The short answer

Embedra is the cheaper Elfsight alternative for sites that need more than one kind of widget. Elfsight sells each widget type as its own app, from $5 a month billed yearly for 5,000 views. Embedra's $7 Starter plan covers any three widgets of any type, pooled 15,000 views and unlimited domains, billed monthly. Both have a free plan with branding: Elfsight's gives 200 views and switches off at the limit, Embedra's gives 500.

Compare the plans →

One plan, every widget type

Google reviews, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and a cookie banner share one plan and one line of code. Elfsight sells each as its own app.

No badge from $7 a month

Starter takes any three widgets, 15,000 views and unlimited domains. Two Elfsight apps without branding cost $10 a month, billed yearly.

More free views

500 views a month on Embedra's free plan, against 200 on Elfsight's. A view is one visitor in 30 minutes, not every page they open.

Still showing at the limit

Elfsight switches the app off at the monthly limit. Embedra keeps your last content on show: paid plans never switch off, and Free stays up until twice the limit or 7 days.

When is Elfsight the better pick?

We would rather you pick the right tool. Elfsight is the better choice in these three cases.

Elfsight's pricing →

One kind of widget, paid yearly

Elfsight's Basic plan is $5 a month billed yearly for one app, less than Embedra's $7. For a single widget type, it is the cheaper choice.

More than 5 Google reviews

Elfsight shows up to 100 recent reviews, found by name. Embedra shows the 5 that Google's public API returns for a business.

A widget Embedra does not make

Elfsight has 96 apps, including forms and pop-ups, and can show a personal Instagram account. Embedra needs a Business or Creator account.

Every Embedra widget looks like part of your site.

Try the controls below: switch the layout, the columns and the theme. This is a real Embedra widget, the Facebook feed from Embedra's own Page, not a picture of one.

Can one plan cover Google reviews, Instagram and a cookie banner?

Yes, on Embedra. Every widget type is on every plan, the free plan included, and they all install with the same single line of code. Starter takes any three widgets, Pro takes ten and Business has no limit.

On Elfsight, each of those is a separate app with its own subscription, unless you buy the 96 Apps Pack, from $15 a month billed yearly. Views on Embedra are pooled across your whole account, so a busy page and a quiet one share the same allowance.

See every widget in the widget library.

What happens when I hit the view limit?

Both tools have a monthly view allowance. What happens when you reach it is different, and on a busy month it decides whether your reviews are still on your site.

Plans and limits →

Elfsight: switched off

Elfsight's pricing page says going over the monthly limit will temporarily deactivate the app.

Embedra: still on show

On a paid plan the widget never switches off: it keeps showing your latest posts or reviews. On Free it stops refreshing at the limit, keeps your content on show, and only goes dark at twice the limit, or 7 days after you reach it.

A warning first

You get an email as you approach the limit, and the allowance resets every month.

What Embedra does, and what it does not

Straight answers, so you know before you switch.

✓

Every widget type on every plan

Google reviews, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube feeds, WhatsApp chat and a cookie banner, the free plan included.

✓

One line of code for all of them

Each widget installs the same way, and draws itself in its own Shadow DOM, so your site's CSS cannot break it.

✓

Made for agencies

Client workspaces, team roles, unlimited domains on paid plans, and widgets that move between clients.

✓

No tracking cookies

Widgets set no tracking cookies, and the cookie banner keeps your tracking tools off until a visitor agrees.

No forms or pop-ups

Embedra makes feeds, reviews, chat and consent widgets, not forms, pop-ups or pricing tables.

5 Google reviews, not 100

It shows the 5 reviews Google's public API returns for a business, not a longer history.

No personal Instagram accounts

Instagram needs a Business or Creator account. Reels show their cover and open on Instagram.

Plays nice with whatever you're using.

If your site builder lets you paste a line of custom code, Embedra works. Seamless integration with Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and HTML.

Start free. Upgrade when you grow.

Every plan includes every widget type. A view is one visitor in a 30-minute window, not every page they open, and views are pooled across your account.

Questions

What people ask when they compare Embedra and Elfsight.

All questions →

Is Embedra cheaper than Elfsight?

For more than one kind of widget, yes: $7 a month covers any three widgets, where Elfsight charges per app. For a single kind of widget billed yearly, Elfsight's $5 Basic plan is cheaper.

Does Embedra have a free plan?

Yes: one widget, 500 views a month and one domain, with a small Powered by Embedra badge. No card needed.

Does Elfsight's cookie banner block cookies?

Not by itself. Elfsight's help page says its Cookie Consent widget does not add, enable or disable cookies, even if a visitor declines. Embedra's Cookie Banner holds Google Analytics, Google Ads, Tag Manager, Clarity, the Meta Pixel, the TikTok Pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag until a visitor accepts, and sends Google Consent Mode v2. It does not scan your site, and it only controls the tools you connect.

Does Embedra work on Webflow, WordPress, Wix, Shopify and Squarespace?

Yes, anywhere a line of code can be pasted. On Webflow, custom code needs a paid site plan, which applies to every third-party widget.

Can I remove the Embedra badge?

Yes, on any paid plan, from $7 a month. Starter covers any three widgets and 15,000 views, with unlimited domains.

Is Embedra's cookie banner Google-certified?

No. Google does not require a certified banner for advertisers using Google Ads and Analytics. It does for AdSense, Ad Manager and AdMob publishers in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, who should use a certified one.

Three widgets, one plan, no badge.

Google reviews, social feeds and a cookie banner, styled to match your site. Start free, no card needed.
