Elementor is available in two versions: a free version and a premium version called Elementor Pro.[2]

Elementor Pro offers additional features for creating more complex websites compared to the free version, which only provides basic page builder functionality. Elementor Pro enables users to customize their websites with a broader range of tools and options.

As of February 2025, Elementor was available in 64 languages and was the most popular WordPress plugin, with over 10 million active installations worldwide.[3] It is an open-source platform licensed under GPLv3[4] and, according to BuiltWith statistics, it powered 5.07% of the top 1 million websites globally in February 2025.[5]

In its first round of institutional funding in 2020, the company raised $15 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners.[6]
