If you are looking for the perfect website builder for your WordPress site, you are in the right place.
In this post, we’ll make a head-to-head comparison of two builders for WordPress: Elementor and Brizy. We’ll cover their main features, support and pricing.
Elementor vs Brizy
Elementor
Elementor was founded by Yoni Luksenberg and Ariel Klikstein in 2016. Today, Elementor is the leading WordPress-based web creation platform: it powers more than 7% of the internet with 10 million active installs.
It supercharges WordPress and reduces the need for other plugins.
Its AI handles your website design and generates impressive images that will catch your visitors’ eye.
Brizy
Brizy is a much more recent platform. It saw the light in 2022 and since then more than 700k websites have been hosted in Brizy.
As a relatively new service, they are still adding things. For example, their AI Website Builder has just launched. And they have a Beta Tester Program you can join to help.
Key features
Hosting
Since Elementor and Brizy are available for WordPress, they offer plans for just building your website and letting you handle the hosting.
If you prefer to have a complete solution with hosting included, Elementor has WordPress Hosting plans where you get the builder plus managed WordPress hosting. Plans start at $2.99 per month.
Finally, there’s also Static Website Hosting, which starts at $32.99 per month.
The story with Brizy is a bit different. Brizy doesn’t offer WordPress hosting, but it does offer an all-inclusive platform that offers the same building tools as the WP version but also includes unlimited Cloud hosting.
Website Builder
Elementor and Brizy help you create landing pages and multipage websites. Brizy has a third option which is “Story”, a mini-website for mobiles.
Once you choose your project, you can start from scratch, choose a template or use the AI to generate a page with minimum input.
Although both have a ton of templates, Elementor beats Brizy here with its more than 100 templates.
Design
In Brizy, making changes to fonts and colors across the site is done with a couple of clicks and takes a few seconds due to the powerful Global Styling. Its starter kit is a collection of more than 500 blocks that will help you create professional page designs in minutes. You can also switch between dark and light styles.
On the other hand, Elementor has lots of very cool design features. Thanks to its Mask tool, you can turn any element on your website, like images, videos or Google Maps, into unique shapes.
Similarly, you can design unique text paths with built-in shapes like Wave, Arc, Oval, Circle, or Spiral.
Last but not least, Elementor allows you to make your page move. If you like the idea but prefer something smaller, adding motion is also available for your text and images.
Artificial Intelligence
If we’re talking about an up-to-date tool, we have to talk about its artificial intelligence features. Luckily, both Elementor and Brizy have refreshingly powerful AI builders. Truly, they do their work very well.
With both of them, you can generate layouts, texts and images.
But Elementor also does something I’ve never seen before: it lets you generate code. Yes, you can code like a professional programmer, without being one. This intrigues me, but unfortunately, I couldn’t test it.
If you have, please share your experience in the comments!
Another important aspect of their AI builders is languages. Elementor lets you write prompts in any language.
Brizy, on the other hand, is currently working to let you seamlessly create and manage websites in multiple languages with AI.
Collaboration features
Brizy lets you invite unlimited team members in its Agency plan. With its Role Manager functionality, you can allow or limit the client’s access to the admin area of your site.
With your Elementor Pro subscription, you can also invite team members. You can add them to your website with the role of either a Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator.
Plus, thanks to its Notes feature, you can provide and collect feedback on your website by pinning comments for your team, clients, or even yourself. The notes can be seen in the Editor or the Front End for logged-in users.
Languages
Brizy’s dashboard is available in 15 languages, including Turkish, Danish, Spanish, Italian and English.
By default, Elementor and Elementor Pro use the language set in the WordPress admin. That means you’ll have an immense list of languages to choose from: Afrikaans, Azerbaijan dili, English, Spanish, whatever you want.
Integrations
Both Elementor and Brizy have the right integrations to improve your lead collection and boost sales. You’ll be able to integrate with Zapier, Mailchimp, Drip, WooCommerce and more.
Currently, Elementor has more integrations, however, Brizy promises it will add others soon. Plus, it includes Calendly on its list, which is missing in Elementor’s and it’s super useful if you offer coaching sessions on your site.
Other features
Elementor and Brizy also offer pop-ups and alert creation to use on external websites.
Moreover, Elementor has an Image Optimizer that compresses your image for WebP, PNG and JPEG so your site has a better speed. You can try it for free or subscribe to a plan for $4.16 per month.
And although Elementor doesn’t offer a free plan, they do give you a free WordPress starter theme for free. The theme comes with more than 100 widgets so you can get an idea of all the features Elementor has to offer.
Support and resources
Elementor offers users a big Help Center covering all aspects of the software, a YouTube channel updated weekly and the Elementor Academy, which is filled with courses, guides and webinars.
Support is also available via email, but only for those who are already clients. If you have pre-sales questions, you’ll be answered by a virtual assistant and after a while, eventually, a support agent will come to help. They left me waiting on the live chat for more than 40 minutes.
Brizy, on the other hand, has email support available for everyone. I contacted them and they got back to me very quickly and kindly.
Brizy also has a Help Center, a YouTube channel updated weekly and a place to suggest new ideas.

Elementor Pros and Cons
Pros
Its design features are excellent. They give you all the creative freedom you need.
And not having to worry about your WordPress hosting is also pretty great.
Cons
Elementor doesn’t offer a free plan or trial period, so you can’t test the features before committing to a subscription.
Brizy Pros and Cons
Pros
The two main incredible things about Brizy are its free forever plan and its all-in-one platform that lets you build and host a website outside of WordPress.
Cons
Since Brizy is a much more recent creation, it’s still adding a lot of features already available on Elementor.
Verdict
The choice of one over the other is difficult since Elementor and Brizy have amazing features.
I like Brizy a lot because it allows you to test it for free, no strings attached. You can even use it for free forever. Plus, its dashboard is very intuitive so you don’t have to guess where everything is.
Brizy is also open to suggestions, which is always nice to hear.
But that’s the thing, it’s still getting started with some features.
Elementor, on the other hand, although a more expensive option, I think it’s a better choice. Clearly, they have put their experience to good use and came up with a website builder that provides you with incredible design features.
