The elementor page builder is a fairly newer page builder being about 3 years old. The page builder offers a front end visual experience very similiar to the divi theme, so in this comparison, i will break down the pros and cons of each wordpress page builder.
Personally, I like The Divi Theme. I have used it in the past on many projects and it never failed me. The Divi theme is a great pick if you are trying to create a business website for somebody or a company because of the flexibility you have. If you are trying to start a blog or ecommerce website, i would go with elementor. The main reason why is because you have more customization options than the divi theme.

What if you are a business or web agency? I would scrap elementor PRO and go with the divi theme. I have to admit that if elementor PRO remains NON-GPL than its useless to web agencies and development companies. Some people will take that personal, but when you work with development companies every day, you know . In fact, most development companies dont like to use page builders from wordpress in general.
Plus i feel that elementor is more geared for complete beginners and not bigger agencies. No matter what anyone says, ive worked with developers and we all know that we wouldn't want to use a NON-GPL product on a large project because we are so limited. In that sense, the divi theme remains a better choice for bigger projects that need more customization. But still i like to use the divi theme for most business websites. It offers so many templates.
Both are great page builders for wordpress. I have personally used both and these are probably the top two page builders I recommend for more wordpress projects. Imagine if we were still slaves to the visual composer builder for our pjoects? I would cry! So congrats to both compaines for their years of development for these page builders! Also, there is a newer page builder called brizy coming out, if you want to know more about this new page builder you can check it out here!

I like Divi a lot, I have used Elementor but also I don’t like all the extra markup in the Elementor page source (view-source for an elementor page as a site visitor)search for elementor there is a TON of tags in the source, sure this isn’t the worst thing in the world but I think it is sloppy and hard to sort through especially seeing it so much. One thing to know is that Divi is soon overhauling their builder with an enhanced visual builder experience and their theme builder functionality is coming very soon (I think its quoted sometime before 2019, maybe and hopefully 🙂 )

I am not saying Divi is the only solution but I simply wanted to shed light for others who may not know about these features being in the works. Cheers to all!
I keep reading that Divi has too many short cuts that slow down the websites, any thoughts on that? Any fixes? Cheers’, and I love your tutorials Darrel, congrats
Divi, hands-down. Completely agree with Darrel.
