Elementor and Divi are the two titans of the WordPress page builder world. Both offer affiliate programs. Let us compare them, no fluff.

Commission Models

Elementor pays 50% on the first sale through ShareASale. Average cart — $59/year. Commission — $29.50.

Divi runs through Elegant Themes’ own in-house program. They pay 50% on the first sale or 15% recurring on renewals. Price — $89/year or $249 lifetime. Commission — $44.50 or $125.

Divi pays more in absolute numbers. Plus recurring commissions — something Elementor does not offer.

Cookies and Conversion

Elementor: 90-day cookies, average conversion. The free version is a huge advantage: the user is already in the ecosystem, you just need to sell them on Pro.

Divi: 180-day cookies. Nearly half a year to make the decision. But there is no free version — it is a paid product only. Lower conversion, but a higher cart value.

Audience

Elementor powers 16+ million websites. A broader audience, from beginners to pros.

Divi — around 1.5 million users. A more loyal, more professional audience. Less competition among affiliates.

Verdict

For beginners: Elementor. Broad audience, long cookies, easier to find clients.

For pros: Divi. Higher commissions, recurring payouts, less competition.

Both programs are solid. If your budget allows — promote both and A/B test.
