There are many page builders out there, but we focus our article on Beaver Builder and Elementor. Both of the builders work under the WordPress theme and are popular builders amongst website developers. Beaver Builder is popular due to its ability to be developer-friendly, giving clean real code outputs.

The updates are also very timely, making it a usable builder as tested on over a million websites. Both Beaver Builder and Elementor allows the users to drag and drop elements on the page builder, which creates the front end of a WordPress website without the need for sophisticated coding knowledge and manipulation.

The great thing about the builders is that there is no need for writing HTML codes, and merely dragging and dropping elements such as buttons, horizontal bars, text inputs, colors, and much more, can build a website in minutes.

Beaver Builder vs. Elementor

The Beaver builder is very functional as it does not load functions or JavaScript’s which are unnecessary. The builder does not have to take over your operating system, as Elementor does.

So, when you are not interested in using Beaver builder anymore, you can easily remove it and get back your website in a static page template. Beaver Builder is also easy to set up compared to Elementor. Creating and using the modules are also quite easy.

It is quite easy for those clients who are restricted with their documentation and usability needs. The developer team from North America is quite active in the WordPress community.

Elementor vs. Beaver Builder performance

The community and users have ranked the performance of Beaver Builder and Elementor, both 5 out of 5. The user interface is quite simple with Beaver Builder in comparison to Elementor. The text editor is a pop-up feature in Beaver Builder.

Users have complimented that the Beaver Builder is comparatively more stable and reliable compared to Elementor. There is no need to scroll down to search for an element to drag and drop, which is the case with Elementor.

Although it may seem like a minute difference, it does allow users to feel more relaxed when working with Beaver Builder.

Beaver builder standard vs. pro

There is a total of four versions for the Beaver Builder – Lite, Standard, Pro, Agency. While the Lite version is free, it comes with limitations, which is why the Standard version will remove some of those limitations and is suitable for someone who is not a beginner.

The standard version does not have the builder themes, nor does it have multisite capabilities. The pro version has all of the standard features plus themes and multisite capabilities. Hence, the professional will be happier to work with the Pro version rather than the Standard version.

OceanWP Beaver builder

OceanWP Connect works as an add-on for the Beaver Builder. It is compatible with the Beaver Themer and has three functionalities. It can create a full-width Themer layout as well as supports different areas of the layout parts and supports the theme’s Header/Footer.

Which is better- Elementor or Beaver Builder?

When comparing Elementor with Beaver, there could be a slight marginal win for Beaver due to the simplicity, user-friendly interface, and quick functional capabilities.

We found that Beaver Builder is best when there is a need for multisite integration or if there is a need to offer clients the white-label feature to make a convenient website. Also, Beaver Builder does not need much scrolling to access its wide variety of content widgets.

However, in terms of cons, the standard license does not offer theme and Multisite Support. Elementor, on the other hand, has a reputation for being beginner-friendly, especially the Pro version comes at a lower price compared to the Beaver Builder Pro version.

There is a wide variety of content widgets and templates as well as colorful user-interface. However, the interface needs to be more intuitive and fast for users who want to get the work done fast.

So, if you are a newbie, you may find Elementor the best page builder. In contrast, if you are a professional working for multisite integration, you may discover Beaver Builder as the best page builder.

How much does Beaver Builder cost?

First is the Lite version, which is entirely free. The next version is the standard Beaver builder version, which costs $99 but has limited features. The Pro version comes at the cost of $199 while the fourth and the final version Agency comes at $399. The Agency version is best for marketing agencies as it gives full-feature capabilities.

Is Beaver Builder free?

While the Beaver Builder Agency, Standard and the Pro version are not free, the good news is that there is a free version of Beaver which can be used by anyone. The free version is called “Beaver Builder Lite.” It can be found from the WordPress website as a plugin. The free version enables the user to navigate easily throughout the menu of options.

How do I use Beaver Builder plugins?

To use the free version of the plugin, simply download the plugin from the WordPress website or upload the files on the server at the address – wp-content/plugins. Once the plugin is activated, go to the Settings page to configure the post types you like. On the edit page/post area, there will be a newly appearing tab. On the front end of your website, there will be a builder option in the WordPress Admin Bar.

Does Beaver builder work with any theme?

Yes, Beaver Builder is compatible to work with almost any theme. However, some themes work better than others. Beaver Builder can give you complete control to make changes on your websites such as adding rows, images, sliders, and more.

While you will get full power, some themes lend better to the plugin. As a professional willing to give the best customer service in website building, you may want to keep your options open with other builders such as Elementor rather than getting slow or stuck in some themes with the Beaver Builder.
