Hi Onlinepreneurs! Let me know what your thoughts are about Divi or Elementor! If you want to purchase anyone of them, I would be really happy if you use my Affiliate links Elementor Pro 👉🏼 wp.discount/elementor/ or Divi with 10% discount 👉🏼 wp.discount/divi/ 😀
I've been using Divi for my customers' website for years, since Divi 2 actually! I think this has been one of the best choices I made in my professional life. But now I must admit Elementor is ahead in term of speed and functionalities. What I do like in Divi is that it is not only a page builder but also a theme. It offers a consistent interface from the theme settings to the builder itself. No compatibility issue and furthermore, the ET support/remote access and the embedded safe mode is great for debugging. In Divi I also like the colorful UI. It helps identifying things after hours of work. I like the clean interface (I don't like sidebars) with pop-ups only when you need. I don't mind having to validate changes in a module pop-up and then save the page. It is just one more click, not a big deal. But in Divi, I do not like the "speed" of the builder and yes, they could/should have added modules that users are waiting for for years! Let's see what Divi5 will have to offer. ET says the goal is to have a solid new platform to build future functionalities, so we'll see.
Hi There! Thanks for sharing your opinion, I can totally relate to most things 👍🏻😀 Only the one more click is pretty annoying when building sites every single moment of the day for clients 😎 Than all those clicks adds up!
divi fanboy here. i recently saw my fellow webdeveloper build a popup and contact form with elementor in seconds. for divi, a similar thing would take 2 additional plugins (bloat). i think the best path for divi going forward is to get with the program - add these 2 basic features in lightning speed, admit the shortsightedness of the lifetime plan, move existing clients to annual subsciption so that the developers have continuous cashmoney coming in. Another way Divi could win here is if they make the mobile menu customization a breeze. The current mobile menu is... crappy. You can tailor and css it yes ofc, but this is time-consuming. Divi must understand: they are not the only pagebuilder out there
Hi Ziggy! Thanks for your comment. All the things you say are true, true and true. So yeah, let's hope Divi 5 comes QUICK and then Divi 6 with all new features will come before christmas. You are right, they are not the only one! Have a great day and take care. Greetings
I also purchased a DIVI lifetime license a few years ago and still use it for all my websites, even new ones. It is true that DIVI is slow in updating the latest time but I think that DIVI5 took more time then they hoped. So I think (and hope) that ones DIVI5 is there also new addons etc... will come faster in a DIVI6 version. They just don't focus on new things because the core from DIVI4 is OLD and it takes time to get it updated without breaking websites. So I still have hope for a better DIVI future...
Hi there! Good to see you again and thanks for the comment. Yeah I totally agree to that, you might be right that they underestimate the process, who knows 😃 Lets keep hoping then 😁
I have purchased the Divi, so will stay there. I hope that Divi 5 justifies my perseverance. Talking about tutorials - Advanced Custom Fields - the tutorials are awful and I have tried so many and still cannot master, especially when I want to use ACF on Divi. Matt, you are the man for this. Please give us one of your great tutorials.
Hi there! Thanks for the comment! Yeah lets hope Divi 5 can live up to the wait time 🤣. So the ACF tutorials, why are those other tutorials useless? Is it because of on how they use it or is it that you just need to know something that they are skipping? Tell me more 😊
@@WPressDoctor Matt - did not expect a reply. Let me try This is supposed to allow me another blog type. I want to display quotations as posts. All text, that I can import from a CSV file.

Hi Patrick! Thanks for your comment. Interesting about the AI! The lifetime license is with the Divi Theme. I think you are referring to the page builder plugin which you could use with any theme? Competition is indeed increasing and I hope to see that Elegant Themes uses this as fuel to speed things up 😀
Great video Matt. Elementor fan boy here. In terms of speed I've heard this new builder Breakdance is faster than Elementor. That's what Breakdance creator claimed. He build Oxygen as well. Have you tested it before? If you have, do make a comparison video with Elementor when you have the time. Thanks! 😊
Hi again! Thanks for your comment and suggestion. Yeah I know. Problem I have is that the creator also kinda abandoned oxygen for breakdance… so what gives me the certainty that he will not abandon Breakdance also… but jts still a good idea to do a VS video with both builders! Thanks 😄
I don't agree about extensions, I like Divi and I have a lifetime license but Divi can't get close to Elementor with an extensions, because for Divi you need to pay for extensions (I know because I paid for 6 packs of plugins and modules, around 300€ worth) just to find out later on that all of the extension from divi market place is a subscription, and after one year, you have no support which is okay but you don't have updates either so you are stuck with plugins you paid on the old version which is actually big security risk, that's why I'm done with Divi even though I have a lifetime license, and for Elementor you can get so many plugins that will give you all the elements you can think of and most of them are free with a paid version that you can upgrade
Hi Tonny! Thanks for your comment. Some plugins and addons are indeed subscription model, but also some (not all) lifetime products. So you are using Elementor now for all websites?
Divi has turned into a gold digger system... If you really want something good, it is beter to pay to a developer to do it for you becuase with Divi, it will take longer and probably more expensive...
Hi there, thanks for your comment. But I don’t agree. If you know your way around with Divi you can build your own website in a few hours. Also with Elementor, works fine!
@@WPressDoctor Of course sir. You are right about it. I'm just one of those lazy ones. It is very hard for me to understand complex structures. Divi has turned into something complex to me. As you said, if you know your way around, you don't need to pay a single $ and still you can have anything you need with Divi or Elementor of course. But I can't even add a filter to my products page since the last 2 months because I can't focus long enough to understand any 5+ minutes videos. I wish I could but this is my limit. I expect to see built in basic stuff for every single thing I need like filtering pages - posts - categories - products or similar things. Lately, every single app turned into "Free is here (does nothing), monthly payment with 50% features, monthly plus with %75 features monthly premium with %99 features + if you want to have extra key features you can visit our community market and pay $100 for each simple thing + AI is here but we want extra $ with subscription and with the subscription we have 5 levels, level 1 subscription has got 1.000 points for AI promts you will use, level 2 has got 3.000 points...." goes on and on and on... I just can't handle these DLC payments anymore.
Worked with Divi once, hated it. With Elementor I'd recommend avoiding addons as they can cause issues but the joke is: You don't even need them, Elementor alone already is amazing, especially if you're able to use some custom code, no need for addons.
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. That’s great advice about Elementor there, yeah it’s true, you don’t need any addons if everything works out of the box! And indeed, it keeps everything working really smoothly. Have a great day and take care!
Its true! I'm finding it so hard to transition from graphic designer to web developer. I went thru several tutorials and still cant make heads or tails of it, or i constantly needed to review past lessons. I do desire to create customized sites as i find most templates and child themes are just a tad short of what i really want to achieve... Either that or i dont know how to customize them properly and with skill! 😜 I already bought Divi and refuse to spend any more until i earn something from THAT purchase before trying out Elementor! 😝 So thanks, Matt, for continuing to churn out Divi tutotrials and tips! :)
Hi janette! Thanks for the comment. Yeah its always difficult to make the transition. You can do it! Just learn the ropes with Divi! Its not hard and you will get the hang of it pretty soon 😊
Elementor seems better but the price system they have its not good for me at the moment, specially living in South America where the prices of websites are way lower than in other parts of the world. Maybe someday if there is an offer I can actually try to build a website using Elementor. Divi in the other hand has a really good price and can make many sites with ONE license, but yea they are taking way TOO long to release DIVI 5....
Hi Carlos! Thanks for your comment. This is indeed a big difference and I can totally understand your opinion if finance is a thing. Agreed! Have a great day and take care 😀👍🏻

Hi there, thanks for your comment. That is true, I didn't touch that because both builders can do this. With or without ACF, its both possible to fill fields dynamically like titles and texts etc. Elementor is just a little bit better (more options) so that would be a 7 for Divi and 8 for Elementor Pro 😎
Hi there! Thanks for the question. That’s true, I didn’t talk about that at all. The reason is because SEO should be handled by the experts in SEO. So I always advice you to use the Rank Math SEO plugin to do this job. So it really doesn’t matter what theme or page builder you are using. For Analytics it’s the same!

@@WPressDoctorjust chipping in about Rank Math here. It once caused a huge issue with a client site, broke pages, and they did not care, let alone help at all. So I've been staying clear of them.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. For some €10 a month is a lot, for others it’s a investment to make thousands a month… it totally depends on your goals and your budget and … well all those things. In regarding to canceling, I would not recommend it. Elementor brings a LOT of updates regularly that fix security issues but also adding new features. Well worth the money. Divi is a one-time payment, so that might be more interesting for you?
@@WPressDoctor Thanks for the quick reply. By expensive I mean compared to alternatives. My clients are paying for these licences, I need to justify it. For most clients I'll find it difficult to charge such prices for these kits, when the same and more is included for almost free with Divi. Plus, monthly charges are a bookkeeping nightmare. Of course I cannot cancel subscriptions for theme and plugins. But design kits? Those usually don't need updates. Unless they become incompatible with the base system. Which could cause loads of problems anyway...
If people refuse to move on from Divi, it suggests that they are unwilling to learn new things or adapt to the latest generation. It seems like they are being lazy and content with using the same interface with limited options. Why bother trying new things when the current setup is working? It's comparable to people wanting to stick with Windows 98. LOL. Divi needs to revamp everything, IMO.
Hi Shrey! Thanks for writing a comment, really appreciate that. It could suggest that, but when (like in my case) you have already 50 clients that paid for their existing website that you maintain and host, and they are all build with Divi... than changing it to Elementor Pro would cost you more that it will make you money. So in that case... switching is not really a profitable option... But when creating new websites, yeah my choice is easily made! 😎
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yeah I have used Beaver Builder and I wasn’t impressed by it 🤷🏼♂️. There is a lot to say about it in terms of functionality but mainly I t just feels like going back in time 🙃 What is your opinion on Beaver Builder?
@@WPressDoctor Thanks for your response. I've used Beaver Builder for a long time now. It's very easy to use and not a bad builder, but like you said its kind of oldschool. I was hoping they would do some major updates, but they never came 😞I really want to transition to Elementor, but right now I have all my clients sitting on Beaver Builder. Would moving from BB to Elementor be a difficult transformation you think?
Ah yeah I totally get you. All my clients are also on Divi! So what I do here: don’t change winning teams, so if they work, they work. When you are going to build new websites for new clients, just use Elementor Pro for those 😀👍🏻 If a ‘old’ client wants a new website, then it’s time to switch. Save yourself the hassle for migrating all of them!
@@WPressDoctor Yes I totally agree. Thanks for that advice. I did build a site in Elementor before. It's not bad at all. Way more features than BB for sure. My next website redo will give Elementor a shot. Thank you again. Love your content.
Hi! thank your for this video. I currently use Divi, but would eventually change to Elementor. I have already created a few pages with divi. do you have a recommendation what to do with them? or what happens, when I use Elementor and de-activate Divi. Thank you!
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well in your case I would: 1) Start over with Elementor from scratch. So start a complete new website with Hello Theme and just start over. OR 2) Finish with Divi and wait for Divi 5 to catch up with the speed of Elementor 😀 It’s totally up to you! Just remember that mastering a new tool can take a lot of time.
Divi 5 public Alpha is almost ready to launch, as you can see on their blog… so it won’t take longer than a month for the alpha I think 😎 then beta and then final release, should be 3/4 months I hope!
@@WPressDoctor There was an automatic renewal set. My credit card was stolen, and they charged that stolen card 8 months later. I wondered how that was possible, and the answer I received was, "We emailed you about the renewal" - which is not true. Additionally, I found out that they can charge even stolen cards. According to the support response: "Kindly be advised that saved payment method details can continue to work even if the physical card has been replaced by the issuing bank with a new one. Stripe works with card networks and automatically updates saved card details whenever a customer receives a new card (for example, replacing an expired card or one that was reported lost or stolen)." Plus, I can't delete the CC number because the platform requires another CC. Elementor is trash

2) Finish with Divi and wait for Divi 5 to catch up with the speed of Elementor 😀
It’s totally up to you! Just remember that mastering a new tool can take a lot of time.
@@WPressDoctor Hi, thank you for your response. At the moment I am really not happy with Divi Speed. Do you know, when Divi 5 should come? Thank you!
Yeah it should have came out 2 years ago 😂 we are all eager for the launch, no one knows when it will be launched unfortunately…
Divi 5 public Alpha is almost ready to launch, as you can see on their blog… so it won’t take longer than a month for the alpha I think 😎 then beta and then final release, should be 3/4 months I hope!
@@WPressDoctor thank you
Elementor SUCKS!!!! They charge you even when your CC was stolen! the customer service is the worst ever and they don't have reimbrusements.
Hi there! That doesn’t sounds good. Was your CC stolen and then it was used to purchase Elementor Pro?
@@WPressDoctor There was an automatic renewal set. My credit card was stolen, and they charged that stolen card 8 months later. I wondered how that was possible, and the answer I received was, "We emailed you about the renewal" - which is not true.
Additionally, I found out that they can charge even stolen cards. According to the support response:
"Kindly be advised that saved payment method details can continue to work even if the physical card has been replaced by the issuing bank with a new one. Stripe works with card networks and automatically updates saved card details whenever a customer receives a new card (for example, replacing an expired card or one that was reported lost or stolen)."
Plus, I can't delete the CC number because the platform requires another CC.
Elementor is trash
❤❤❤
Hi there! Thanks for the love. I’m glad you liked the video! What builder do you prefer?
@@WPressDoctor I use elementor pro for build websites.
Divi also good. I will try to use divi .
Ah great!
