Checklist: comparing builder pricing tiers for real, not sticker price

Checklist: comparing builder pricing tiers for real, not sticker price

The headline price hides the number that matters: cost per site per year.
— Count your active sites — Elementor Pro is per-site; Bricks/Divi offer unlimited-site tiers.
— Check renewal pricing, not year-one — discounts vanish at renewal.
— Note what's gated: template library, theme builder, dynamic content often sit behind higher tiers.
— Factor lifetime deals against a builder's update cadence and survival odds.

Pros:
— Surfaces the per-site math agencies actually pay.
— Catches renewal traps early.

Cons:
— Lifetime deals gamble on the company lasting.

Best for: agencies running 10+ sites where per-site licensing quietly dominates the budget.
