I have tested the following WordPress Landing Page Builders: Breakdance, Bricks, SeedProd, Beaver, Thrive, Divi, Elementor & Oxygen – Out of those 8, my favourite ones were 2, Breakdance & Bricks.
My use case is simple, I want to build landing pages that are fast & easy to build so that I can drive paid media traffic to them.
Having tested Breakdance and Bricks, I find Breakdance more user-friendly and Bricks more feature-richest. I built the same landing page for testing in Breakdance and Bricks, without knowing anything about their interface. In Breakdance it took 15 minutes and in Bricks it took 18 minutes.
I have performed several loading tests and Bricks is slightly better than Breakdance.
Having said that, I haven’t tested the latest version of Breakdance, V2.0, which they’ve released recently.
Which Landing Page Builder would you recommend for my use case and Why?

Out of the 2, Bricks is better. Idk why Breakdance gets the credit it does, it’s just a knockoff version of Elementor in my opinion.
I personally use the hello theme + Elementor and love it but 99% of people here will disagree with me about that.
Bricks is a little more dev-oriented, whereas Breakdance has been designed to be fast and easy to use.
So in your case, Breakdance will be a good choice.
But don’t worry, Bricks is perfectly fine too, as both are newer but more modern and perform better than the other (older) page builders.
I’m a big fan of Breakdance. It seems to mesh well with what i want for a page builder: it’s performant, easy for clients (but still has deep edit-ability for development), and meshes well with popular plugins.
Things i don’t like are mostly related to development… Documentation for creating your own elements is pretty much non-existent and the process for creating your elements seems opaque to me (i’ve make a handful so far and i still dont ‘get’ it). I suspect this will come in time?
I tested both and ended with Bricks for two reasons:
1) They have a Lifetime Deal, whereas Breakdance is subscription only
2) The code Bricks spits out is very clean and semantic.
On a personaly, possibly third reason, after reading about some of the going ons with the Breakdance developer, I kinda got the ‘ick’ feeling.
