Focused tools, templates, and newer approaches
Not every prominent plugin is a general-purpose widget library.
Sticky Header Effects for Elementor focuses on transparent, fixed, and scroll effects, with 300,000 active installs and an excellent rating signal. Skyboot Custom Icons for Elementor extends the icon library; it has 200,000 installs and an excellent rating signal.
Other offerings take different approaches: Template Kit imports Template Kits and has 400,000 installs, while ECS offers seven modular tools and has 100,000. Angie, also at 100,000 installs, describes building and managing site needs through an AI conversation inside WordPress; its rating signal is mixed, as is Template Kit’s.
What Elementor plugin numbers mean when choosing
The category has a sizable long tail alongside a small group of visible install leaders.
There are 1,197 plugins, but 16 have at least 100,000 active installs and 92 have at least 10,000. The leading plugins listed range from 100,000 to 2,000,000 installs, giving users recognizable starting points while leaving many smaller options across distinct use cases.
Maintenance is another useful comparison point: 68% of category plugins were updated within the last year. That share gives a broad view of recent update activity, but checking an individual plugin’s update timing and fit remains important.
