Which one is for you
Pick Breakdance if
- Fits if you already run WordPress and want a visual editor inside it
- Works for people who build several sites, since the free edition has no site limit
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want hosting, as Breakdance is a plugin, not a hosted service
- Tight if you need full forms, popups, dynamic data or code editing, which are Pro
- Watch out: the 1-site license counts live sites, not local or staging installs
- Watch out: the unlimited page shows $399.99 crossed out and notes a coming rise to that price
Pick Divi if
- Fits if you build lots of WordPress sites, since one license covers them all
- Makes sense if you'd rather pay $249 once than subscribe every year
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free version or trial, only a 30-day refund
- Skip it if you don't want WordPress and hosting to look after; hosting is extra, at partner hosts' own prices
- Pricey if you want Divi AI, which comes with Pro at $277 a year, or Lifetime + Pro at $297 once and then $212 a year
- Watch out: cancel a yearly membership and updates and support stop after the term
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app; it runs only in the browser inside WordPress

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
