Page Builder Sandwich vs Elementor
Page Builder Sandwich's main competitor is Elementor. This is how Page Builder Sandwich compares the two.
In Page Builder Sandwich's own words.
Elementor swaps the WordPress editor for its own drag-and-drop canvas. Page Builder Sandwich works within WordPress's block editor, or in its own full-screen editor. It stores plain blocks. Pages stay light, and the content still reads fine if you remove the plugin.
Where Page Builder Sandwich stands out
- It stores every page as standard WordPress blocks. No single builder holds your content.
- One measured test page showed +0.5 kB and no outside requests. Elementor's free plugin added +156.4 kB and 3 requests to other companies' servers.
- The free plugin includes the accessibility checker.
- Pro turns Elementor pages into blocks. The original page stays untouched.
Where Elementor is strong

- Its big free plugin ships many widgets for headings, images, buttons and galleries.
In common
- Each tool lets you design WordPress pages visually. Each pairs a free plugin with paid plans.

Differences
