A Curated List of 25 WordPress Page Builders (Free & Premium)

Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to comprise a list of notable WordPress page builders. I didn’t include all of them through, just those that I think are worth mentioning. But first…

What is a WordPress page builder?

A WordPress page builder is a plugin that allows you to create new pages and adjust their design and functionality in the front-end or back-end area of your website. With certain builders you can customize your whole website.

Note: the builders are listed in no particular order. There is a total of 25 WordPress builders mentioned in the table.

Here is the selection criteria for my list. I’ve only mentioned builders that:

• are not in any way related to Envato (I hate them)
• are live and have been recently updated
• are free, paid or both
• have not been acquired by other companies

Here is more info on specific columns:

• Year – this is the period of time when the builder was released, it’s not necessarily the company’s founding year
• Price – it doesn’t include special offers or introductory promos
• Installations – the number of active installations, as listed on WordPress.org directory or on the builder’s website
• Usage stats – the number of live websites using the product, according to Built With directory

Pros and cons

Here are the pros and cons of the builders I’ve personally used. There are lots of promising products on this list, but I didn’t have time to extensively use or test them all. I’ve played around with many builders though.

Elementor

Best for: website owners without advanced knowledge of coding

Divi

Best for: website owners who care about design and support

Beaver

Best for: users who have some web development skills

Brizy

Best for: users who like drag and drop, visual builders

Oxygen

Best for: web developers or web agencies

Note about Gutenberg blocks plugins

This list doesn’t include Gutenberg block libraries. These are the plugins that work with the default WordPress editor and enhance its capabilities.

If you prefer building websites using the native WordPress editor and Gutenberg blocks plugins, I recommend you the following products:

• Kadence Blocks
• GenerateBlocks
• Genesis Blocks

That’s it guys, let me know if you use any of these builders or if I missed a great one, or maybe there’s a mistake in the table. Please comment below.
