Hi,

I have heard the same story elsewhere also. If that is the case, then it is not acceptable.

Normally, the software should continue to work after the license has expired except that people don’t get any further support or updates until the license is renewed. This is how the licensing modal works.

I will bring this to the attention of Beaver support to confirm if this indeed stands true.

This is not the case. Shortly after my license expired, Beaver Builder lost all functionality. The company’s website claims that “Beaver Builder doesn’t stop working just because your license expires.” After a Word Press update, I was left with zero ability to make any changes. In fact, the software doesn’t even start after the change.

When you look at other services, they start with monthly subscription fees running from $5 to $12 a month. Beaver Builder costs $16.66 when you consider that updates are required (and yes, the only solution the company offered was for me to pay for an upgrade). Considering how tight the budget can be for a new business, I can’t justify recommending Beaver Builder.

Makes sense! Thanks for clarifying that Fred.

Good question, Frank! I’ve just altered that sentence to be clearer meaning-wise.

Hi Nathan! I’ve never tried Oxygen, but I’m curious. Have you?

On workflow, pasting this in from your question on YouTube:

I honestly can’t see how Beaver Builder would affect your stack much one way or another. It’s just a way of managing post content for posts that need complex layouts. Whether you’re on remote or local, how you do deployments, use of a CSS preprocessor, your choice of code editor, etc., are all pretty unrelated. Unless there’s something I’m not thinking of??

So for me, on a new project that involves a page builder, I’d use:
-Sublime Text
-WAMP
-A starter theme (I like UnderStrap)
-Maybe SASS if it’s complex enough on the design side

And I think that’s about it?
