A tick means yes. A dash means we could not find it on the competitor’s own pages on 2026-10-12. Every competitor fact comes from the competitor’s own website or its WordPress.org page, read on 2026-10-12; the measured rows come from our own runs, with the method and every figure in the linked file.

For everyone
Faster pages that everyone can use
Your site loads faster
Each page loads only the styles of the blocks on it, from your own site, and no fonts or scripts from other companies. Faster pages keep visitors and help search rankings.
Everyone can use it
Menus, tabs, sliders and dialogs work with the keyboard and screen readers, charts and tables read as words, and moving blocks stay still for visitors who ask for less motion. The checker flags problems as you build.
Switching from Oxygen
Page Builder Sandwich does not convert Oxygen pages automatically. Build new pages with Page Builder Sandwich at your own pace; each one is ordinary WordPress blocks, so it keeps working whatever you use later.
Questions about switching from Oxygen
Is Page Builder Sandwich a good alternative to Oxygen?
If you want pages saved as ordinary WordPress blocks, a lighter page for your visitors and a free plugin to start with, yes. The table above shows each difference, with its source.
Is Page Builder Sandwich free?
Yes. The free plugin has 44 blocks, Sandwich Studio and 20 website kits, with no time limit. Page Builder Sandwich Pro starts at $79 a year with a 14-day free trial and no card needed.
Can I move my Oxygen pages?
Not automatically: Page Builder Sandwich converts pages from Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder and WPBakery, not from Oxygen. New pages you build with Page Builder Sandwich are ordinary WordPress blocks.
What happens to my pages if I stop using it?
They stay. Pages are ordinary WordPress blocks, so WordPress can still show them without the plugin.
