I thought Divi was free. Just a note on using Divi as someone who has a lot of experience in using it. The layout builder is what makes Divi stand apart, and it's pretty nice. The underlying HTML out generated by Divi is ok, but if you wanted to create a custom layout (i.e. construct columns, etc.) then the CSS system is really average. It's not great for the developer who is building a website and wants to customize beyond what divi adds out of the box. You might just end up adding bootstrap on top of the all the other CSS just out of frustration of not having a nice CSS framework to work with. However the biggest killer for me with Divi is that the header layouts are actually configured with javascript. Javascript needs to run to calculate all the various widths and heights of things - call me a purist but this a bit hacky and causes things to jump until the JS is loaded. This is a big issue if the site is slow to load (i.e. too many resources clogging the queue). It is also a big problem for anything custom, you really do you want to touch it outside of default implementations.
