The Best Third-Party Plugins and Extensions to Use With Breakdance Builder

Breakdance is a wonderful WordPress page builder. It's fast, easy to use, and extremely powerful. The community around it has been stepping up to the plate offering support, tips, and recently created some powerful extensions. 

Community developers have put together elements and plugins that tie in with Breakdance quite well. Here's a list of not just what's currently available, but also what works best.

Destiny Elements

Destiny Elements adds 30+ new premium elements that integrate with Breakdance seamlessly. We've put together a whole review here if you want to read about each element. Each block is completely customizable based on how you want it to look and act.

An overview of its elements include responsive tables, buttons, accordions, team section, preloaders, scroll bar, table of contents, and more — a lot more. These elements are essential to make sure you can maximize the Breakdance Builder experience, even with Breakdance Builder 2.0.

Currently priced at €49 (with a 30-day money back guarantee) for an individual license, Destiny is a fairly affordable plugin, and they said they'll be adding more elements over the next few months. Check out their website and Facebook if you have any more questions.

BD-dlibrary

The BD-dlibrary has a ton of page templates for use as your disposal. You can use their design sets to easily add and customize pages on your own website. Breakdance does include their own library, but if you're looking for additional sets and tweaks to customize your page designs further, this could help out.

With support for over a dozen types of sections and hundreds of elements, be sure to check it out. You can get access to 100 blocks for free and unlock 300+ of them for $99 a year. This helps out anyone who’s not really looking to design from scratch, but borrow heavily to create a more coherent site.

Honestly, the Breakdance library is really good by itself. If Breakdance continues to add and update it, I'm sure there won't be too much of a need for additional design libraries. But for now, this library is a good additional section building tool.

Elements Hive

Do you like animations? You'll love Elements Hive. This free plugin includes 13 free elements and extensions (along with 10+ paid ones) to make your website more alive. You can create awesome WebGL effects, cursor effects, glue buttons, and gooey links. It's beautiful... and it's all free. 

To use Elements Hive, install the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository and add a new "Elements Hive" element in the block builder. It's all customization from there.

AnalyticsWP

Websites are supposed to be all about engagements. To reach your target audience, you need a clear overview of where you’re succeeding and failing — something that advanced analytics from AnalyticsWP can give.

This plugin gives Breakdance Builder users the ability to view engagement data. I particularly like their pricing scheme, which is a one-time payment rather than subscription-based. You can get this plugin for $99 (one website) or $199 (unlimited).

The Bottom Line

We're still in a new stage of Breakdance's existence. It's not even a year old yet. In comparison to builders like Elementor that were released in 2016, Breakdance is a baby. Over the next few months and years we'll see more powerful extensions that hook into Breakdance to expand the possibilities of this already powerful page builder. Any other elements we missed?
