ProFeedWP and Elfsight both let you display an automatically updating LinkedIn company feed on a WordPress website. However, they take two different approaches.
ProFeedWP is a dedicated WordPress LinkedIn feed plugin. Elfsight is a hosted widget platform that works across WordPress and many other website builders.
For LinkedIn feeds on WordPress, ProFeedWP combines native editing with SEO-friendly loading: cached posts arrive with your page, ready for visitors and search engines to read. Elfsight suits teams that want several types of hosted widgets across different website platforms.

The main difference: WordPress plugin or hosted widget?
ProFeedWP is built specifically for WordPress. You add the feed as a Gutenberg block, paste the URL of your LinkedIn company or Showcase Page, and customize it inside the WordPress editor.
If you use Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Avada or another page builder, you can add the feed using a shortcode.
Elfsight works differently. You create and customize the widget in the separate Elfsight dashboard and then embed it on your website. This makes Elfsight flexible enough to work with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and many other platforms.
ProFeedWP gives WordPress sites native editing and server-rendered cached feed content. Choose the workflow that fits your site:
- Choose ProFeedWP if you want to manage the feed directly in WordPress.
- Choose Elfsight if you want one external widget platform for several website systems.
SEO-friendly feeds that load with your WordPress page
ProFeedWP puts your cached LinkedIn posts directly in the initial page HTML. WordPress renders the cards on the server before sending the page to the visitor. Your feed text is part of the page from the first load, with no iframe around the feed.
This gives search engines direct access to the post text and lets visitors see cached posts without waiting for a widget script to fetch and build the feed. Both the Gutenberg block and shortcode support this behavior, enabled by default in ProFeedWP.
Elfsight’s standard embed uses an external JavaScript platform script. ProFeedWP’s server-rendered cache removes that extra loading step for the initial feed content: a clear advantage over browser-only widgets.
Fresh cached feeds need no initial feed request. When cached data expires, existing posts remain visible while the feed refreshes in the background.
That approach follows Google’s recommendation to use server-side rendering to make content accessible to users and crawlers.
Pricing and monthly view limits
The products also use different pricing models.
A ProFeedWP single-site license costs $49.99 per year and includes all features, unlimited LinkedIn feeds and unlimited views on one WordPress website. Lifetime licenses are also available.
Elfsight prices its LinkedIn widget according to monthly views and the number of widgets. At the time of writing, its Basic plan includes:
- 5,000 widget views per month
- Three LinkedIn widgets
- Unlimited websites
- Annual billing
Elfsight defines a view as each time the widget loads on a page. According to its official pricing page, the widget is temporarily deactivated if the monthly limit is exceeded.
For a small, low-traffic website, 5,000 views may be sufficient. However, businesses with growing or unpredictable traffic may prefer ProFeedWP’s unlimited-view model.
Your LinkedIn feed will not become more expensive simply because more people visit your website.
Design and customization
Both products provide enough design control for most business websites.
ProFeedWP includes:
- Grid, list, masonry and carousel layouts
- Responsive column settings
- Multiple themes
- Custom colors, spacing and border radius
- Image aspect-ratio controls
- Text truncation
- Options to show or hide images, videos, dates and other elements
- Configurable automatic refresh intervals
- Support for LinkedIn company and Showcase Pages
These settings are available directly in the WordPress block editor.
Elfsight also has strong customization options, including five layouts, post filters, popups, sharing buttons, different card styles and custom design settings. With Elfsight, the feed is configured in a separate external dashboard rather than directly within WordPress.
When should you choose ProFeedWP?
ProFeedWP is the better fit when:
- Your website runs on WordPress
- You specifically need a LinkedIn company feed
- You want SEO-friendly feed content included in your page’s HTML
- You want to manage the feed inside WordPress
- You use Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi or another WordPress builder
- You do not want monthly view limits
- You want multiple feeds on the same website
- You prefer annual or lifetime pricing
- You are an agency handing the website over to a client
ProFeedWP is deliberately focused. It is not an all-in-one social media platform—it is designed to make LinkedIn company feeds work well in WordPress.
When should you choose Elfsight?
Elfsight may be the better choice when:
- Your website does not use WordPress
- You manage websites across several platforms
- You need many different widget types
- You want LinkedIn keyword or hashtag filtering
- Your traffic fits comfortably within the selected view limit
Elfsight offers more than 90 website widgets, including feeds, reviews, forms, chat tools and galleries. If you plan to use several of them, its broader platform can be valuable.
Final verdict
Choose ProFeedWP for SEO-friendly LinkedIn feeds that load with your WordPress page, unlimited views, and full control from the WordPress editor. Cached post text is included directly in your page’s HTML.
Choose Elfsight if you need a broad collection of externally managed widgets that can be used across many website platforms.
