ElectricBlaze

Overview

ElectricBlaze is a web-based widget builder for adding social feeds, chat, music playback and simple ordering to websites. It is best suited to site owners who can add custom HTML, or Mobirise users who prefer drag-and-drop blocks. Its range of widget types makes it useful for combining several small website features in one service, though the free view cap and daily refreshes constrain busier sites.

Key features

ElectricBlaze covers feeds from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Twitch, Facebook, Pinterest and Vimeo, along with Popup Chat, Music Player and Simple Shop widgets. Feeds display social posts in a grid, and custom styling is supported. Popup Chat brings together WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Signal and Discord; the Music Player supports Spotify and SoundCloud playlists. That mix suits sites that need a few kinds of embedded content, while a site focused on one feed may not need the broader toolkit.

Users configure widgets in a browser editor and add them by pasting an HTML snippet. The widgets work on sites that accept custom HTML, with instructions for 16 site builders and plain HTML. Mobirise desktop users can add them as drag-and-drop extension blocks. The setup options cover several common workflows, but the snippet route depends on the site allowing custom code.

Both web plans allow unlimited websites and up to five widgets. That is generous for someone managing several small sites, but the five-widget ceiling still matters for a larger collection of feeds or other embeds. The developer tools and CLI cover Instagram; real posts can appear through the widget, while the JSON API is planned for version 0.2. Developers seeking a broader API should look elsewhere for now.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes five widgets, unlimited websites and 1,000 monthly views. Widgets refresh every 24 hours and display an ElectricBlaze credit link. A view counts when a page loads a widget, so two widgets on one page use two views per visit. This plan can work for low-traffic pages, but multiple widgets can consume its monthly allowance faster than page visits alone suggest, and updates are infrequent.

Start costs $5 a year. It keeps the five-widget and unlimited-website allowances, removes the view cap and branding, and refreshes widgets hourly. Those changes make Start the stronger fit for active pages where fresh content and an unbranded appearance matter. The pricing note also gives the paid rate as 5 /mo (annual), while the plan price is stated as $5 a year.

Subscriptions can be cancelled or set to stop auto-renewing at any time. A first purchase may be refunded within 14 days; renewals and upgrades are not refundable. ElectricBlaze says it does not collect, access or store credit card information and uses third-party payment processors. Support is available by email and through Help Center guides.

Platforms

ElectricBlaze is available on the web and as an extension. Its widgets can be added to websites that accept custom HTML, and Mobirise offers them as desktop-app extension blocks.

Who it's for

ElectricBlaze suits site owners who want to put social posts, messaging options, playlists or basic ordering on a website, especially if they manage multiple sites or use Mobirise. It is less suitable for high-traffic use on the Free plan, for pages that need frequent updates without paying, or for developers who need the JSON API today.

Pros and cons

• Pros: One service covers social feeds, six chat integrations, music playlists and simple ordering, which can reduce the number of separate widget tools a small site needs.
• Pros: Both plans support unlimited websites, and Start removes the monthly view limit and ElectricBlaze credit link.
• Cons: Free allows only 1,000 monthly widget loads; each widget on a page counts separately, which can make the cap restrictive on multi-widget pages.
• Cons: Free widgets refresh only every 24 hours, and both plans stop at five widgets.
• Cons: The JSON API is planned rather than available; current developer tools cover Instagram.

Verdict

Choose ElectricBlaze if your website needs several kinds of embeds and you want the same service to cover feeds, chat, music and simple ordering. Its unlimited website allowance and low annual Start price are compelling for a small multi-site setup; look elsewhere if you need more than five widgets, more frequent free updates or a JSON API now.
