Today, I am going to compare the two most popular premium WordPress website builder plugins Divi 5 vs Elementor. This comparison makes more sense with the release of Divi 5 alpha. So let’s dive in.
For Divi 5 Vs Elementor in 2024 I would choose Divi 5 and let me tell you my reasons for that:
I have been using Elementor for most of the time but recently for creating some videos I got a chance to use Divi extensively. So I used Both Elementor and Divi for good amount of time and now I am using Divi5 (The latest verion) as well.
User Interface and Experience
Both Divi 5 and Elementor offer a user-friendly and intuitive interface and experience for creating and editing your website. They both allow you to drag and drop blocks into your website sections.
Elementor is known for its cavas style editing, where you can edit every element on the page by just clicking on it. With the last release of Divi we now have similar canvas style editing. The structural approach of editing in Divi 4 is now gone. With Divi 5 we now have a clear canvas for designing.
Design Library
Both Divi and Elemetor Pro offer a huge design library, using which you can easily create a complete website in no time.
But the difference is how you can use the design library of both the website builders.
For Elementor Pro, You can import a complete page layout from the design library and design your complete page. On the other hand,
For Divi, You can not just import a single page template on your website but you can create a complete website by importing layout packs, which may consist of all the relevant pages you might need to create a particular website.
Divi got a feature of Quick Sites, using which you can create all the pages of your website using the design library or AI.
So, unlike Elementor Pro where you need to import template on each page, Divi helps you create fully functional website in just a few clicks.
AI Features
Both Divi 5 and Elementor are powered by AI. But the difference is how both uses AI in the workflow.
For Elementor the AI is mostly for enhancing the already created website or its only for website design assistance. We can generate images, edit and generate text using Elementor AI.
Here a quick overview of Elementor AI.
But, Divi AI is far ahead of that. Using Divi AI we can generate an entire website including AI generated images and content in few seconds and can do much more than that.
Pricing and Support
Pricing and support can be a deal breaker here for sure. With the recent updates in pricing you can surely make an easy decision about which one to choose.
Ok, Lets start with the pricing of Elementor pro and to understand that lets compare their old and new pricing first.
| No. Of websites | Elementor Old Pricing | Elementor New Pricing 2024 |
| 1 | $59 / Year | $79/ Year |
| 3 | $99 / Year | $199/ Year |
| 25 | $199 / Year | $199 / Year |
| 1000 | $399 / Year | $ 399 / year |
So, If you are an Agency then there is no change in the pricing. But if you are an small business owner then there is big increase in price per year.
On the other hand Divi got some simplified pricing plans.
| No. Of websites | Divi Pricing 2024 |
| Unlimited | $89 / Year |
| Unlimited + Adons | $277 / Year |
| Unlimited | $249 – Lifetime |
| Unlimited + Adons | $297 – Lifetime |
Pricing of Elementor Pro Vs Divi 5

Best value of Divi 5 is in its Lifetime plan which starts at $249 per year or $297 lifetime
Customer support for Divi 5 Vs Elementor Pro
One of the main advantage of Divi 5 over Elementor Pro is there Divi Vip support. If you are an agency managing multiple client website. There is no way you can keep waiting for the customer support to reply your ticket to fix your issue.
Divi 5 offersDivi Vip as a paid adon which allows you to get customer support within 30 minutes of posting the support ticket, which is kinda un beatable.
Apart from that if you check the TRUSTPILOT reviews of Elementor Pro vs Divi, this is how it looks:
Conclusion
If I need to choose one out of Divi 5 or Elementor Pro, Then I would choose Divi 5 now after the release of Divi 5 public alpha.
One of the main reason for that is the new feature that Divi 5 offers at the unbeatable price, Makes Divi 5 a true value for money website builder for WordPress.
