AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Asteris Blocks is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Asteris Blocks works
Show full descriptionShow less
50 free Gutenberg blocks. Full-featured, and free forever.
Asteris Blocks gives you a polished, alphabetised block library covering everything you need to build landing pages, blog posts, and product pages. Every block is complete — nothing is locked behind a paywall, and the plugin never nags you to upgrade.
What you get
50 blocks — Hero, Pricing Table, FAQ Accordion (with schema), Recipe Card (with rich results), Comparison Table, Countdown, Cookie Notice, Code Block with syntax highlighter, Image Hotspots, Map (OpenStreetMap), QR Code, Before/After Slider, Table of Contents, and 37 more.
12 pre-built patterns — Hero + Stats, Pricing 3-tier, Full landing page, and more — one-click insert.
60 block style variations — Hero (minimal / split / gradient), Feature Grid (cards / icons-only / bordered / numbered), Pricing (classic / minimal / bordered / highlighted), and dozens more.
Newsletter integrations — Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, Brevo. API keys encrypted at rest (AES-256-CBC). See “External services” below.
Schema.org markup — FAQ + Recipe + AggregateRating JSON-LD validates on Google Rich Results Test.
HTML anchor IDs on every block — link anywhere, jump anywhere.
Native typography + colour controls on every text-bearing block.
100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress, Twenty Twenty-Five.
What you do NOT get
No email-gated features — every one of the 50 blocks is fully functional, free.
No nag screens, no pop-ups, no “your trial expires” timers in your editor.
No tracking. No cookies. No analytics. The only outbound connections are the optional third-party services listed under “External services” below, and they run only when you add the relevant block to a page or configure a newsletter provider.
Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever — funded by our other products, not by upselling you. If you ever want premium section patterns and pro-level design controls, there’s an optional Asteris Blocks Pro — but the free plugin is complete on its own and never pushes you toward it.
Why Asteris Blocks? Built lean on purpose. Here’s what you actually get:
Tiny footprint — about 215 KB zipped, and it loads zero front-end CSS or JavaScript on pages that don’t use an Asteris block.
Only loads where it’s used — the shared stylesheet and script enqueue only on pages where one of your Asteris blocks actually renders. No site-wide weight.
No JavaScript framework — blocks render in PHP with tiny vanilla-JS view scripts; no React or jQuery dependency dragged onto your front end.
50 blocks, 12 patterns, 60 style variations — all free — nothing gated, no “premium” lock icons cluttering the inserter.
Schema built in — FAQ, Recipe and AggregateRating JSON-LD that validates on Google’s Rich Results Test, no separate SEO plugin required.
No phone-home — no tracking, no cookies, no analytics on you. The only outbound calls are blocks you choose to add (Map, Video, embeds) — each documented below.
Accessibility-minded — 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress and Twenty Twenty-Five.
GPL-2.0 — audit it, fork it, keep it forever.
No nag screens — Pro is mentioned once, never a pop-up or a disabled button.
Asteris Blocks Pro Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever. If you want to go further, the optional Asteris Blocks Pro adds:
73 premium section patterns — niche page templates (photographer, music artist, conference, salon, fitness), video + audio sections, premium e-commerce layouts.
The control layer — fine-tune any block’s spacing, responsive visibility, hover states, animations and custom CSS, no code required.
AI Section Generator — describe a section and get a ready-to-edit block layout.
Cloud pattern library — one-click insert from a growing hosted collection.
Same lightweight, no-bloat build. See everything included at asterisblocks.com/blocks-pro.
