Thrive Architect vs WP Bakery Pagebuilder

THRIVE ARCHITECT vs BAKERY PAGEBUILDER

In this Thrive Architect vs WP Bakery Pagebuilder comparison, I discuss the strengths of both page builders. Thrive Architect is a relatively new page builder and quickly made it to the top. The WP Bakery Pagebuilder is installed on many more websites. Both have an inline front-end editor. Many additional plug-ins and designs are available from WP Bakery Pagebuilder. Let's start with Thrive Architect without indicating that it would be better.



THRIVE ARCHITECT (Thrive vs Bakery Pagebuilder)

In this Thrive Architect review we discuss this new acquisition in the top of the page builders. We are talking about a page builder who can measure itself with Divi and Elementor that originated from the Thrive plugin for Content Builder. This immensely popular plug-in has therefore been replaced by the page builder. Dragging and dropping this front-end WYSIWYG page builder did not suddenly fall out of the sky, although it is certainly a newcomer.


Thrive Architect pagebuilder


Install Thrive Architect in any theme and use the page builder to build your website. Thrive Architect can also be used independently, there are quite a few demo pages (325+) with which you can make a quick start or you can start building your site "from scratch". Above you can see in the animation immediately how well organized and pleasant Thrive Architect does its work. The page builder offers so many elements and settings that you have to get used to before you can work with them at full speed.

Thrive beautiful tables templates

The Thrive Architect page builder has very nice tables, there are 10+ different styles to choose from.

Thrive check responsiveness

Thrive shows you what the site will look like on mobile and tablet. Individual adjustments can be made for the different devices or you can set the widget to "off" on certain devices.

Thrive beautiful contact forms

Thrive Architect contact forms


As with the tables above, contact forms are already built into the Architect as standard. Within a few minutes you have adapted such a template to your data and wishes. It is important to disable other contact form plug-ins or remove them from your website.

De Thrive Architect user interface

Thrive Architect user interface


Despite the fact that in this Thrive Architect review we find that there are too few ready-made demo pages in their product, we must say that the page builder in itself is a true pleasure to work with. The user interface works very well-arranged, and you can work with it very precisely.

This page builder puts pages on paper in minutes if you have some experience with them. From now on, writing texts is more work than creating the website itself. The editor is full width, or uses the full width of your screen. The different toolbars can be used as a dock, the Navigator can even float on your screen.


Thrive Architect full width


You can pick up elements from such a dock or sidebar elements and leave them on your worksheet with drag & drop. The number of elements and the things that can be done with it is quite overwhelming, but well nothing can be missing otherwise we would complain about that. Elements on your worksheet can be rescaled, dragged or moved until you are satisfied. You can start writing anywhere on your worksheet, the text editor is inline and does not use the so-called screens for writing.

Thrive Architect inline text-editor


The Thrive Architect theme has the best text editor of all the elite page builders there are for Wordpress. If you want to work relaxed and earn money with your website, Thrive is a very good choice. Both Divi and Elementor naturally also offer very good text editors, that must be said.

Thrive Architect latest upgrades

In the video above you can see what has recently been improved in Thrive Architect. Thrive does not stop improving its products and their page builder is so good right now.

Revision manager

Thrive Architect Review Revision manager


The Thrive Architect revision manager has the unique feature that you can use undo and redo via buttons on your PC keyboard. The revision manager also works just like that of Divi and Elementor. You can use it continuously to earlier times when you saved work. You will never have to do anything new again, all your work will be saved.


Thrive Architect options and settings

Thrive Architect Review options and settings


On the image above you see a menu for the options at the top. With similar options grouped, searching for a particular option that you need has become much easier.


Side menu advanced options

Thrive Architect Review Side menu advanced options


In the side menu you can choose "advanced" at the bottom, so additional options appear. Most elements have hidden advanced options. It differs per element, but you can, for example, set margin and fill properties, settings for different devices and animation effects.

Thrive Text animations

There is nothing easier than adding text animations with Thrive Architect. Thrive keeps everything so simple that everyone will now start playing with his animations.

De Thrive Architect page elements

Thrive Architect page elements


Thrive Architect has an unprecedented number of elements that you can use, installing third party plug-ins has become absolutely unnecessary with Thrive Architect, everything has been thought of. All these elements can in turn be adjusted to your taste. Thrive emphasizes conversion in everything it does, which is reflected in the elements. They want you to earn money with your site, a great goal. Until now, this is not the case with other page builders, Thrive is unique here.

Ready-made demo pages

Thrive Architect Ready-made demo pages


There are 325+ 1-click demo pages in the Thrive Architect library. Just like the elements, these focus on call-2 action and conversion. We show you a few examples below.

Thrive Architect demo page conversion 3


Thrive Architect also offers normal landing pages and standard company pages in addition to all the conversion material but would do well to expand this considerably which they will certainly do. I expect so many new demos with every upgrade, which is what all the top themes do.

Thrive Architect prices

Thrive Architect prices


This Thrive Architect review is slowly coming to an end, let's talk about the costs. For 1 website you pay 67 dollars, the average price for a good theme is 60 dollars. I see Thrive as more than just a good theme and the $ 67 are okay. If you have several sites, you can operate them with the Architect for $ 97 a year, which is suddenly very cheap on average, so a good deal.

A membership costs you 228 per year, even though there is a monthly amount, one cannot pay per month. For this you get much more than just the Architect, many high-quality plug-ins that we have not discussed here. I think the deal is certainly okay, and interesting for web designers who can use it to provide 25 sites to Thrive customers.

Thrive Architect review conclusion

In this Thrive Architect review it emerges that Thrive can compete with the best in the field of themes and page builders and even take the lead on some fronts. It is more than worth its money and a pleasure to work with, especially the inline text editor. I look forward to future upgrades, it will all be even better ...

WP BAKERY PAGEBUILDER (Thrive vs Bakery Pagebuilder)

WP Bakery PageBuilder review


In this Thrive Architect vs WP Bakery Pagebuilder comparison, we now continue with the last mentioned page builder. It was actually installed on websites 4,300,000 times. That is very often compared to Thrive Architect, but we must remember that WP Bakery Pagebuilder has been around since 2011 and was the only real page builder at the time. On the other hand, Thrive Architect is still very new.

WP Bakery PageBuilder rating

WP Bakery PageBuilder rating


The plug-in has been sold since 05-2011 on the CodeCanyon marketplace (Envato). Over the years, it was sold there 391,000 times. A valuation was given by 21,258 buyers. The average score is 4.64 out of 5. A good score at first sight. Do you know why the WP Bakery PageBuilder was installed so much more often than it was sold? For years, this page builder has been integrated into a number of well-selling Wordpress themes with which deals were closed.

That's also how I once got to know it. I have always appreciated the presence of the WP Bakery PageBuilder in themes as it worked much better than with the standard WP editor. if that is still the case I will return to my final conclusion at the end of this WP Bakery PageBuilder review.

Front- and Back-end editor

WP Bakery PageBuilder has both a front and a backend editor. The front-end editor can be improved quite a bit if I compare it with other editors like Divi or Elementor. The dragging of elements and certainly between the different columns is sometimes a bit stiff, I noticed.


WP Bakery PageBuilder review front-end editor


The back-end editor, on the other hand, is a very nice tool for building the pages well and quickly. By the way, you can switch between front and backend as often as you like. It is important to save everything before the switch or you will lose the work you have done.

WP Bakery Pagebuilder Elements

The page builder has many different elements that you can use. To have even more elements, various plugins are available that can be used for this, such as Extensions Add-on. By the way, there are many video, form and other add-on plugins for WP Bakery Pagebuilder for sale on the same website.


WP Bakery PageBuilder review Elements

WP Bakery Pagebuilder + Woocommerce

Like any good page builder, WP Bakery Pagebuilder is ready to work with the popular webshop plugin Woocommerce. Not only that, there are many extra elements especially for Woocommerce in the editor, which can be seen in the image below.


WP Bakery PageBuilder review Woocommerce

Demo lay-outs and templates

Demos are integrated in the page builder with which you can create all kinds of pages. Very handy not to have to start from scratch. Most themes already offer ready-made demo sites but one can never have enough starting material.

WP Bakery Pagebuilder: Pricing

WP Bakery PageBuilder review Pricing


The page builder costs $ 64, and adding half a year of support to a year adds another $ 23. That is exactly the price for which you have the Elementor pagebuilder for a year, a much better page builder that is considered by many to be the best there is. The price for WP Bakery Pagebuilder is far too high in my opinion.

WP Bakery Pagebuilder: Evaluation

The WP Bakery Pagebuilder may be installed on many sites, this is mainly the case because it was one of the first page builders and because of the contracts with many themes in which you get the page builder for free. In principle, it is a solid page builder that works well, but it is expensive and outdated. There are much better page builders where you also get a much better deal. In any case, read my article about the best Wordpress page builders right now before you buy the WP Bakery Pagebuilder.

Thrive Architect vs WP Bakery Page Builder Conclusion

First of all, thank you for reading my Thrive Architect vs WP Bakery PageBuilder comparison to the end. Thrive Architect is one of the best page builders out there with unique call-2 action qualities. On the other hand, WP Bakery Pagebuilder rests on past glory. Thrive Architect surpasses the WP Bakery Pagebuilder in every possible way. It does not seem necessary to me to discuss all individual aspects. If you need a page builder, choose Thrive Architect of course.
