Ranking The Best WordPress Page Builders (Heading into 2022)

[@ruimlopes8340]

When ranking those builders you should also take into consideration the licensing price / model of those builders. I've worked a lot with elementor, I really like it, but it is not an option for me for building projects to my clients because of their licensing I don't want to be worried if my client will pay me an annual fee that covers the yearly license, of if the client pays it for himself. It's much better and easier to use builders with lifetime licenses.

[@NewPulseLabs]

Hey, thanks for the comment! Personally I find it hard to factor in pricing. Some people might want an LTD, whereas some people might want to pay monthly (gives them more confidence that the company will be around in the long-run). And this might be narrow-minded, but I find the pricing a non-factor when you look at the big picture. I believe Elementor is the most expensive ($199 for 25 sites), which comes out to $0.66/mth per site. It's really easy to include that in your hosting fee, monthly care plan, monthly licensing fee, or just absorb as a business.

[@GregorMima]

@@NewPulseLabs It´s really simple. What can you do in the free version. If you can´t setup a basic site, are spammed every click to buy - sorry, pay yearly for years a fee - it sux.

Honestly, this video really good. It’s good that you’ve the gear to make content because it’s clear you have a lot of knowledge. These types of vids are usually so boring. I only came for elementor and oxygen but ended up watching all of them

[@stevenlee8256]

I have bricks, oxygen, zion, I am agree with that, oxygen A, Brick C, Zion C, I prefer Zion than bricks, it's more like oxygen, but the UI still need improvement.

[@NewPulseLabs]

I think that's pretty much spot on.

[@marty.l]

Would like to see you do a follow up for 2022 and 23. Also do one for different users or audiences like businesses for lead gen and agency (web developers).

[@jugibur2117]

Great comparison, thanks, would be interesting to have a new one for 2023, with the new Updates, FSE, Pinegrow (WP Plugin) and Cwicly! I've tried a lot of these tools and I have to admit that I still miss something in all page builders, sometimes features, sometimes I don't like the workflow, sometimes the load times are too long (back / frontend.). Currently I'm also trying an interaction with WPCodeBox and Sass Partials to quickly customize things by code. But I'm not 100% happy with any workflow yet. Also an implementation via TailwindCSS and Winden seems very efficient and stable to me, at least for the layout. I also have the feeling that the number of bug is increasing more and more, because the complexity is growing more and more.

[@sulemanz9631]

Could you do a mid year update maybe with a free builder comparisons and a little more detailed ?

[@wherezthebeef]

Brizy seems much better today than when you recorded , I'd move it up. Thrive not even in the same league... nice to look back and use your review a year ago as a benchmark.

[@wimrotor]

Thx for your overview and ranking ! But the color scheme feels a bit awkward : So, green means “less preferred” and red means “more preferred”. (Was watching on small device 😊)

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks for the comment! And I agree that the row colors aren't the most intuitive (it's just a standard template everyone uses). I guess more red means more hot 😅

[@James_m7]

Can you compare/rank the Tatsu builder also?

[@pxman1946]

My view: Bricks is now a solid B and will be an A in 6 months.

[@NewPulseLabs]

It's still missing a bit for me to give it a B. Definitely a lot closer now with the query builder though, so I personally think it'll be a B within the next release or two. It needs some 3rd party addons support as well.

[@carlabutler1608]

Were you right? What is Bricks' grade now?

[@collectiveunconscious3d]

@@carlabutler1608 Bricks gonna be the real stuff soon. If they keep up with development like this I don't see how theyll not be the best one out there. Or they gotta mess up everything in a weird way. But since they actually listen to the community I think were good for now

[@mouadhboukefa560]

I love the honest intro made me subscribe in a minute. I am really sure you will do great . thank you for the helpful video

[@NewPulseLabs]

I'm just seeing this now, but thanks for kind comment!

[@YasienSarlie]

Congrats on your 1st... Looking forward to more. ps... you kept saying next year, I am hoping you meant this year 2022 :)

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks brother! And yeah :p I recorded this at the end of last year, not thinking it would take me 10 hours to edit haha

[@huhuusssssss1]

Hope to see more videos of you! Especially Oxygen! Thanks for all the effort!

[@jamorahcito]

totally agree. really hoping for zion or bricks... oxygen based on angular which is EOL as of now worries me and im sad, because it is by far the most useful. nice first vid.

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks for the comment! Oxygen 4.0 alpha seems like a decent step up. I still wonder how it'll age over the longer term, but for now I'm not losing too much sleep over it.

[@rizamoriza9931]

Thanks for video. We need more detail definition about the best. Because we have multi range of users . Which one better for newbie designer? Which for people who already understand about HTML/CSS/JS and maybe which one better for agency ?

[@agoogleuser2081]

Good video. Everyone is pretty much disappointed with Brizy. So much deception by so many youtubers that don't mention the massive flaws that haven't been fixed for years. Brizy could be really great if they fixed what they already have instead of adding new things people will never use.

[@NewPulseLabs]

I agree. And I know that the devs have probably poured their heart & soul into it, but it's a competitive landscape and they're missing the target on some key areas.

[@papaminato9269]

I would like to switch to Oxygen but i don't know any coding so i wanted to know how much time would it take to know the basics so i can make a better website then with Elementor?

[@niccolodonati]

I used Unyson for my portfolio. It seemed very very limited to me. I used it only because I bought Kerge theme and it was suggested there. However I managed to build my website in a few hours because I didn't want to do anything more than what was permitted. If you want complex designes it may not be the best choice, but if you want to do what you are meant to do with it it's pretty fast to make your website

[@nijebitno1145]

Thanks for video. :) Can I use Oxygen if I know only HTML and CSS?

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks for watching :) and yes for sure!

[@michaelmclaughlin1563]

Good start, thanks. So where would you rank these: Blocksy Kadence Cwicly and what about Webflow? Cheers,

[@NewPulseLabs]

I haven't spent as much time with the different themes, for the reasons that I ranked Gutenberg a D in the video. Blocksy seemed well built in my 10 minutes of testing it though. And if you want to avoid WordPress altogether, Webflow is definitely the way to go. I'd consider it way more if they let you self-host your sites (while still being able to use the editor).

[@UnicornRiderNarresh]

great info video. hi I am learning wordpress DIY for my website which will be targeted to property Builders in my city. It will contain listing and 360 virtual tours . which one do you suggest . Thanks Subscribed.

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks! It really depends on your skill level and what you want to build with it. If you're just starting out, Elementor or Bricks would be your safest bet. If you want to learn the ins and outs of web design, then Oxygen.

[@UnicornRiderNarresh]

@@NewPulseLabs Thanks

[@kevganhiga]

Awesome video! I have only used elementor for the last 2 years. I want to switch to Oxygen. Do I have to know how to code to use it? How much coding do you do when using oxygen? Is oxygen good with woocommerce? Thanks gor the video. Sorry for so many question 😅😅

[@udithawishvajith9334]

Nope. You don't need css for make websites from Oxygen. But if you know coding then you are unstoppable. It can do most of the things what other builders can't even think

[@NewPulseLabs]

Nope, you don't need to know how to code to use it. If anything, I've actually found that because of the kinds of sites you can build with it, it's taught me how to code more.

[@NewPulseLabs]

To answer your WooCommerce question, it's *ok* out of the box, but I find it better when paired with something like WooFunnels or CartFlows. That way you can customize the whole ecommerce experience (depending on what kind of store you're building).

[@janapanarites]

@@udithawishvajith9334 very helpful comment; thank you. I built my own website from scratch, so am comfortable coding and glad to know those skills would be useful with Oxygen. I was hoping the knowledge of coding would be addressed in this video, but you and others here saved the day!

[@PixelPumpkin]

Bang on. Sincerely, a Beaver who can just never find the time to get deep enough into Oxygen. 😅

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks! And the end of the days these are all just tools. If Beaver Builder is working for you, I don't think you need to rush to switch to something different :)

[@deanwcphillips]

[@jayallbritton919]

Nice job. You mentioned that Oxygen's advanced query is good for building Virtual Summits. I would be interested in seeing a video about that.

[@NewPulseLabs]

Thanks Jay. I've thought about even just releasing it as a template. It's not insanely feature-packed, but it's gone through a few iterations now and has worked quite smoothly. We've been using Oxygen + ACF + MemberPress. Do you run many summits?

[@plmcreative]

Really enjoyed this. Amazing start!

[@NewPulseLabs]

That's awesome. Thanks so much for the comment Paul!

[@rolandscriven6060]

Are the code block elements in elementor or bricks not somehow as flexible as Oxygen? This seemed to be implied.

[@NewPulseLabs]

In Bricks it is. But in Elementor I don't think you can actually run PHP from inside the builder.

[@NewPulseLabs]

The code snippet features they released are for showcasing snippets on the front-end of a page (aka just text styled differently), or for including code in your header/footer. No actual code block element.

[@rogermarquez1314]

Bricks felt like a different version of Elementor? I think you meant Oxygen, Bricks´ UI is a copy of Oxygen. Also, Oxygen shouldn´t even be on that list since Oxygen is NOT a page builder it´s a THEME builder! It´s on a league on its own. And, personally, Elementor is the best page builder on that list.

[@NewPulseLabs]

It felt more like Elementor because it was heavily widget based with predefined sets of controls and no class styling. As it's evolved, it's definitely swayed back towards Oxygen now.

[@thegoat_8718]

Any free Gutenberg plugins are better than all bloated and expensives page builders lets be serious. If someone is not able to build a simple website with blocks and a theme just move to another job. Kadence blocks, Utimate addons for Gutenberg, Stackable, Utimate blocks, Generate blocks and dozen more are free, fast and do the same job

[@NewPulseLabs]

A simple website, sure. But for anything even remotely more complex, I still find page builders far easier to use. You can't build the same site with Kadence that you can with something like Oxygen.

[@thegoat_8718]

@@NewPulseLabs You cant compare a 129$ minimum product to free blocks plugins, and even in this case you can easily build a site with complex headers and animation effects with any of dozen Gutenberg base blocks plugins + themes and for even more complex the pro versions are twice of the price of Oxygen. Oxygen is not really friendly if you have not CSS knowledges and not so fast as they say especially on mobiles

[@azzar0]

kadence gutenberg bro :), u should search trends more then review stuff :) but overall good video

[@akunprofessional6909]

stackable is good too
