Key Terminology Differences

Layout Philosophy:

Elementor, Breakdance, and Bricks use Section > Container > Column hierarchy, while Divi uses Section > Row > Column. Bricks offers the most flexibility with grid and flexbox containers.

Widget vs Module:

Elementor calls them ‘Widgets’, Divi calls them ‘Modules’, Breakdance calls them ‘Elements’, and Bricks calls them ‘Elements’. They all refer to the same concept – reusable building blocks.

Pro Features:

Elements marked ‘(Pro)’ require the premium version. Breakdance and Bricks include most features in their base versions, while Elementor gates many advanced features behind Elementor Pro.

Dynamic Content:

All builders support dynamic content (ACF, Meta Fields, etc.), but implementation varies. Elementor uses Dynamic Tags (Pro), Divi uses Dynamic Content, Breakdance has built-in Dynamic Data, and Bricks has Dynamic Data tags.

Template System:

Global templates/blocks are called differently: Elementor Templates, Divi Library items, Breakdance Global Blocks, and Bricks Templates. They all allow reusable content across pages.

Note: This comparison focuses on core functionality. Each builder has unique advanced features not listed here.
