In their own words
Bricks
Bricks is a paid web-based theme builder with responsive controls, dynamic content, WooCommerce tools, and a popup builder. Its plans differ in how many websites they cover. Starter costs $79 a year for one website; Business costs $149 a year for three websites; and Agency costs $249 a year for unlimited websites. These subscriptions renew yearly until canceled. Ultimate Lifetime is listed at $599 a month and described as a one-off payment; it covers unlimited websites and includes future updates and support. Bricks has no free plan. Its listed capabilities also include theme building and responsive controls, alongside the tools for dynamic content, WooCommerce, and popups. The company is headquartered in Paphos, Cyprus. The lifetime option's listed monthly amount and one-off billing description are both relevant when comparing it with the annual subscriptions.
Visual Composer
Visual Composer is a website-building tool with listed options for blogging, contact forms, and SEO controls. Its Free plan includes 50+ free elements and templates. Paid annual plans each list 300+ content elements and 200+ templates, with the covered website count increasing by tier: Single covers one site for $49 a year, Plus covers five for $99 a year, Accelerate covers 20 for $149 a year, and Agency covers 1,000 for $349 a year. The Lifetime plan is listed at $149 a month for a lifetime license covering one website, with 300+ content elements and 200+ templates. The listed plans therefore distinguish the paid annual tiers chiefly by their website allowances, while their stated element and template counts are the same. The free option has a smaller listed library, but makes it possible to begin without a paid plan. This gives prospective site builders a choice among a free starting point, annual plans with different site limits, and a lifetime-license option.
