Choose the maintenance workflow first
Betheme offers BeBuilder and lists Elementor compatibility. Total’s recorded approach pairs the Customizer with WPBakery. A team already delivering WPBakery sites has a concrete reason to evaluate Total first. A team deliberately adopting BeBuilder should begin with Betheme. That choice is more consequential than picking the closest homepage screenshot.
Broad design coverage versus a familiar process
Betheme’s large sector-oriented starting library can be relevant when an agency handles varied briefs. Total also supplies starting designs, but the recorded builder approach gives a different continuity argument. For repeated client deliveries, compare the amount of retraining and the effort to adapt recurring page types; the count of available demos does not answer either question.
Check the handover scenario
Ask who will change a service page six months after launch. If they know WPBakery, assess the proposed Total layout in that context; if they expect Elementor, inspect Betheme’s selected design rather than assuming every demo uses it. The package records do not establish that any named premium add-on or future update entitlement accompanies these downloads.
