Building a site in Elementor often means installing one plugin for a mega menu, another for a header builder, and a third just for extra widgets. This ElementsKit review looks at whether replacing that stack with a single all-in-one addon actually holds up, or just moves the complexity somewhere else. With a large widget and template library, ElementsKit is one of the more established names making that promise.
The question is whether consolidating widgets, a header/footer builder, and a mega menu builder into one plugin justifies handing that much control to a single vendor.
Quick Verdict
ElementsKit suits freelancers and agencies who want fewer plugins to manage across client sites and are comfortable working within Elementor’s ecosystem. It’s a weaker fit for anyone building a lightweight site who only needs one narrow feature, like a mega menu, since the full plugin brings far more than that.
Pros
- A broad library of free and paid widgets, templates and reusable sections
- Combines widgets, header/footer builder, and mega menu builder in one plugin
- Free version works with free Elementor, covering the header/footer builder, mega menu builder, and select widgets
- WooCommerce widgets and templates extend store presentation; confirm the exact template controls your project needs
- Flexible yearly and lifetime licensing, including multi-site and lifetime unlimited tiers
Cons
- Depends entirely on Elementor being installed and active; it won’t function standalone
- The broad feature set means more admin settings to learn than a single narrow-purpose addon
Core Features
Elementor Widget Library
ElementsKit’s core draw is its widget library, which the developer states includes a broad collection of widgets and reusable templates for building out Elementor pages. That widget count covers everything from content blocks to interactive elements, all designed to drop into the standard Elementor editor rather than requiring a separate interface.
For a site builder, this means fewer trips to the plugin directory to find a missing element. Instead of installing three or four narrow-purpose addons to cover forms, sliders, and content grids, one plugin supplies the bulk of what a typical Elementor build needs.
Header and Footer Builder
The header and footer builder lets users design site-wide headers and footers directly inside Elementor, rather than relying on a theme’s built-in customizer. This is one of the features available in both the free and Pro versions of ElementsKit, which is notable given how often header/footer control is locked behind a paywall in competing addons.
The practical benefit is design consistency without touching theme files. A freelancer building a client site can construct a header once, apply it across every page, and adjust it later from a single location instead of editing template code.
Mega Menu Builder
ElementsKit’s mega menu builder is built to work alongside the header builder, letting users design multi-column navigation menus with images, icons, and nested content instead of plain text links. Like the header and footer tools, this module ships in the free tier as well as Pro.
For sites with large catalogs or content-heavy navigation — think multi-category stores or publishers with several content verticals — this gives visitors a clearer way to browse from the main menu itself, without a developer needing to hand-code a custom navigation template.
WooCommerce Scope
ElementsKit lists WooCommerce widgets and templates, but that should not be treated as a promise that it replaces a full store-template builder. Wpmet also sells ShopEngine as a separate WooCommerce builder. Compare the product, archive, cart and checkout controls you actually need before choosing a package.
Compatibility With Free and Pro Elementor
ElementsKit is built to work with both the free and Pro versions of Elementor, rather than requiring Elementor Pro as a hard dependency. The free tier of ElementsKit pairs with the free tier of Elementor, covering the header and footer builder, mega menu builder, and a portion of the widget library.
This matters for anyone testing Elementor on a budget, or running smaller sites that don’t justify an Elementor Pro license. It also means agencies can standardize on ElementsKit across projects regardless of which Elementor tier a given client is running.
In our testing on WordPress 6.5 with PHP 8.4, installation and basic setup took about 2 minutes. The elementskit-4.10.02.zip file installed directly through Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin without needing to extract it first, which kept the whole process to a single upload step before ElementsKit was ready to configure alongside Elementor.
Also included: ElementsKit rounds out its offering with broader page-building features layered on top of Elementor’s own editor, giving users additional layout and design tools beyond the widget set and builder modules covered above.
Installation and Setup
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
- ElementsKit Pro requires both Elementor and ElementsKit Lite to be installed and active. Search for Elementor in the plugin directory, install it, and activate it, or upload it manually if you already have the plugin file.
- Return to Plugins → Add New Plugin and either search for ElementsKit or click Upload Plugin if you’re installing from a downloaded zip file.
- Upload the ElementsKit plugin file and click Install Now, then activate it once installation finishes.
- Open the ElementsKit dashboard from the WordPress admin menu to enable widgets, the header and footer builder, and the mega menu builder as needed.
- If you’ve purchased the Pro version, enter your license key in the ElementsKit settings panel to activate your purchased Pro features and licensed update access.
Installation is straightforward because ElementsKit doesn’t require any file extraction before upload — the plugin zip can be installed directly through the standard WordPress upload flow. Once Elementor and ElementsKit are both active, new widgets and builder options appear inside the Elementor editor automatically.
Compatibility and Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required plugin | Elementor; Pro additionally requires ElementsKit Lite |
| Elementor tier | Works with both the free and Pro versions of Elementor |
| Free tier availability | ElementsKit free version available, compatible with free Elementor |
ElementsKit is built as an addon layer on top of Elementor, so it has no independent page-building engine of its own. Without Elementor installed and active, none of its widgets, the header and footer builder, or the mega menu builder will load. Wpmet advises keeping Elementor updated to its latest version to ensure ElementsKit’s addons continue working as expected.
Support for ElementsKit runs through Documentation, General Support, and PRO Support channels, alongside a roadmap and idea submission page where users can request features.
ElementsKit Pricing
ElementsKit is available as a free plugin through the WordPress.org repository, and it works with the free version of Elementor. The free tier includes the header and footer builder, the mega menu builder, and a selection of widgets — enough to build a functional site, though not the full widget library.
For the Pro version, Wpmet sells ElementsKit through yearly and lifetime licensing tiers. The Personal yearly plan lists a regular $49 price, with a $42 promotion when checked on 29 October 2026, with multi-site bundles and lifetime unlimited options available for agencies and freelancers managing several client builds. Lifetime plans remove the renewal requirement in exchange for a higher upfront cost, which suits users who prefer not to track annual billing.
Pro licenses add paid widgets, templates and modules. Check the included feature list for the version and license you are purchasing. Standard ElementsKit plans do not bundle other Wpmet products like MetForm or ShopEngine — those are sold separately or as part of Wpmet’s broader all-in-one bundle for users who want multiple plugins under one package.
Wpmet backs paid purchases with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Alternatives to ElementsKit
ElementsKit sits in a crowded field of Elementor addon plugins, most of which focus narrowly on widgets rather than site-wide building tools. Here’s how it compares to some of the better-known alternatives.
| Product | Key Difference | Best For | Price Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| ElementsKit | All-in-one addon combining widgets, header/footer builder, and mega menu builder | Users who want widgets and site-structure tools in a single plugin | Freemium |
| Essential Addons for Elementor | Large freemium widget library focused on extending page-building elements rather than header/footer/menu building | Users mainly adding design elements to pages | Freemium |
| JetElements | Part of Crocoblock’s Jet plugin ecosystem, often used alongside other Jet plugins for dynamic content and WooCommerce building | Users already invested in the Crocoblock ecosystem | Paid |
| PowerPack for Elementor | Freemium addon providing extra widgets and templates aimed at designers building custom layouts | Designers wanting extra layout widgets and templates | Freemium |
| Ultimate Addons for Elementor | Developed by Brainstorm Force, with tight integration with the Astra theme and a widget library for Elementor | Users building on Astra who want matched integration | Freemium |

The right pick depends on what you actually need built. If header, footer, and mega menu building matter alongside widgets, ElementsKit’s combined approach can replace multiple plugins; if you only need extra page-building elements, a narrower widget addon like Essential Addons or PowerPack may be simpler to manage.
