How to Charge Elementor Pro Licenses to Clients without Ripping them Off and still make a Profit

This is asked a lot.
Should you charge Elementor Pro licenses back to the client - or absorb the cost?

And how can you give them a deal - so they get a discount, but you still make a profit?

Let's go!

This was very informative and really made me realize the 25 plan will work much better for my needs. I am upgrading and using your affiliate link. You deserve it.

Thanks for this - great as usual.

For a handful of my early sites I've absorbed the cost of Elementor Pro as I bought the 1000 site deal when it was $199... but any I've done this year, and any going forward it's factored into the monthly aftercare package that is agreed with clients. My basic package is basically the cost of one annual Elementor Pro licence per month, and is for plugin/WP updates and the odd small amend. I think I need to start producing a more structured offering for packages above this.

YOU. ARE. A. STAR!!!! Best advice! Great content, I always look forward to seeing your tips and tricks...this topic has been grating me, that I was thinking of Divi! Thank you. Side note, should we add lifetime plugins too, based on the annual?

Do you have any updates regarding the question that arose here in the comments, whether this is allowed by Elementor or not? Thanks in advance

I buy templates, clearly designed with elementor pro, yet when I try to amend them they only have 'elementor free' installed. How does that happen?

as a starter who has no client yet and who has nothing much to pay for the license .. how do you ask your first client to pay for bigger thing

[shahzadhaider]

Simple you should absorb the cost, I am asking this not as a client but as a developer

Elementor have confirmed that this is 100% against their terms of service. You're not allowed to charge your clients for Elementor Pro in any way whatsoever. This includes providing them the installation on the site, charging them to install Elementor Pro etc.

I was surprised because I know you were invited to their recent community talk and the fact they hadn't flagged this issue with you already was of interest.
