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 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

- The 1-website Pro license counts live sites, not local, staging or development installs.
- Vendor says the price you pay is locked at renewal; the unlimited plan page notes a coming rise to $399.99.
Oxygen Builder
- It only runs inside WordPress, and the site's hosting and domain are bought separately.

Key features
Breakdance
- Visual design editor
- A drag-and-drop editor with 145 elements on Pro, a design library, element presets and a CSS class manager.
- Dynamic data
- Pages can pull content from WordPress fields and custom data, with conditions to show or hide elements.
- WooCommerce templating
- Breakdance lists design control over every page of a WooCommerce store, with the full integration on Pro.
- Forms and popups
- A form builder with multi-step forms and conditional logic, plus a popup builder, both limited to basic versions on the free plan.
- Build with an AI agent
- Version 3.0 lets any agent that supports MCP, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, create and edit pages in Breakdance.
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.

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.
