BRIZY vs GUTENBERG
Today we are going to compare Brizy vs Gutenberg for [2024]. In this review it quickly becomes clear which is the better page builder. Both page builders have both a free and a pro version. I'll start with Brizy without it meaning it's better.
BRIZY REVIEW (Brizy vs Gutenberg)
In this Brizy review, we take a look at how Brizy only since April 2018 has had a rapid rise to one of the better page builders of the moment. The Brizy page builder currently has more than 50.000+ active installations on Wordpress websites. Brizy is available both for free and in pro version and already has more than 400+ professional layouts that can be installed with 1 click.
BRIZY PAGEBUILDER REVIEW: WOOCOMMERCE
Brizy has been perfectly prepared for a while now to build webshops with the Woocommerce plugin. I start with this theme because it is interesting for many people. Understand that in principle you should not compare Brizy with a page builder like Divi, it is still too young for that. However, Divi doesn't come as a free version, so if you don't want to spend money, you'll need an alternative like Brizy, Elementor, or Beaverbuilder. However, to use Brizy with Woocommerce you need the pro version. Check out the quick video below to see how Brizy handles Woocommerce.
BRIZY REVIEW ELEMENTS
The elements are of course the building blocks next to the rows and columns, and are therefore very important for the construction of your website. The number of elements is not really impressive at the moment, but because the page builder is still so new, we condone that. In each new upgrade there will be more and more elements. This page builder has a future in my opinion.
BRIZY REVIEW POP-UPS
For pop-ups, one always had to purchase an extra pop-up plug-in. Those times are a bit over since the top of the page builders has pop-ups in it as standard. Brizy immediately belongs to this group, even though the page builder has been around for just over a year.
BRIZY PAGEBUILDER REVIEW: HEADERS
Many themes offer this option and offer many different out-of-the-box header designs. Brizy Pagebuilder also offers you this option, which can come in handy if you are using a very minimalist theme that does not have this.
BRIZY PAGEBUILDER REVIEW: FOOTERS
What I said above with the headers also applies here. It should actually be in your theme. But if you use a free theme or a very minimalist theme that does not have this, Brizy can also adjust your footer styling very quickly.
BRIZY PAGEBUILDER REVIEW: PADDING
Padding is often something that takes a long time to get it perfect. With Brizy, this becomes super easy, as you can just drag the margin to the side to create padding. This is a great feature.
BRIZY PAGEBUILDER REVIEW: SLIDERS
There is a very good Slider plugin in Brizy by default. The plugin has innovative functions and buying a Slider plugin may therefore be unnecessary. I must honestly say that I only work with Slider Revolution when I want to build a serious slider. The Brizy slider also has the special feature that you can turn any existing block into a slider as shown below.
BRIZY REVIEW SPEED
Brizy is really lightning fast with loading times if you use a minimalist theme, such as Astra. Brizy is, as far as I know, the only page builder built on React, Facebook's Javascript Library. This is brand new and the cream of the crop in coding. This not only makes your websites load very fast, but also the page builder itself works very quickly and smoothly.
BRIZY MARKETING APPS
If you enjoy using any of the following marketing apps pictured below, you'll probably be pleased to hear that they integrate perfectly into Brizy. You do need to purchase the pro version.
BRIZY PRICING
Brizy has very decent prices. First of all, there is a free version. What is immediately noticeable is that you get 1 to 2 years of free hosting in the Brizy Cloud for an unlimited number of websites. This can be called unique, a wonderful offer and of course you save a lot of money.
Brizy has of course much more to offer because they have thought of practically everything and this is a real top page builder. A few features that we haven't discussed here include Undo/Redo, Auto Save and Shape dividers like Divi has and more. If you are interested, take a look at Brizy's own site via the button below. Everything is explained in detail there.
GUTENBERG (Brizy vs Gutenberg)
In this Elementor vs Gutenberg comparison we now continue with Gutenberg which is not an easy task as there is little good to report. When Gutenberg was just out, I was shocked. Where was the Wordpress editor? It is then thought to be an improvement and is trying to work with it. I quickly found out it was the biggest mess possible. What a disappointment. In this Gutenberg Wordpress editor review for [2024] we look at whether more people are not happy with this and what the future holds.
Gutenberg editor Ratings
For starters, on the plugin page itself, let's see what the ratings are for it.
An average rating of 2 stars. Of the approximately 3000 people who gave a rating, 2100 gave the minimum number of 1 star, if they could have rated 0, they probably would have. On the other hand, there were 600 people that gave a 5 star rating. I had to think how this is possible, but you know the internet as well as I do and it is customary to always give the maximum 5 stars even if you are not so happy to please the builders of something. In this Gutenberg review, we therefore note that the majority of people think it is a rubbish heap, just like me.
Disable Gutenberg
To get rid of the terrible Gutenberg editor, there are several plugins. We take a closer look at 2, the first is "Disable Gutenberg".
Above, it can be seen that out of the practically 500 people who rated this plugin that has been installed over 5 million times, all but 4 gave it all 5 stars, so glad they got rid of Gutenberg for good.
Classic Wordpress editor
The "Classic Editor" plugin is from Wordpress itself and will be there at least until 2024 as they apparently know for themselves that Gutenberg is no good. Apparently they think they can make something of it in a year or two. The problem will be that practically everyone has hated it by then. Well, millions of people use this plugin and its ratings can be found below.
The editor itself
On paper, Gutenberg is a WYSIWIG front-end page builder. When you use the word page builder you probably think of a Divi-like experience but forget it quickly. Gutenberg is very slow (too much Javascript) and works very clumsy. The image below gives an image of what you will be presented in the back-end and front-end, you have to do with that. The only thing that can be considered positive is that when you "paste" a large text with titles and blocks of text, the editor itself divides everything into blocks. I say positive, but some people may prefer to take control of it themselves, so it can be very annoying.

Gutenberg with certain themes
In combination with good themes like Astra or Generatepress is the worksheet a bit more attractive as shown in the pictures below. Despite that, there is still no comparison with really good editors out there today like Divi, Elementor and Thrive.

Gutenberg guinea pigs
In principle, we as Wordpress users are used to test the Gutenberg editor until after a year or 4 it can finally be used properly. Obviously this is concealed, it is pretended to be a fantastic improvement in Wordpress. Otherwise everyone would immediately disapprove of the editor, which is already the case with the ratings. People are not crazy, of course.
I will not go into all the small details, Gutenberg is completely BETA and should first be tested well for a few years without being in Wordpress. Furthermore, there is a lot missing in the editor, it is confusing, slow and not precise.
MY ADVICE REGARDING BRIZY VS GUTENBERG
First off, thank you for reading my Brizy vs Gutenberg review to the end. My advice is simple. Talking about the free version, I prefer Brizy, it's faster, fresher and has a lot more features. Frankly, I can strongly advise against Gutenberg won, it is really worthless. If you are willing to put in some expense to work with a good editor, you might as well buy the best page builder out there, the DiviBuilder, with the Divi Builder (pagebuilder) already in it. This is the cream of the crop in this area and you won't regret it.
