How we grade them
| 2.0GPADiviFair | 2.2GPAMobiriseFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BGraded against its alternatives, Elementor and the hosted builders. Divi Lifetime is $249 once, less than two years at this category's middle price of $15 a month, or it's $89 a year, $7.42 a month, for unlimited sites. Hosting is extra, at partner hosts' own prices. | CThe app is free, but a site needs a server: BASE is $199 a year, about $16.58 a month, for hosting on your own domain, and KIT at $149 a year only unlocks themes in the app. That's the middle of this category. Hosting you already pay for costs nothing extra. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing is free and there's no trial. Every plan has a 30-day no-questions refund, which is generous, but a money-back promise isn't a trial: you pay first. | BThe desktop app is free for personal and commercial use, publishes unlimited sites to your own hosting or a free mobirisesite.com address, and gives 3 AI generations a month. One person could live on that; premium themes are the main thing missing. |
| Features | CA visual builder, a theme builder for headers, footers and templates, hundreds of layouts, WooCommerce modules, Divi Cloud and a site manager, with the Extra theme and two plugins thrown in. The gap is the listing's own: it needs a WordPress site, and memberships don't include hosting. | CAn offline drag-and-drop builder, publishing anywhere with full code export, AI site generation and 220+ themes and extensions in the Kit. Selling is done with cart extensions through PayPal, Stripe or WhatsApp rather than a full store. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Editing right on the live page with presets is friendly enough, but you need a self-installed WordPress site first, or a partner host selling Divi Hosting, and then there's a fair bit to learn. | CNo app store rating on record. You install it and start dragging blocks in, but you still build every page and, unless you pay for BASE, sort out your own hosting. |
| Platforms and integrations | BRuns in the browser inside WordPress, works with WooCommerce, and partner hosts SiteGround, Pressable and Cloudways sell Divi Hosting. Divi Dash looks after all your WordPress sites in one place. No desktop or phone app. | CWindows and Mac, plus Mobirise AI in a browser, which is still computers only, with no Linux and no phone app. Its connections are payment and social ones: PayPal, Stripe, WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube. |
| Best for | unlimited WordPress sites on one licence | building sites offline and hosting them anywhere |
