Elementor Pros and Cons
- You can immediately see the changes you make thanks to the visual builder interface
- You’re working with some of the best design templates available
- It works great with most WordPress themes
- There’s a learning curve when you first use the tool
- There are some issues with their landing page’s mobile responsiveness
- It lacks design flexibility in some areas
Elementor’s two plugin plans include “0 One credits” — and credits are what unlock AI generation, image optimization, site accessibility, cookie consent, and email deliverability. So on Essential at €5 and Advanced Solo at €7, that entire half of the feature list is not gated behind a higher tier; it is simply switched off. Elementor’s pricing page is really two products side by side, and the €5 headline belongs to the smaller one.
- What it is: The most widely used website builder plugin for WordPress, now also sold as a hosted all-in-one platform.
- Best for: WordPress users who want visual design control, and — on the One plans — hosting and optimisation bundled.
- Pricing: Essential €5, Advanced Solo €7, One €15, One Agency €36 per month billed annually. Verified July 2026.
- The honest catch: Custom code and CSS, popups, and eCommerce features are all excluded from the €5 plan.
What Is Elementor?
Elementor is the drag-and-drop editor that made WordPress design accessible without touching a theme file. Its Theme Builder, dynamic content, and form builder let you construct headers, footers, archives, and templates visually, and it has become the default recommendation for anyone who wants design control inside WordPress.
The 2026 page splits into two families. Editor Pro plans are the plugin: you bring your own WordPress hosting and get the editor. All in one web creation bundles hosting, AI generation, image optimization, accessibility tooling, cookie consent, and email deliverability into a single subscription measured in “One credits”.
A 30-day money-back guarantee applies across the range.
How Elementor Works
- Two product families — the plugin, and the hosted all-in-one platform.
- Credits are the third meter — 0 on plugin plans, 25,000 and 350,000 monthly on the One plans.
- Sites ladder — 1 site on Essential and One, options up to 25 on Advanced, unlimited on One Agency.
- Widget counts differ — 57 on Essential, 85 on every plan above.
- The One plans state their renewal price on the card itself.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans.
Elementor Pricing
Captured from Elementor’s pricing page in July 2026 on the euro price list with annual billing.
| Plan | Year one | Renewal | Sites | Credits/mo | Custom CSS | eCommerce |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | €60 (€5/mo) | €60 | 1 | 0 | No | No |
| Advanced Solo | €84 (€7/mo) | €84 | 1 (3 and 25 available) | 0 | Yes | Yes |
| One | €180 (€15/mo) | €228 | 1 | 25,000 | Yes | Yes |
| One Agency | €432 (€36/mo) | €540 | Unlimited | 350,000 | Yes | Yes |
What actually decides your plan:
- Essential cannot do custom code or CSS. For a design plugin aimed at people who want control, that is the most surprising exclusion on the page — along with the Popup Builder and eCommerce features. Essential gives 57 widgets, the Theme Builder, dynamic content, and forms. Anyone who expects to write a line of CSS needs Advanced Solo at €7.
- Zero credits means zero optimisation features. Both plugin plans show “0 One credits”, and Elementor states that credits unlock AI generation, image optimization, site accessibility, cookie consent, and email deliverability. Those are not tier-gated features you could buy up to — without credits they are unavailable, which is what separates the two families.
- Elementor prints the renewal price, and you should read it. One is €180 in year one and €228 a year afterwards; One Agency is €432 then €540. That is 27% and 25% higher respectively. Stating renewal on the card is genuinely uncommon — several vendors in this category advertise a first-year discount and leave you to discover the real rate — so credit where it is due, but budget from €228.
- The two plugin plans have no promotion at all. Essential and Advanced Solo carry no strikethrough, so €60 and €84 are the standing rates rather than introductory ones.
- Elementor values its own bundled components. The One card lists image optimization at €60/yr, site accessibility at €120/yr, and email deliverability at €60/yr — €240 of stated value inside a €228 renewal. That is Elementor’s own valuation rather than an independent one, but it is at least an arithmetic claim you can check against buying those tools separately.
- One Agency is the agency answer. Unlimited sites and 350,000 monthly credits — 14 times One’s allowance for 2.4 times the price. If you build sites for clients, that ratio is the argument.
Who Should Use Elementor
- WordPress users wanting design control. The clearest case, and why Elementor became the category default.
- Agencies building client sites. One Agency’s unlimited sites and large credit pool is priced for exactly that.
- Small businesses wanting one bill. The One plans fold hosting, optimisation, and accessibility into a single subscription.
- Anyone needing accessibility and cookie consent. Both are bundled on One rather than bought as separate plugins.
It fits poorly for non-WordPress projects, where Webflow or Framer are the right tools; for people wanting to write CSS on a budget, given Essential excludes it; and for high-performance hosting needs, where WP Engine is the specialist.
Honest Pros and Cons
Strengths
- Renewal prices printed on the card, which much of this category hides.
- A genuinely cheap entry point at €60 a year for the plugin.
- The most mature WordPress editor, with the largest template and add-on ecosystem.
- Accessibility and cookie consent bundled on the One plans.
- Unlimited sites on One Agency, priced sensibly for agencies.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee across the range.
Limitations
- Essential excludes custom code and CSS, plus popups and eCommerce.
- Plugin plans get zero credits, so the optimisation suite is unavailable.
- One renews 27% higher than its first-year price.
- Two product families on one page makes the €5 headline misleading.
- Only 57 widgets on Essential, against 85 everywhere else.
- You still need WordPress hosting on the Editor Pro plans.
Elementor Alternatives and How It Compares
- WordPress.com hosts WordPress itself, with its own block editor rather than Elementor’s.
- WP Engine is the managed-WordPress host you would pair with an Editor Pro plan.
- Webflow and Framer give designers more control outside the WordPress ecosystem.
- Wix and Squarespace are the all-in-one builders that require no WordPress knowledge at all.
- 10Web and Duda target agencies managing many client sites, 10Web on WordPress specifically.
- Hostinger bundles cheap WordPress hosting with its own builder.

The Verdict
Elementor earned its position as WordPress’s default visual editor, and on the design side it deserves it — the Theme Builder alone removes the need to touch theme files for headers, footers, and archive templates. What has changed is that the pricing page is now two products, and reading it as a single ladder from €5 to €36 will lead you to the wrong plan.
The plugin plans include zero One credits, and credits are what run AI generation, image optimization, site accessibility, cookie consent, and email deliverability. Those features are not something Essential has less of; they are something it does not have. And Essential also excludes custom code and CSS, the Popup Builder, and eCommerce features — which for a €5 design plugin is a real constraint, not a nudge. If you want to write CSS, Advanced Solo at €7 is your floor. If you want the optimisation and accessibility layer, One at €15 is.
Then read the renewal line, which Elementor deserves credit for printing. One is €180 in year one and €228 a year thereafter — 27% more — and One Agency goes €432 to €540. Several products in this category advertise a first-year rate and let you find the real one on your second invoice; Elementor puts it on the card. Budget from the renewal figure, note that the two plugin plans carry no promotion at all so €60 and €84 are simply the price, and if you build for clients, compare One Agency’s unlimited sites against per-site licensing before anything else — 350,000 monthly credits for €540 a year is where its economics actually make sense.
FAQ
How much does Elementor cost?
On the euro price list captured July 2026 with annual billing: Essential €5 per month (€60 a year), Advanced Solo €7 (€84), One €15 (€180 in year one, renewing at €228), and One Agency €36 (€432 in year one, renewing at €540). The two Editor Pro plans carry no introductory discount; the two One plans do, and both state their renewal rate on the pricing card.
What is excluded from Elementor’s cheapest plan?
Essential at €5 a month excludes the Popup Builder, custom code and CSS, eCommerce features, AI generation, image optimization, site accessibility, cookie consent, collaborative notes, email deliverability, and site management. It includes 57 widgets, the Theme Builder, dynamic content, the form builder, and 10 cloud templates for one site. Advanced Solo at €7 restores popups, custom CSS, and eCommerce.
What are Elementor’s One credits?
They are the usage meter for the hosted platform’s optimisation features — Elementor states that credits unlock AI generation, image optimization, site accessibility, cookie consent, and email deliverability. The One plan includes 25,000 monthly credits and One Agency 350,000. Both Editor Pro plugin plans include zero credits, which is why those features are unavailable rather than merely limited on them.
Does Elementor’s price go up after the first year?
Yes, on the One plans, and Elementor says so on the card. One costs €180 for the first year and renews at €228 a year — 27% higher — while One Agency costs €432 then renews at €540, 25% higher. The Essential and Advanced Solo plugin plans have no introductory discount, so their €60 and €84 rates are what you pay every year.
Is Elementor better than Wix or Squarespace?
They solve different problems. Elementor is a plugin for WordPress, so you keep WordPress’s flexibility, portability, and plugin ecosystem — and you take on managing hosting unless you buy a One plan. Wix and Squarespace are self-contained platforms that are easier to start with and cannot be moved elsewhere. Choose Elementor if you want WordPress; choose the others if you would rather not think about WordPress at all.

Elementer pro price and sometimes it takes too much time to load
It is making easy to design a custom website according to your need and it is very easy to use. I am using WordPress from 3 4 years and it helps me to generate good amount
The most I like about Elementor is the possibility of creating beautiful website designs in a very visual way and the tons of widgets available, both self and third parties.
I think that the design process still has a lot of room to be improved because there are several performance issues and also a confusing way to describe what every widget does.
Elementor gives me creative freedom when designing a new website, with tons of widgets that allow me to display content of any type without needing to write a single line of code.
Elementor always provides the best experience to WordPress developers through its customising features. Elemetor also provides prebuilt templates and blocks so developers can easily import and modify them according to their needs. Elementor also provides a responsiveness feature, which makes its so better and unique from other WordPress page builders.
It makes your code so complicated,s so that if you want to add some more features by using code, developers have to take much time to understand the elementor code, and then the developer can modify the code
By using Elemetor, I have designed my website pages within a few hours, that takes more than one week if I am designing them using scratch code. also, by using of element or make responsive web pages is also so easy and beneficial and saves so much time of developer
The blocks make it easy for us to build out pages without coding knowledge
Too many clicks to get something updated
We no longer have to pay an outside agency to maintain our website
What I enjoyed the most about using Elementor was how easy it was to figure out. There's nothing worse than having a steep learning curve. That's definitely not the case with Elementor.
Honestly, I can't think of anything that I didn't like about Elementor.
Elementor takes most of the overwhelm out of building webpages.
It's pretty intuitive and anybody on the team can pick it up and use. There's also many free features which makes it great access for us and the team. We used to recommend this to our clients who needed to know the best and basic landing page builder they could access. So Elementor was the program to use - especially since it works with WordPress.
For some more complex things, it involves code...which is really difficult to follow from their supporting documentation. It gets complex and we need to loop in our technical specialist which delays projects further. I wouldn't say it's the most easiest documentation to follow.
It's solving the need/want for a basic landing page that can be built easily with drag and drop tools. It's benefiting us with time - as there's not much time involved to create a page or website. It also benefited us with our clients who wanted a program that could do it all with WordPress.
With Elementor I have been able to create everything I could imagine for my client's websites, both visually and functionally. It is the ideal complement for web developers who want to have complete control of their sites.
Despite the evolution that Elementor has had with each version, it is still a visual builder that adds a lot of weight to the loading time of a website. So it necessarily requires additional optimizations to be fast. Additionally, some updates can create problems that force you to wait for the next version.
Elementor helps me build websites on WordPress that require special layouts, custom post types, features, and specific integrations that I couldn't achieve with simple themes, or with WordPress default features.
I've been using the elementor plugin for a few years now and I'm really happy with it. It helps me create beautiful website designs in just a few clicks.
I love this plugin and the styling options it provides. I have a million things that I dislike about it. It doesn't work with my theme, the editor is buggy, I can't style my images, and so on.
Elementor has been a life saver for my team. We spend most of the time doing more tedious tasks like designing our website in Photoshop and then having to switch to HTML to implement the design--a huge waste of time. With this plugin, we can now do all of our work right in Elementor, saving us hours on end!
Elementor was my first foray into WordPress page builders. The top two contenders in this space, when I was shopping, seemed to be Divi and Elementor. Based on the feedback I saw in the respective communities I chose Elementor. It's great at what it does. It makes website building simple and fast. You can start from scratch or easily import Elementor templates. The developers are constantly pushing out upgrades and improvements. So far I've been very satisfied with Elementor.
I have not personally had much difficulty in this area, but inside the Elementor communities, there are frequent complaints that upgrades/updates will "break" otherwise functioning sites. But this is always a hazard with most any software. The remedy here is to be sure to make reliable backups before performing any updates. Also, there are complaints regarding the Elementor support response time. However, I've only requested support a few times and my issues were resolved very quickly. But I think solid, responsive support is essential to customer satisfaction. So this is something you should research before committing to any product, Elementor included: what is the reputation of their support?
As a page builder, Elementor greatly improves the WordPress design experience. Elements can be dragged / dropped into place. Elements can furthermore be copy-pasted as well. You can save elements and even complete pages as templates to easily access later. It is also very easy to preview webpages on various devices: desktop vs tablet vs phones. Since Google page-ranking is very much mobile-first these days, being able to quickly toggle between the various device layouts is a great feature.
The best feature is the Drag and Drop feature. I just need to drag and drop the elements block I want to use in my website. Elementor is a block-level website builder. Even blocks have their own custom settings like height, width, color, margin, padding, and many more. Elementor has also animation features, no need to do custom coding for animation pre-built settings are available to apply animation on element block. It's user-friendly and easy to use. It has a great support system. And the best feature I love the most is LottieFiles support.
The only thing that I dislike is that Elementor doesn't create an optimized website. It creates a bulky website with takes time to load. I have to install Plug-ins and do custom coding to optimize the code for great performance. Other than this I have nothing to dislike.
In our organization, we use Elementor to build WordPress themes. It helps us to build a WordPress website quickly. Its drag and drop feature helps to do theme development fast. Even our teammates without coding backgrounds can create stunning websites like a professional. Elementor has he'll lot of features to use. It also provides the advanced settings of each element block for customization. Sometimes we do have to create a website from scratch we use the Elementor theme and modify it as per the client's requirements. It's a time saver website builder.
I like the features offered by Elementor for free for creating websites, elaborate pages in the Pro section and blocks section with many free options. Quick installation in WordPress, start creating a free website with blocks, drag and drop, I have no need to write HTML code.
Elementor is very stable, I have no problems currently, I like all the built-in features.
I have different websites and build each one with Elementor tools by block section, sync with my email account Elementor account.
I love the many different options that Elementor provides. It is super easy to use other than a few quirks, but overall I really like using Elementor to build pages.
The code is heavy and bulky so making fast web pages can be difficult. I spend a lot of time just working on page speed. There is also a weird conflict when trying to keep fonts consistent throughout the entire site. It is weird and not sure why this happens. There can also be some glitches from time to time but I can manage this without major issues.
I mainly try to build web pages that look nice and that are easy to create. I have realized that Elementor provides this ease of use and creating pages is super easy and kind of fun actually.
Elementor is by far the best and most easy-to-use WordPress page builder I've ever used in the past 6 years of designing websites. The compatibility with almost all major WordPress plugins and features is my favorite feature of Elementor. It is a really robust tool that is fairly flexible in terms of building different designs and features. Another thing is that there are countless add-ons and templates built for Elementor now that give it an edge over any other tool of the same type. I've designed a lot of websites using Elementor and it has been my go-to page builder for all of my web design projects on WordPress.
There are a few things that I dislike about Elementor. - Lack of flexibility in the widgets in terms of design and features. You are limited to the things included and more high-end or custom designs are almost impossible to implement without custom code. - Using Elementor on a page slows down the page quite a bit as Elementor loads a lot of javascript and redundant CSS. I feel they can work on improving this as other competitors are already doing it. - There are very limited interactions that you can build on your website using Elementor. Only a few basic entrance animations and motion effects are available as of now.
Elementor has helped me build fantastic websites and landing pages really fast. It is a super easy-to-use tool even for my clients to go in and edit the content and images on their site. I have built more than 100 websites for clients in the past 6 years using Elementor; ranging from simple one-page sites all the way to complex e-commerce websites. It has been a really helpful tool to build custom-designed websites on WordPress. Now I can't imagine a life designing websites on WordPress without Elementor.
If you are hate coding, then it is good for you to design web pages with different variants. You can learn new skills to design a better website. Easy way to handle. Elementor can give you better solutions for your websites. There are numerous plugins available to fasten elementor. Or else you can try elementor pro or a paid version compatible with all WordPress sites.
In my opinion, it is not bad. If you are concerned about page speed insight, it is a bit slow while loading. But you can use plugins to speed up your site. Other features like there are not having many premium themes like its competitors, Divi is providing better.
Speed loading is the problem.The main downside is this type of page builder creates more bloat and unnecessary code in the HTML portion of the sites pages. Benefit is for none technical person who is not aware of coding they can build page easily It can reusable and you can edit very faster way.
Drag and drop elements that are included in the plugin.
Pricing is high as compared to past pricing
I am able to design my website easily with the help of elementor plugin.
It has intuitive drag and drop features which is great for even newbie to create their pages themselves. No (or minimum) coding is required to use Elementor.

I dislike them because they don't give support without premium user One day I just knocked on the elementor support for a problem, and they told me that they not give support with out premium user
Elementor has a lot of problems Sometimes we can't edit pages it loads and load for a lot of time if the internet slow the changes are not save properly That's it only
easy to install and use. Lot of domain vendors provide a direct port to elementor and ready elementor templates like hostinger wix etc. Innumerable availability of templates is the best part
lack of control on elements. Need some knowledge and understanding of plugins to start with Elementor. Many HTML complex elements are lacking from the free tier
Fast website building. Ready to use website templates. Restaurant websites & menu builders. Elementor plugins and templates allow the creation of websites from all industries and fields.
How easy to use and how it is user friendly even for a beginners in WordPress it will be super easy to use and design the desired theme or layout for any website
How some features are not free and most of the editing tools which will be needed eventually is only aid for pro eliminator subscription other than that it is great
making some tables and dividing the required page in the website for, I realized it will solve my issue by doing some search online and the first thing that popped up was eliminator
Elementor allows us to customize every content of the website and everything. Like, we can edit text, we can give them styles, shadows and we can also add animation to it. That's not it; It has some pre-made beautiful free templates of web pages through which we can create a website in just 5 mins. Elementor works almost on with every themes. We can also make a beautiful website by starting with a blank page and dragging and dropping elements with the help of Elementor. It doesn't require any coding knowledge.
The price of the pro version for one website is costly. We cannot purchase the pro version if we are not professional as we will use it on only one website, and the price for that is very costly, so that we will go for a 25 website plan. Still, as we are not professional, we don't have 25 websites, so it's a waste of money.
I am using Elementor to customize my website. I give a new look to my website every month, and that doesn't take much time. As I am using it on my news website, I am using it for placing Google ads on the website.
I use this tool for my business and for my clients as well. I like that I can focus on the content and the design without having to worry about the technical side of things. This saves me a ton of time and allows me to get creative.
The price of the version recently went up, and it became a more expensive but equally valuable investment.
I don't have much coding experience, so I was thrilled to find this visual editor. It was really easy to use and I was able to create all sorts of different pages and website layouts, not just for my landing pages, but for my eCommerce store and even for my blog.
Just few knowledge required for manage our website content and overall design. Elementor is best and only page builder I use it's very simple to use and within few click we easily create our brand new website & also redesign website.
Elemetor is profesional way to create create our website. We decorate our website few technical skill required for mange website. My overall expectations always fulfil by elementor that's the main reason I cannot dislike anything about elementor
Multiple benifit we already relized with elementor. Premade themes and templetes helps us to create great multipurpose website. So it's save our working time with one plugin.
Elementor is a WordPress plugin that is well designed and has made building websites so much easier. It has made editing and managing a site a breeze! I have been able to save time working on my blog WordPress pages and posts with this plugin.
It is a bit more resource-intensive than some of the other options, but it does have a lot more features than most of the other ones. Wish you could buy a lifetime licence as opposed to a yearly fee
I like this plugin because it allows me to create and edit a website, in a drag and drop format, rather than code. I managed to create a whole new website, in less than a day, for a new business venture I have started.
If you're a designer or take a design-centric approach to building websites that are as close to pixel-perfect as possible, Elementor is a great tool to have! It has more support than just about any other page builder on the market. There are also a lot of addons and templates available to help you get the job done faster and easier than all of the competing products that I personally know of.
You have to go easy on the bells-and-whistles when building with Elementor because of the extra code (also known as "bloat") that gets added to the page. This will also affect the page speed load time - especially on mobile. Also, I find that the form builder has issues at times when connecting to MailChimp. I've also had a few problems over the years with form results in general not being sent to me (or disappearing altogether). Because of these two issues, I no longer feel comfortable using Elementor forms for my contact page or for list building. I now use a 3rd party plugin (Gravity Forms for the Contact pages and CovertPro for list-building)
Elementor helps me design and build complete websites (regardless of niche) quickly and easily. Elementor is the perfect tool if you really need to get the design done RIGHT and get it done on a tight deadline. Elementor makes it easy to copy and paste styles and page elements which eliminates what would otherwise be a lot the manual "clicking around" to get the settings in place.
I will say without any hesitation , to me Eementor's user friendly interface, (drag n drop) is the best feature of the software by far. It gives you the freedom to drag and drop your widget on your web page almost in any position you requre it ,making it so versatile to use,
As you gain more experience, you see that the basic free package will only build a very basic website, which leads you to want the pro package. While there are many free third-party add-ons, they tend to be slow loading and carry a further learning curve: the fact that you can only buy a subscription for the Pro package instead of purchasing the software outright is somewhat disappointing.
The benefits I have realized with Elementor are many, including the time saved with my website design, but mostly being able to edit product pages quickly in a visual context.
Ability to customize elements and sections for mobile devices without any coding
PRO version is expensive. missing some basic features like header and footer in the free version
No coding skills are required. Faster web designing.
