Beaver Builder vs Oxygen Builder (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Beaver Builder if

• Fits if you already run WordPress and want to lay out pages visually
• Works for freelancers who can spread a 3-site or 50-site license

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one product with hosting, since you buy hosting and a domain separately
• Not for you if you want a free plan or trial before paying
• Tight if you want AI, which is not in the $89 Starter plan
• Watch out: white labelling and priority support only come with Unlimited at $546
• Pricey if you cancel later: prices are yearly only

Pick Oxygen Builder if

• Fits if you run WordPress and want to pay once for unlimited sites
• Makes sense if you build for clients and want no seat count

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want hosting included, as hosting and a domain are separate
• Watch out: AI building needs your own agent subscription
• Watch out: the checkout link carries a limited-time 50% code, so the price may not stay
• Not for you if you are not on WordPress, because it runs nowhere else

Beaver Builder

• It runs only on WordPress; hosting and a domain are separate.
• Starter excludes Beaver Builder AI, and multisite support starts at Professional.
• White labeling and priority support are only on Unlimited.
• Licenses are priced per year and the page lists only yearly prices.

Oxygen Builder

• It only runs inside WordPress, and the site's hosting and domain are bought separately.
• AI building needs your own agent subscription; every feature also works by hand in the editor.
• The checkout link on the pricing page carries a limited-time 50% discount code, so the listed price may not stay.

Beaver Builder

Drag-and-drop page builder

A plugin for building responsive pages without code, with custom breakpoints and per-device show and hide controls.

Beaver Themer

Extends the builder to headers, footers, archives and other theme parts. It is included in every plan.

Dynamic content and Loop Builder

Content can be pulled from custom fields and post data, shown conditionally, and listed with a loop builder.

Beaver Builder AI

Generates editable pages and sections inside the builder, from the Plus plan upward.

WooCommerce support and staging sites

Shop pages can be designed in the builder, and staging and development sites never count toward the site limit.

Oxygen Builder

Visual builder for WordPress

Oxygen runs as a plugin on an existing WordPress site and can take over templates page by page, so a site does not have to be rebuilt at once.

Build with your own AI agent

Version 6.2 connects to agents such as Claude, Codex, Gemini or Cursor through MCP. Oxygen does not resell AI credits; the agent runs on the vendor's own plan.

Classes and global variables

Pages are made of native elements styled with classes and global variables, which the vendor says keeps the markup clean.

Content types and WooCommerce

Custom post types, fields and WooCommerce shop templates can be designed in the builder; the vendor's examples use ACF fields.

Local setup

A single npm command creates a local site with WordPress, Oxygen and an agent connection.
