Oxygen Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives

Overview

Oxygen is a visual site builder for developers, also made by Soflyy.^[8] Its website distinguishes the current product from “Oxygen Classic”, the earlier generation, which remains linked for existing users. The current release, Oxygen 6.2, is promoted as the “MCP Edition”: AI agents such as Claude, Codex or Cursor can build pages, custom content types and templates in Oxygen through an MCP connection, after which the site can be edited visually, and a free trial with the full editor is offered.^[18]

Oxygen’s licensing is its most distinctive feature. The vendor sells one product, a Lifetime Licence for $199.50, paid once and described as “not per year, not per site, not per seat”; it includes the complete visual editor, all AI tooling, unlimited sites and client projects, lifetime updates and lifetime support, with a 60-day money-back guarantee.^[8] There is no higher tier.^[8]

Oxygen is aimed at developers who want precise control and are comfortable with CSS and PHP concepts. Its drawbacks are a steeper learning curve than design-oriented builders, a smaller pool of templates, and the need for existing Oxygen Classic users to plan any move to the current generation.
