Why are people switching from Elementor to Breakdance?

Speed and performance

Breakdance's incredibly fast load times keep visitors and search engine bots happy.

WooCommerce integration

Breakdance is the easiest visual builder for WooCommerce. Period.

Powerful global styles

Build your website in a matter of minutes when you use global settings.

Flexible display conditions

Show or hide elements and sections based on anything. Literally.

Loops and Dynamic Data

Build dynamic websites visually using loops and repeaters. Connect your database everywhere.

Better and faster workflow

Searchable panels, revision history, copy-paste elements across your websites.

I just dumped Elementor on a few client sites and rebuilt with Breakdance in only a couple hours. I dropped 8 plugins that Elementor needed. Never going back.

Feature by feature, Breakdance beats Elementor.

We spent the last four years looking at every other visual builder for WordPress, with a special focus on Elementor.

Based on this research, we created Breakdance - a "super builder" that improves upon all the best functionality in prior WordPress visual builders.
We recorded 30+ videos showing Breakdance's superior functionality compared to Elementor.

People are loving Breakdance

“I love it. It's so smooth. It really shows how cumbersome Elementor can be.”

“I'm enjoying building sites again, and Breakdance does things far better than the block editor or Elementor.”

“Light years ahead of Elementor in terms of performance.”

Build better websites, faster.

Say goodbye to countless addons. Say hello to built-in features.

With Breakdance, it's probably included.

We looked at Elementor's popular addons and put the best functionality from each of them in Breakdance's core.

With Breakdance, there's no need to buy and install and bunch of addons to use essential features.

Breakdance saves you time and money. 

Many Elementor sites have a ton of addons installed.

In addition to often being the cause of conflicts with each other and problems on update, they're also costly.

Make the smart choice and use Breakdance. Save time, save money, and avoid headaches caused by addons.

Breakdance is awesome. I’ve built sites in Elementor and I’ve tried Bricks, neither come close. Dead easy, super fast, no need for lots of plugins for functionality or speed.

It's a great balance between the simplicity of Elementor for non-developers but with the power features of Oxygen for those that want them.

Headers & Footers

Breakdance Elementor
Mega Menu Builder
Build Headers & Footers
Conditions
Control where your headers and footers appear and who they are shown to - i.e. a member portal header, a logged out user header, etc.
Elementor's conditions are good enough for most use cases. Breakdance provides better, more in-depth display conditions to give you more granular control over where your headers and footers appear.
Dedicated Header Builder Element
The dedicated Header Builder element in Breakdance provides header-specific functionality such as sticky on scroll, overlay, etc.
not provided
In Elementor, headers are created using the Section element.
Sticky Headers
Can be achieved using Elementor's "sticky" functionality, although needs a bit of custom code to get the same results as you can in Breakdance.
Overlay Headers
just check a box to make your header an overlay
can be achieved in Elementor using negative bottom margin
Powerful. Time to say goodbye to Elementor.
