What's great
IMO the main strengths are:
– All widgets come at one price in a single subscription (there's a widget for almost any need, and the library is growing)
– Paid plans depend on your website traffic. For instance, I had a Basic plan for about three months, then upgraded to Pro as the website grew
– The help center is really supportive and fast to respond. Though I didn't have any issues with widgets, more like customization requests
vs Alternatives
I've tried a few alternatives (EmbedSocial, Commoninja, etc.), but I went with Elfsight because their widget library really covers everything I need for a website. Plus, the product places a strong emphasis on multilingual features, which also fits my needs perfectly.
How well do widgets affect site speed and Core Web Vitals?
I had some CWV issues with Elfsight widgets a while ago, but they’ve updated the code since, so that’s no longer a problem.
Did multilingual support work reliably for your audience?
I run several multilingual websites and it’s all been great so far.
Which review sources were most useful and accurate?
I really like the All-in-One Reviews widget with the AI Overview feature. It pulls in feedback from various sources (Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc) and even supports multiple languages.
