Intro

There’s a pitched battle for those of us who use Beaver Builder over the addon plugins that extends and enhances the Beaver Builder platform. None more fought over than between the two major module extensions available out there. Ultimate Addons and PowerPack. Each adds more than 60+ enhanced and unique modules to the Beaver Builder library.

They each have their stand out features and modules which is why in the end most developers and designers just install both of them and pick the modules they want from each on. In the end, though is there an all-out winner between the two? I wanted to find so I played around with both as much as I could and created a list for both comparing their modules and extras.

I created a pick list that outlines the modules I think are the best between the two plugins. You can go into your setting screen for both plugins and only show the modules from the list. This helps to clean up those massive module lists and saves you time from figuring which is best and gets you doing what you do best, building sites!

I will try to be as impartial as I can and will try to make updates once a month since both plugin developers are continuously adding new content, a lot of time to seemingly add an equivalent module that the other did earlier. I’ll try my best to do so because only the most up to date information are of any worth.

None less It’s a great battle to watch and one that only benefits us, developers and designers.

Pick List

Below is a list of the modules I’ve chosen to include on my sites from their respective plugins. I’ve gone through each module and compared them to their counterparts, if they had one, and chose the ones that I believe either had the better feature set, more options, or better user experience, etc. Further down I’ve listed every module and my thoughts about each if you want more detail.

Deep Dive

Below is a list of every module offered by both plugins. I identify which plugin offers the module and when the module was first introduced (innovation leaders). Hover or click each list item to read my perspective on each module, specifically any special features or options that give one module version an edge over the other. Again I will try to keep this list as update as is reasonably possible.

This is a unique module that introduces a nice way to minimize the clutter that can be created by large menus. The module provides a tonne of styling options to make it yours easily.

WooCommerce Modules

Enhance your WooCommerce website with these three modules

Woo Products and Categories gives a nice added style to your archive pages which also adds a preview functionality allowing users to see a popup of the single product page without leaving the Products page. The Add to Cart modules is a nice way to add cart functionality anywhere on your site not just on WooCommerce pages.

Ribbon

Beautifully designed Ribbons add to the beauty of your website.
Yes

A nice to emphasize a message but unfortunately, a little outdated for more modern sites in my view.

iHover

Get the best animation effects to display text when user hovers on an image.
Yes

No
A very unique set of animations to display images and text. With 19 animations to choose from, there’ll be an animation or two that perfectly suit your needs.

Slide Box

Use slide boxes to slide out information when a user clicks or hovers on them
Yes

No
I like to use this module as apposed to an accordion because it can trigger on hover and it doesn’t push content up and down because it directly overlays what is below it. I really like this module.

Interactive Banner

Use an Interactive banner with a beautiful animation effect and add text to explain the image further
Yes

No
Very similar to PowerPack’s Hover Cards module except you only create one banner as opposed to as many as you want. Still a nice way to make an interesting hover effect banner or card.
