Betheme
by Muffin Group
A massive multifunction theme with over 650 pre-built websites.
The "Everything" Theme
Betheme is famous for one thing: Volume. With over 700 pre-built websites, you can find a demo for literally anything—a burger joint, a driving school, a crypto startup, or a yoga studio.
The New BeBuilder
For years, Betheme used a clunky backend builder. They have recently launched BeBuilder, a visual frontend editor that is surprisingly fast and competes directly with Elementor.
Features Overload
Betheme is the opposite of GeneratePress. It assumes you want everything included:
- Header Builder: Visual drag-and-drop.
- Mega Menu: Built-in.
- Shortcode Generator: 200+ elements.
- Animations: Parallax, entrance effects, and scroll effects.
Performance
Historically, "Multipurpose" themes were slow. Betheme has optimized significantly in version 26+. While it will never be as light as GeneratePress, it is capable of scoring 90+ on PageSpeed Insights if you use their caching settings and disable unused features.
Comparison: Betheme vs. Avada
Betheme's main competitor on ThemeForest is Avada.
| Metric | Betheme | Avada |
|---|---|---|
| Demos | 700+ | 90+ |
| Builder Speed | Fast (React-based) | Slower |
| Pricing | $60 (Lifetime) | $69 (Lifetime) |
| Bloat | High (manageable) | High |
Final Verdict
Betheme is for Agencies who need to churn out diverse client sites quickly. The ability to import a "Plumber" site on Monday and a "Lawyer" site on Tuesday—using the same theme license—is a massive workflow advantage.
Our Review
Betheme is the ultimate "Swiss Army Knife." If a client asks for a specific look—from a Zoo to a Dentist office—Betheme has a pre-built site for it. It is feature-rich but comes with a steeper learning curve.
