How we grade them
| 2.2GPAElementorFair | 2.0GPASitejetFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded against its alternatives, Divi and the hosted builders. Advanced Solo, the plan with stored forms, popups and store widgets, is $7 a month for one site, billed $84 a year. That's the editor alone: Elementor Host is $15 a month in its first year, taking one site to about $22. | CWebsite Builder Starter is $11 a month billed yearly for 1 site, between the cheaper quarter ($7.42) and the middle ($12.80). |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plugin has no time limit and builds real pages with the core widgets. But the theme builder and popups are Pro, and nothing goes live until you pay someone for hosting, since Elementor's plans don't include it. | CA 14-day trial with Team features needs no card, after which the account drops to Solo, free until you publish. |
| Features | CVisual editing with responsive controls, a theme builder for the whole site, forms, popups, WooCommerce page design and AI on the One plans. The gap is the one the listing names: it needs a WordPress site, and no editor plan includes hosting. | CA builder with AI writing, hosting and client tools, but the Starter plan has no project management or client portal and only 5 commerce products. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The editor is drag-and-drop with global styles, but first you need WordPress running on a host, then the plugin, then Pro, so there's real setup and a learning curve. Elementor Host takes out the hosting step for another fee. | CNo rating on record, and you build pages and set up client projects. |
| Platforms and integrations | BIt runs in the browser inside WordPress, works with WooCommerce and Google Analytics, and Elementor MCP connects sites to Claude, Codex and Cursor. No desktop or phone app is listed. | CWeb only, with XOVI listed and an API from Team. |
| Best for | designing WordPress sites visually | websites for agencies and their clients |

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.
