I suppose if the free version works for you, great. However, most of the free widgets provided are already found in Elementor and Elementor Pro which makes the free Essential Addons unnecessary. Whatever you do, don’t buy the “pro” version. Here is what I found after I bought the pro version:
I’ve fought with this thing for 7 months and it just keeps getting worse with every update. Every widget seems to have some dysfunction to it – like random bullet points showing up next to icons or progress charts that don’t display fill colours or an update that breaks the image sizing to massive sizes. Each time I’ve tried to raise a ticket over the last 7 months – I get the same thing: “Oh that’s strange, it looks fine here. Why don’t you refresh the files or clear cache?” or worse “Give us administrator access to your website and we will look at it”. I don’t think so. What a disappointment. I guess I’m off looking for other widget plugins to use alongside Elementor Pro as this one is awful.
This hasn’t changed – its still terrible and I am still finding new bugs and incompatibility in each new update. My disappointment is that I bought the “lifetime” version of the plugin and I’m stuck with it. The only thing I can do is warn others.
