Free vs Pro: Understanding the Differences

Introduction

The Builder comes in two formats: a Free version and a Pro version. The Pro version unlocks all features, while the Free version has limitations. This guide will walk you through the key differences between the two versions.

1. Elements Availability

When using the Free version, some elements are marked with red/maroon/pink dots, indicating they are Pro-only elements. These elements cannot be used unless you upgrade to the Pro version.

2. Pre-Made Blocks and Layouts

• In the Block Manager, you will notice that some blocks have a Pro label, meaning they are locked in the Free version.
• The majority of pre-made layouts are also exclusive to the Pro version.
• If you frequently create websites and need starter templates, the Pro version provides additional resources such as:
• Linked elements
• Buttons with feature URLs
• Block and popup functionalities (popup feature is Pro-exclusive)

3. CMS Features

Navigating to the CMS menu, you'll find the following options:

• Pages
• Blog (Limited functionality in Free, enhanced in Pro)
• Stories (Pro-only feature)
• Popups & Alerts (Pro-only feature)
• Users Management (Pro-only feature)

The Pro version allows you to create custom assets and provides additional blogging features for better content management.

4. File Download Option

Another key feature in the Pro version is the file download option, which is unavailable in the Free version.

Conclusion

If you are creating simple projects, the Free version might be sufficient. However, if you need access to advanced elements, templates, CMS features, and file downloads, upgrading to the Pro version is highly beneficial.
