How does this compare with bricks and oxygen and etch? Or things like Breakdance or Elementor may be a better comparison? I’m almost done a course on bricks but maybe yours is a better option for me?
A: Great question! I believe that all the builders you mentioned have a lot of overlaps with Stackable with features and capabilities. I would say that you can more or less build the same types of websites across these solutions.
Personally, the best comparison for me would be that all these others have their own vision and implementation of how a "builder" should be. So while they all are products for WordPress, they have their own standalone builder interface to override WordPress' own.
For Stackable however, we are "putting the builder inside the block editor". So to use Stackable, you are using the native block editor and our workflow and tools are inside it. Instead of adding yet another standalone builder interface, you just use the native builder that comes with WordPress.. then our builder adheres to how WordPress works.
This brings quite a lot of benefits: Stackable becomes more or less compatible with any block theme and any plugin that supports blocks, you can use all the features of the block editor (synced patterns, the site editor, etc), you can mix any other core block or third-party block with Stackable, our designs conform to the styles of your block theme, and a lot more.
1. Yes we are, we have some docs on this here: https://docs.wpstackable.com/article/364-translate-blocks-using-wpml-multilingual 2. I am not familiar with Mobirise. I did a quick search on it, and looks like it is a site builder also (although non-WordPress), so I believe there are some similarities with it. Although, I saw they have a focus on AI, we do not have any AI capabilities as of the moment.

Q: Upgrading from Tier 2 to Tier 3 or 4
Hi, I've purchased a Tier 2 for 10 websites. If I want to upgrade this to Tier 3, do I buy another single Tier? And likewise, if I wanted to be at Tier 4, would I buy another Tier 2? How does that work?
A: Hello, thanks for your question! Since you're in tier 2, this means you got and redeemed 2 codes. To upgrade to tier 3, you'll need to get another code and redeem it. Make sure that during redemption you use the same email you used to redeem your earlier codes, this will make your tier go up to 3. Get and redeem another code to upgrade to tier 4.
I'm considering buying a Gutenberg plugin. Stackable looks interesting, but it's not nearly as well known as Kadence, for example. You'll be familiar with the competition. What makes Stackable better than Kadence Blocks or Ultimate Blocks?
A: Hello, Stackable might not have the most marketing and loudest voice, but Stackable has actually been one of the first block plugins that came our for WordPress. I can tell you that we're building an amazing workflow for the block editor which revolves around Stackable's Design System and your block theme.
I'm not from the team, but can tell you that I bought Stackable for the LTD, and stayed for the quality and great support. I like building with LTD tools, so that even if I'm "hit by a bus", the sites I make will perpetually be updated as long as the plugin providers provide support, without my annual fees as a limiting factor.
Q: User Questions for Stackable
I just bought the 4 tier lifetime license for unlimited sites. I just started using the plugin as a free version and am quite liking it. So I have a license for unlimited websites, correct? Is it the same license key all the time? If so, is it the one in my account? If not, how do I generate a new license? Do I have to always install that downloadable plugin on each site to get the premium version? Is there a way to just put in an activation key in the regular plugin from the wordpress store? If this is the case, is it best to just keep that file somewhere, or do I need to redownload it from my account page? Are updates going to automatically get pushed to this if i enable auto updates, or am I going to have to constantly redownload the newest plugin file and update that way?
A: Hello! Thanks for the questions! Regarding the license keys: yes, you have 1 license key, and it's the same one you use for all your installations. There is no generation of new ones. So can use your license key to activate again and again across websites.
About the downloadable plugin: you will have to install the premium version - this can be the one found in the email you got from us when you started, or from your account if you log in from our website wpstackable.com/account . The plugin in the WordPress directory is the free version which has less capabilities than the premium one. The premium plugin should have the name "(premium)" on it when you view your list of plugins in your WordPress admin.
To add the premium version in new sites, you can either keep installing the one you have, then updating it; or redownload the one from your account page and install that (and update if there is one).
Enabling auto-updates will automatically update the premium plugin when we have releases.

I bought the extra code for Tier 3 but don't see where to add it on the backend?
