Elementor has a clear edge over Divi as it is offering more dedicated Modules than Divi.

Responsive layouts as per device Elementor Vs. Divi

Both have developed generous, responsive layouts so your designs could look beautiful on all devices automatically.

You’ll find a dedicated icon at the bottom of Elementor’s editor where you can switch between desktop, mobile, and tablet preview and fix things as per the device’s layout.

Divi also let you customize layouts as per screen size and can easily adjust layouts as per settings of screen sizes.

Winner: it’s a tie between both page builders because they have done a good job keeping their layouts responsive to a great extent.

Theme builder options Elementor vs. Divi

Elementor and Divi both have theme-building functionality, and you are not limited to create and customize only page sections. The theme builder will customize your website’s header and footer area, single-page area, archive pages. Divi lets you edit your theme templates with the help of a backend interface. Also, if you like to edit the header section, use the frontend visual builder.

Elementor visual builder will help you in redesigning your theme template by using dedicated widgets also a dedicated content feature template

Pricing

 

As we mentioned earlier that Elementor has a free version that is packed with many valuable features enough for a single site and if you need an advanced level, then go for a premium version with plus size and unlimited website access options.

Divi has two pricing tiers; yearly access at $89/ year and $249/ lifetime access.

If you are a website designer, then go for Divi to create and customize unlimited websites with lifetime access. Also, you’ll get Divi theme access with all other elegant themes with this lifetime package.

 

Which is the winner, Elementor or Divi?

It’s time to share my final Verdict now and what do I recommend the most.

I think both page builders are incredible and come with an extravaganza of features, modules, and customization abilities.

Which one works best for you? It’s all about the matter of preferences and the features you will need the most. If you like to include a popup builder, then go with Elementor, and if you occasionally use A/B testing, then Divi will work best.

The second most important reason is your budget. If you are on a budget and don’t want to buy any premium page builder, then Elementor will suffice you and if you will be working on multiple websites, then Divi will be yours strongest ally in the long run.

Before locking on anyone of these page builders, play around to find out which one works best for you.
