To rate the usability we measured whether and how easy the users can perform certain tasks and if there are any limits when using the page builder without writing code, the time it requires to do a certain task, the error rate, and users' overall subjective satisfaction.

Get Passed the Core Web Vitals assessment and Pingdom Website Speed Test without any hustle.

Access unique tools that let you customize every part of your site with ease without writing a single line of code.

The amount of features bundled with the builder, 3rd party plugins and marketplace built around the page builder.

The price that you will need to pay to access all the Pro features, sometimes you only need to purchase one license, and paying extra to get more licenses is not something that you want. Zion Builder grants access to all Pro the features for as low as $39/year/license and Elementor for $49/year/license with some feature restrictions. Oxygen doesn't have a yearly payment option, just one time payment at a higher price, Divi has a yearly payment but not for single licenses and at a higher price $89.

How cheap are the support and updates if you just want one license and all features access.

How cheap are the support and updates if you just want unlimited licenses and all features access.

Design quality

Template kits are a collection of several templates, designed for one niche.

Blocks are sections of a template, which can be stacked on top of each other and make up an entire web page.

Zion Builder can resize any element width/height by fluidly dragging their borders, Oxygen doesn't let you resize elements by dragging the borders, Elementor can adjust only the width of the columns and some elments, Divi lets you resize some of the elements but the experience is laggy.

Zion Builder lets you add margins and paddings visually by dragging any element inner/outer border with a fluid experience. You can also use ctrl or ctrl+shift to set incremental values or set even values. Oxygen  doesn't have a way to set even values or incremental values, Elementor doesn't have a way to set visual margins & paddings, Divi has a laggy experience.

Zion Builder lets you save your designed blocks locally, generating live screenshots for them, you can then reuse them throughout your website. Also lets you share your local library with multiple websites. Elementor, Oxygen & Divi have no screenshot preview for saved blocks and no sharing with other websites option. Oxygen Library navigation is counter-productive and needs to many clicks to access desired blocks or templates.

Zion Builder lets you move the UI panels and dock them in any combination that you want, enabling you to edit the page or add elements while in full-width mode, giving you a pleasant experience when designing.

Oxygen has fixed UI and you can't add elements while in full-width mode.

Elementor has no full-width edit mode but lets you dock the navigation.

Divi has a full-width edit experience, the layers can not be docked, the settings bar can be docked anywhere you want and you can add elements and adjust the page while in full-width edit mode.

Enable a full range of flexbox atributes visually without typing a single line of code.

Zion Builder tree-view is can be undocked or docked to the left or right. You can copy-paste styles by right clicking the layers and also doing other actions.

Oxygen doesn't have right-click options for tree-view layers and neither copy-pasting styles option from one layer to the other. Also, the position of the tree-view is fixed.

Elementor can be undocked and docked only to the right side of the screen and also has right-click options.

Divi has floating navigation that can not be docked, has layers with right-click actions, and the ability to search and filter layers.

Section View is the easiest way to reorder entire sections/block designs when you have a big landing page, and your tree view layers are all expanded. Instead of collapsing all layers then figuring which layer to move where, you simply go to section view where you can visually see your section, then move it where you want. *chef's kiss*

Zion Builder has two other tree-views, one horizontal breadcrumbs tree-view and one mini vertical tree-view that lets you easily find your elements parents from the edit area or element options area without the need of opening the main tree view.

Zion Builder lets you save both global colors and global gradients, while the rest of page builders only save global colors. Zion builder lets you add multiple gradients one over the other each gradient with unlimited colors. Divi & Elementor are limited to two colors per gradient, Oxygen UI is not as user-friendly as ZionBuilder's gradient tool and without the layered gradients.

Have access to all CSS properties for all inner parts of components.

Style any child element visually using the child selectors. This opens the door to beautiful hover animations. Apply hover/focus effects to child elements from the parent style options.

Zion Builder let's you add classes visually to child elements. For example to the icon inside a button; for the tabs and content of an accordion etc.

White Label lets you rebrand Zion Builder with your own companys name and logo.

The ease with which you create layouts using columns or containers, resizing them, and how flexible they are. Adding margins and paddings, using shortcut keys while dragging.

Build custom repeater queries with ease in advanced elements like sliders, accordions, tabs, etc. Zion Builder let's you turn any element into a repeater

How snappy the builder feels when using it. We have sanctioned any laggy behavior when dragging or clicking different actions or if any bugs occurred when using the UI. Oxygen has small layout shifts noticeable in the options panel, you can see the element handle UI reposition itself when choosing a different device, the draggable margin and padding are not as fluid as Zion Builder, small delays between selections compared with Zion Builder where the selection is instant. Elementor is a bit laggy only when switching between different responsive devices. Divi backend speed needs serious improvements.
