Jupiter vs Minimog comparison [2025] 💥
JUPITER THEME (Minimog vs Jupiter)
We start in this Jupiter vs Minimog comparison with the Jupiter Theme which does not automatically mean it would be better. This Jupiter review will show you what a great theme Jupiter is. With 168.104+ sales the Jupiter theme of Artbees from the start in 2013 has been one of the best-selling WordPress themes at ThemeForest. Apart from the fact that it has been in the top for almost 7 years, it has a beautiful 4.75 star rating. More than 5,000 reviews were issued at the start of [2025], which means that practically all buyers are extremely satisfied with the theme they have purchased. Jupiter not only has everything to be able to build a stunning website, it was built on speed. The pages load very quickly and it has a good SEO.
Artbees is steadily continuing to improve this theme and provide more demos. So the totally new version Jupiter X was recently released with lots of new gadgets and now supported by the Elementor pagebuilder. We are enthusiastic about the use of the Elementor page builder because in principle there is no better one besides the Divi Builder. Elementor also offers extra extensions that will be of great help to you when building your blog, webshop or website. The Elementor pagebuilder offers enormous flexibility and together with the Customizer tools in Jupiter X is that everything you need for your project.
Jupiter X-theme review complete list of functions
Jupiter X currently has no less than 240+ different demo sites . These are divided into 8 categories. These demo sites are built using the Elementor page builder which means that this can also be used to edit the demos. Elementor page builder is the tool for making quick adjustments and building new content.
Jupiter X comes bundled with a number of top extensions to give even more power to Elementor:
- Raven - Raven has been developed by Artbees itself to add extra widgets to Elementor with which one can adjust the header & footer without having to buy the PRO version from Elementor.
- Jet add-ons - More of the same, also the JET plug-ins add more widgets and functions to Elementor to make editing your site even easier.
Built into Jupiter X are a number of premium plug-ins - including, for example, the 3 best slider plug-ins that can be found for Wordpress: Revolution Slider, LayerSlider and Master Slider, and the Bakery pagebuilder.
Header, footer and page content can easily be adjusted with Elementor. The same goes for the portfolio and blog pages thanks to the Elementor widgets that were added via the add-on plug-ins. The Worpdress Customizer is used for all other types of adjustments such as global styling, single blog pages or Woocommerce shopping pages.
Importing templates
We will now import one of the demo sites we discussed above in this Jupiter X review. After installing the Jupiter X theme you immediately install the required and additional plug-ins via the installation wizard.
Via the Template Area (Jupiter X >> Templates) you can quickly import a demo website by clicking on "import" and then selecting your desired demo. It is possible to preview the demo first.
New Elementor widgets and templates
Another advantage of the bundled Elementor extensions of the new Jupiter X is that you get a lot of new widgets available:
In addition, you also get new Jupiter X block templates that you can use, as well as:
Elementor Header Builder
To help you create your header, Jupiter X starts with 20 different header-templates to pick from. From there you can further customize things with your new Elementor widgets. Jupiter X supports mega menus, sticky headers, and transparent headers. And you also get the option to use different headers, depending on the device of a visitor. For example, you can choose to use a side menu with sliders on mobile devices.
Blog, archive & portfolio builder
The bundled Elementor add-ons also give you a number of widgets with which you can display blog posts and portfolio items on your website. You can use this to construct special archive pages. For example, first ask yourself what kind of content should be displayed, say blog posts vs portfolio items. Afterwards you can style the rest with Elementor and choose which elements to include such as the name of the author.
Jupiter X WordPress Customizer
For other changes we use the Wordpress Customizer with all elements installed by Jupiter. Instead of using the standard sidebar control in the Customizer, we use the custom pop-up setting frame in Jupiter X which appears as soon as you click on an item in the customizer:
Scrolling vertically can make it difficult to use the WordPress Customizer. The pop-up can be dragged across the screen so that it does not get in the way of what you are doing. The 2 most important functions in the customizer are:
Blog single layout
The first of these 2 functions is the management of your blog posts (including the archive, but adapting with Elementor) regarding layout and design. Jupiter X already comes with different choices of beautiful blog layouts. Multiple functions can be switched on and off and metadata can be added. The buttons for social sites and related messages immediately caught the eye of writer of theme reviews. These can also be turned off if desired.
WooCommerce-shop customizer
Woocommerce shop owners will be particularly pleased with the many customization options for both store pages and product pages:
Other Customizer settings
In addition to the settings for Woocommerce and the single blog page in the customizer, it naturally has many more settings such as: colors, fonts, header behavior, sidebar settings, footer settings.
The 404 and maintenance page can also be adjusted, which even makes it possible to use an Elementor template for these 2 functions. A third-party maintenance mode plugin is superfluous with Jupiter X because that function is already included.
Jupiter X page/post level check
Via the meta-box post options you get additional settings in Jupiter X if you work with a single post or page. This offers extra flexibility when working with the WP editor and Elementor. Settings that can be adjusted here include spacing, sidebar usage, adjusting the layout including its width. Switching styles, header, footer or title bar settings, related posts and social can also be set here.
Compatible with WPML
MINIMOG THEME (Minimog vs Jupiter)
In this Minimog-WP Theme review we take a look at the most important features of this theme. I can't promise it will stay that way, but the theme is currently being sold for a very low price. This theme is perfect for building webshops, especially in combination with their videos on how to set up everything down to the last detail.
Minimog Theme review: Rating
The rating of the Minimog theme is unprecedentedly high as there was no one yet who did not give 5 stars. The low price that the theme uses will certainly only serve as an introduction because the theme can compete with other top Woocommerce themes that simply demand the full price.
Minimog Theme review: 60+ Demos
Nowadays it is almost absurd to start from scratch with a website or shop. By installing a demo website, you immediately have a design that can then be adapted to your own house style. The Minimog Theme has a 60+ number of these demos. The special thing is that they are all for webshops. This is a fantastic collection of shopping demos.
Minimog Theme review: Speed
The Minimog Theme can certainly be called fast for a Woocommerce Theme. The bare theme without additional plugins with just a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this tutorial here.
Minimog Theme review: Pagebuilders
The Minimog theme uses the Elementor page builder by default, but is compatible with all top pagebuilders out there for Wordpress. I recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version. All demo websites for shops are made with Elementor and you can immediately continue working on them with this page builder.
Minimog-WP professionele shopping features
As befits a real Woocommerce Themes, it overflows with professional shopping features such as Wishlist, Product-360-degrees, Product-Swatch, Quick-View and many more. The number of features is insane and for each of them they give you a video on how to best use them.
Minimog Upsale Features
To make it even more professional, the Minimog Theme comes with a number of Upsale Features. It is of course aimed at generating more sales with your shop and winning more customers. We can now almost call this theme great. In any case, I'm already excited.
Minimog Shopping Lay-outs
Different layouts are available for both the product pages and the category pages. For the product pages alone, there are 10 variants that you can set with 1 click. No matter what style you are looking for, there is sure to be something to suit you.
Minimog Review: Mega-Menu
Because of the many categories it is often useful to use a mega menu for webshops. Mega Menu can display a lot of information, which even contains advertisements and images. Minimog offers some wonderful styles for this.
Minimog Theme Review: Mobile
Nowadays it is very important to have a well-functioning, good-looking and error-free mobile layout for websites and shops. And I must say that the Minimog Theme has also done everything perfectly.
Minimog Header-Styles
You have a direct choice of 7 different ready-made header styles and 30 different footer styles. Below I only show the headers, you can view the footers on your own site of course.
Minimog Theme review: Conclusion
It is clear that a lot is possible with Minimog. The demo layouts are very good and with Minimog one can build great shops and of course it is a pleasure to use the Elementor page builder to work with. The only downside to Minimog is that you need an extra license for every shop you want to build with it. Memberships usually deliver a lot more bang for the buck than just a single theme, like is the case with the Divi Theme. There you pay a little more, but the use of it is for an unlimited number of websites.
Minimog vs Jupiter conclusion
First of all, thank you for reading this Jupiter vs Minimog comparison to the end. Both of these themes load fairly quickly and are both great for creating web shops. Jupiter and Minimog both come with the Elementor pagebuilder free version, upgrading to Elementor Pro is definitely recommended. It's hard to pick a favorite between these 2, I put them on the same level.
The problem these themes have is that there are much better themes like Astra and Divi which are also sold at more attractive prices. Before making up your mind, I recommend that you read my best themes for [2025].
