Builder theme From $69 SPLIT-GPL Since 2014

// editorial verdict

BeTheme is a long-running multipurpose theme from Muffin Group, sold exclusively through ThemeForest. Its headline feature is scale: 700+ prebuilt websites plus 2000+ importable page designs, paired with the in-house BeBuilder page builder. Like other ThemeForest flagships it's a one-time purchase with lifetime updates and six months of support.

Pros

One of the largest prebuilt-website libraries of any theme (700+)
One-time purchase with lifetime updates — no subscription
BeBuilder has improved markedly on speed in recent major versions

Cons

The sheer feature surface adds weight and a learning curve
BeBuilder content lock-in makes migrating away costly
Sold only via ThemeForest, so support follows the Envato model

When to pick BeTheme

Pick BeTheme when you want the widest possible selection of prebuilt starting points from a single one-time purchase, and you'll build by importing and editing a prebuilt site rather than designing from scratch.

When to avoid BeTheme

Avoid BeTheme if you want a lean, portable codebase or top-tier Core Web Vitals out of the box. The feature breadth that's its selling point is also its weight.

Frequently asked questions

How much does BeTheme cost?: BeTheme is sold through ThemeForest under Envato's regular license (around $69) as a one-time purchase. That includes lifetime theme updates — including future prebuilt websites — and six months of support, which you can extend.
How is BeTheme different from Avada?: They're close competitors: both are ThemeForest multipurpose flagships with their own page builder, large prebuilt libraries, and one-time pricing. BeTheme leads on prebuilt-site count (700+), while Avada has the larger install base and longer track record. Either way you're committing to a proprietary builder.
