Elementor vs Divi | Which is Better?

[@uboxtech]

Me: I bought elementor pro, yeahh KZbin: elementor vs divi Me: confused screaming

[@LALINROBLES]

I think Elementor and Divi are not the same. Elementor is a complete page builder. Divi is a theme with its own page builder. If you use DIVI you are stuck with the theme, if you use Elementor you can choose and need to add a Theme. Elementor has infinite addons and complements from third party developers like Crocoblock so you can fully customize a chosen theme. Divi is almost a close theme with less addons. Elementor is far more superior for me.

[@Puna_G]

Not true. You can use divi builder in any theme. One of the negatives of divi is that if you decide not to use divi builder any more all the extra codding stays with your content.

[@MarcShare4Profit]

Logical for that insane pricing of Elementor.

[@LilMonstersYT]

Not true you havent usted Divi I see.

[@RickAnderson1]

The white elephant in the room is the coding for Divi that makes it a sluggish builder which adversely affects page load speed. for the average site this might not be an issue but for anyone interested in good seo it might be a deal breaker to the more astute technician who has a preoccupation with ttfb. Time to first byte (TTFB) is a measurement used as an indication of the responsiveness of a webserver or other network resource. TTFB measures the duration from the user or client making an HTTP request to the first byte of the page being received by the client's browser.

Each time I start with a new website using Divi It is fast but on the end when everything is finished it’s so slow and heavy. Always I have to use wordpress rocket plugin to fix this annoying loading times. It’s like the more you customize the slower it will be because the code it’s too long.

[@jonny777bike]

One thing I like about Divi over Elementor is it has a LifeTime Pro License. I think more and more I need to learn how to use gutenberg as well as html,css,javascript and php. Hopefully I can afford Elementor later on.

[@gmailtammandre]

You can't really compare Divi with Elementor because the target audience is different. There is some overlapping, but Divi is essentially built for developers while Elementor is target towards DIY users. For example, let's take the pricing. Last year I built 13 websites. I didn't pay a dime for Divi theme nor will my clients because I got the lifetime option years ago, but I would have paid $199 if I chose Elementor and for every next year my clients would have paid $49/year. So for a developer Divi is the clear winner here, while for a new DIY user Elementor might make sense as they need only the basic functions. Or let's take some of the other criteria you had. In terms of interface you prefer the left sidebar. In Divi you can put it left, right or have it as a popup. Just because you don't know how to use it, it doesn't mean it's a clear win for Elementor. Besides, a lot of developers including myself prefer skeleton mode, not visual editor. Elementor doesn't have that at all. Last but not least, you didn't even mention the core features such as Divi library (incl. import/export, global elements etc.) which is why a lot of developers prefer Divi in the first place. You also mentioned Elementor add-ons and 3rd party themes, but you didn't mention any Divi plugins that upgrade its functionality tremendously. I get it, you prefer Elementor while I prefer Divi and that's fine. However, if you make a review then it would be great if you get someone who is advanced Divi user to present its pros. Most of the videos like this are one sided. And I know my comment is pushing Divi, but if I was doing a comparison I would get an expert from both sides to state their case.

[@XJLCA]

So well said!

[@starlite7249]

Very well said i also noted that in all of his assessment he missed the very basic question that who is using these tools just a DIY guy that is only going to do this one time or a person that does this for a living each day as a Developer/Designer and with that perspective Divi should be the clear winner.

[@thebibleproof]

So glad I read this post. It filled in many gaps the author simply left out.

[@gmailtammandre]

@@hectorhrivera It depends on hosting. I've personally built identical sites in Divi, Elementor & Brizy and with a decent host there's not much difference. I haven't tried with with cheaper shared hosting, but with cloud hosting or VPS makes no difference.

[@wkmmediaservices3459]

I have built over 50 sites with Elementor and I have used both and quit using Divi because it lacked the features of Elementor. Divi is not for developers more than Elementor. Elementor has over 3 million downloads and is highly popular with developers, like myself. Divi is nowhere near as popular. Divi is slow and clumsy to work with. Elementor has tons of templates and blocks, in fact Envato Elements designed a free plugin for Elementor with well over 100 templates and hundreds of pre-made blocks. Many other themes are available for Elementor with hundreds of templates to choose from like Astra and GeneratePress, to name a few. Divi got left in the dust. Don't know where you got the idea Elementor is for DIY?????

[@gavincole8955]

Round 1 - Having trained a great number of clients over recent years in how to update their pages I can honestly say that Divi is not intuitive. The mouse-over and hover actions are confusing and slow to use. Most users are not designers. They repeatedly have to ask what each icon means and struggle to edit text. Dragging of margins/padding may seem like a good idea but I often have to fix these. I even have colleagues who regularly forget to save text edits (due to having the text dialog open at the same time as inline editing) and then complain that Divi is bugged. Elementor to me feels faster to use and I love the docked side panel. When training clients Elementor they display much more confidence using the interface and they even remember to save their edits! I have been a long time Divi fan but I see myself using Elementor more and more going forward. Edit: stupid spelling, missing word...

[@srauly]

I just bought Divi today and attempted to figure it out on my own and ran into every single frustration you identified. I’m going to watch a tutorial and play around some more, so it will probably get better, but I was shocked that such a graphical UI felt so unintuitive. If it continues to frustrate me I may have to just unhappily pay the annual fee for Elementor. Brizy shows promise but feels a bit immature right now.

@Thijs Mulder I totally agree. To me it is just venture capitalists trying to make their business the top dog to future shareholders. What I would do, is do not use it unless you need to for a specific project.

Great! I loved how simple you have presented their differences. I need not to watch another video. Subscribed!

[@avalikesinemine]

You are forgetting one major issue that Divi has. I am talking about the shortcode mess which means that if you want to switch from Divi to anything else then be prepared to clean up all the shortcode mess it leaves behind. Elementor does not have this issue.

[@gmailtammandre]

That's not really accurate. Yes, Divi does use shortcodes, but let's stick to the facts here. 1) You can't switch from one builder to another even with Elementor. Take off Elementor and install Beaver builder. None of the content gets magically into Beaver builder modules. You still need to rebuild the site. 2) How many people actually switch page builders, especially if you have Divi? There isn't much you can't do with Divi and every decent developers knows how to write custom code when needed. Even if Elementor has a feature that Divi doesn't then with the next release it's the other way around. Responsible businesses don't switch their builder over 1-2 features that are soon to come. 3) Regarding shortcodes, there are plenty of ways to remove all shortcodes. If you don't know SQL then you can use plugins. I know people keep banging on this shortcode point, but in reality it's not an issue. Besides, most websites use 10+ plugins so sooner or later you will use shortcodes anyway.

[@junaidkhankhan4260]

Right

[@jimmakos20]

Why to switch from Divi ?

[@Hein-V-ProVirBuServ]

For instance: they say you can customize your header/menu background colour for sepparate pages. Yet, when I run through their tutorial for this, the customization options shown in the tutorial are nowhere to be found in the actual divi customizer menu. Also, divi's responsive view to show what your site looks like on a tablet or phone simply does not work at all.

If it's just for a small business with a simple design Elementor would be better than Divi because it's generally easy to use for beginners. I also recommend looking up pre-made templates related to Woodturning or close to what you want. Then just edit the content inside, that way you don't have to worry about responsiveness. Also Elementor has a free option that doesn't need yearly payments but it's limited so it just depends on what you need at the end of the day. Good luck. :)

[@marcusadler5082]

I feel you should have covered page load performance as one additional point of comparison. Neither Divi or Elementor is particularly good at generating optimised page loads, but Divi is by far the worst. Given that Google has announced that page load time will be a future metric for ranking sites in searches, Divi has to be the looser all round. Elementor is definitely the builder of choice for beginners but to recommend a builder that produces bloated and slow loading sites for the more advanced is not sensible. If someone has experience there are other options that might be more challenging but should not present any issues for someone with experience.

[@theredmaster_superbee]

It is a good topic to discuss ... but deepening the web is not for everyone, we are not all interested in being experts in this, many are photographers, or designers, illustrators, modelers, publicists ... and being honest many web projects are not It requires you to be an expert, with knowledge of weights and optimization of photos, and correct configuration of hosting will be more than enough for the majority of projects where you are asked for a commercial website ... for a product or for an event or service, I think that with elementor it is more enough not to have to go asking for help from programmers who often have less notion of web design than a graphic designer because they are so focused on their world of programming and custom-made systems that ... I think yes there is a niche for each project ... elementor and wordpress is a great alternative for those who do not want to deepen the programming issue but we do need commercial websites and functional ... optimizing loads is our responsibility.

[@marcusadler5082]

@@theredmaster_superbee I agree. "deepening the web" is not the focus of my comment. I have been a code Jockey for literally decades and I avoid it like the plague when setting up websites for clients. Without proper comments and documentation, it is impossible for me to revisit a build let alone have someone else continue work. So, unless there is a specific need for some extra special functionality, deepening the web just doesn't enter into it. So, if you are looking for a page builder that has heaps of free features, free add-ons and won't overly bloat your site (impacting load times) Elementor is my pick. If you want to go deeper (having gained some experience) Divi is not the answer. There are other page builders that are just as feature packed and easy to use as Divi and will produce a much better optimised site without programming/programmers.

Elementor Pro costs 999 now for a thousand sites and the old price of 200 only nets you 25 sites. It's a no brainer to go for Divi in 2021.

[@nadvids8769]

Learning a lot from your tutorials.. really appreciate your vids☺️☺️

[@santutunga4369]

I love divi

[@matsonmedia2312]

Hi Dale... love what you do. I was hoping you can answer a question about woocommerce. Let's say I get the 3 website package for a year but the 2nd store will only be created 6months down the line. Will the second store only work for 6 months?

[@jacobwonder6735]

Maximum Price Divi Lifetime: $300 Elementor: $999/year... NO lifetime licenses.

[@mr.cardris]

exactly

[@ishrashad]

And ditto from Melbourne. I just cannot afford Elementor.

I'm working on Windows 7. I started building a website with free Elementor than tried to upgrade to Elementor Pro. They took my fee very promptly and then I found I was unable to download the Pro version as the Wamp Local site wasn't big enough. I don't want to waste the four pages I've done already with the free version. Elementor or don't seem to know how much the PHP. ini should be increased by to allow for their programme. The web is awash with videos on how to fix Wamp but I don't understand most of them. Perhaps you could discuss this in your videos. It might apply to Div as well.

When you add the Unlimited Elementor Elements plugin and the Envato Elements plugin Elementor surpasses Divi by a long stretch. The Unlimited Elements plugin has hundreds of predefined elements but more significantly you can create your own elements giving you complete control over what can be customized in each element. The Envato Elements gives you almost 2,000 predesigned pages divided up into 100+ sets and hundreds of additional blocks. While I do like the Divi interface for working with the design sets the Envato plugin wins as a tool to come up with ideas and starting points for custom sites....

oxygen builder or pinegrow if you want performance , beaver is not bad too

[@ericgarcia1912]

Divi is okay but you need to know a lot of codes because a bunch of stuff doesn’t work properly and you can only fixed them with codes, Even the google Recaptcha badges doesn’t display without writing codes, too many headaches

[@jemmajacobs8607]

Thank you, great video. I'm testing both now! Great video.

[@robbrown6495]

Hardly like with like, comparing a free builder with severe limitations to a 90 dollar a year complete system. I used Elementor free version to build 2 sites and have had serious problems with blogs and contact pages , which are both left out of the free version. Even with "compatible" plug-ins they are just way too difiicult to get right. Am I correct in assuming that a years license only restricts my ability to develop sites and will not affect the already published sites?

[@sundancer7381]

Yeah, just started with websites, but I had SSL problem with Elementor......did everything, still didn't straighten out. The home page was SSL compliant, but not Contact or About, or Blog page.

[@KitesurfingAcademy]

So much rivalry in the comments! I'd've never imagined that a video like this could spark so much controversy... It all depends on the viewer's background and there are people out there that need, use and love this video. You've got my voice for sure! Thanks for putting it together, man!

[@bryannapena6452]

Thanks for the video!

[@craigjay769]

Great info, thank you

[@Review4YouCom]

Only problem with Elementor is that its not a theme, so when creating custom headers/footers/navbars you might experience some inconvenience such as changing hover effects/colors in different places. Also custom css for html element disappears whenever you reload the page and talking about custom css - in Divi Builder you can set different css for different devices, when in Elementor you'll have to use @media to set up different values for different screens

[@buildsitego5810]

What do you use to edit your videos??

[@seanarussell]

Great review even though I could sense your Elementor bias. 🙂

[@limlyehuat9277]

hi dale, may i know where u bought the microphone. Is look awesome. Very good informative video. Newbie like me love to watch.

[@royfranc]

WP has changed my dashboard that i built with elementor, this has been replaced by Guttenberg, can i still use Elementor and where can i find this, love your vids and learning lots

[@boetteegboet9124]

Your in trouble if your asking a question like this.

[@yenodamobile1979]

What's the difference between WordPress theme to Theme builders (Elementor or Divi) Shouldn't we buy themes, If we decide to build a site with theme builders? I'm a newbie and needs help.

[@marvindiazjr99]

With theme builders you really don't need to buy premium themes anymore.

[@9090RF]

Thanks for great review. Is that RodeNT USB mic? Which microphone are you using?

[@junkle2463]

Great comparison. For Elementor you only talked about "Essential Addons" , but there are many other addon packages. I found them on www.which-addon.com. Do you know if there are addon extensions for divi?

[@LAF.2]

There are many. They cost $0 up There are a LOT of 3rd party addons

[@JNM123]

Does Elementor only work on pages and not categories?

[@sabithkumar1805]

Elementor is better than divi. E is more user friendly than D. E is more fast than D. E have more options (css) than D

[@HuGo-jd5wc]

What's better for WordPress custom typed HTML CSS js or those theme builders? I know CSS HTML js, so should I learn to use those builder's?

[@krs1476]

Depends how much time you want to save.
