Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Elementor
Landing pages built inside WordPress
Elementor is a visual builder for WordPress, so the landing page and the site it belongs to are the same installation rather than two subscriptions pointing at each other. Templates, a theme builder and dynamic content come on the cheapest plan. Popups, custom CSS and the ecommerce widgets arrive one tier up. Everything here assumes WordPress is already running somewhere, and the hosting bill is separate from this one.
Our note
Budget for Advanced Solo rather than Essential, because popups and custom CSS are the two things a landing page tends to need and the gap between the tiers is two dollars a month. Remember the hosting is separate: this is a plugin, and the total cost of a WordPress landing page is this plus a host.
Framer
Design a site and publish it from the same canvas
Framer collapses the gap between designing a page and shipping it: the canvas is the site, and publishing is a button rather than a handoff. For a creator that means a portfolio or launch page that looks designed without hiring anybody. The CMS is real but small, so a blog with hundreds of posts belongs elsewhere.
Our note
Carrd is a tenth of the price and enough for a link page. Framer earns the difference when the site has to grow, has repeated content, or has to look like nobody used a template.
