Adding image hotspots, collapsible content, or parallax movement to an Elementor page usually means hunting for a single-purpose plugin or pasting in CSS you’d rather not maintain. This JetTricks review looks at Crocoblock’s answer to that problem: a paid plugin that bundles HotSpots, Read More, Satellite and Parallax effects into one toolkit for both the Elementor editor and the Gutenberg block editor. The question is whether four visual effects justify an annual subscription โ and whether the standalone license or the All-Inclusive Plus bundle is the smarter purchase.
Quick Verdict
JetTricks makes sense for Elementor and Gutenberg users who build client sites regularly and want polished interactive effects without writing code, particularly anyone already inside the Crocoblock ecosystem. Site owners who need only one of these effects on a single project, or who are considering a move away from Elementor, will find the recurring cost hard to justify.
Pros
- Four focused effects โ HotSpots, Read More, Satellite and Parallax โ cover common design needs without custom code
- Works with both the Elementor editor and the Gutenberg block editor
- Runs on the free version of Elementor; no Elementor Pro license required
- Available standalone or as part of the All-Inclusive Plus bundle alongside the wider JetPlugins library
- 30-day money-back guarantee, one year of updates, and Zoom & chat support included
Cons
- No free tier or trial version, so you commit money before seeing the plugin in your own build
- Updates and support are capped at one year per term, making renewal an ongoing cost
- Effects depend entirely on Elementor or Gutenberg โ switching editors leaves them behind
- Only four effects, so buyers wanting a wider toolkit are pushed toward the far pricier All-Inclusive Plus bundle.
Core Features
JetTricks centers on four visual effects that ship as ready-made tools inside the editor: HotSpots, Read More, Satellite and Parallax. Each one solves a design problem that would otherwise send you looking for custom CSS or JavaScript, and all of them are available whether you build in Elementor or in the Gutenberg block editor.
HotSpots
HotSpots lets you pin interactive markers onto images or sections, so a single visual can carry several layers of information. It’s the effect most often reached for on product photos, floor plans, maps and diagrams โ anywhere a flat image needs to explain itself.
The practical benefit is that one image replaces a block of explanatory text. A furniture retailer can drop markers on a room shot to name each item; a SaaS site can annotate a screenshot of its dashboard without cropping it into six separate pictures.
Read More
The Read More effect collapses long content behind a toggle, keeping a page tidy without deleting anything. Rather than trimming copy to fit a layout, you hide the overflow and let visitors expand it when they want the detail.
That matters most on pages that serve two audiences at once. Skimmers get a short, scannable page; researchers get the full specification, policy text or long-form description one click away. Long WooCommerce product descriptions and service pages benefit immediately.
Satellite
Satellite attaches secondary elements to a parent element on the page, so decorative shapes, badges or floating labels stay tied to the thing they belong to. It’s a positioning tool rather than a motion effect, aimed at the kind of layered compositions that normally require absolute positioning by hand.
For anyone building landing pages, this removes a common frustration: elements that look right on desktop and drift out of place elsewhere. Orbiting graphics around a hero image or anchoring a “New” tag to a product card stops being a CSS exercise.
Parallax
Parallax applies depth-based movement to page elements as the visitor scrolls, with backgrounds and foreground layers shifting at different rates. Applied selectively โ a hero band, a section divider, a testimonial block โ it gives a static page a sense of dimension.
Used with restraint, it lifts a template-built site out of the flat, stacked-sections look that most page builders produce by default. Used everywhere, it becomes noise, so treat it as an accent rather than a site-wide setting.
Elementor and Gutenberg support
The effects are not locked to a single editing environment. JetTricks works with the Elementor editor and with the Gutenberg block editor, which is unusual for an effects plugin from an Elementor-focused vendor.
That coverage matters for anyone running a mixed site โ a Gutenberg blog alongside Elementor landing pages โ or planning a gradual move between editors.
Part of the wider JetPlugins family
JetTricks sits alongside the other Crocoblock JetPlugins, including JetEngine, JetElements, JetSmartFilters, JetPopup, JetWooBuilder and JetTabs. The effects are designed to apply to page elements generally, so they can be layered onto content produced by those plugins as well as native Elementor or Gutenberg blocks.
For an existing Crocoblock subscriber, that means the effects extend work you have already built rather than sitting in their own silo. For everyone else, it means JetTricks stays useful on its own without dragging in a dependency chain.
Installation and Setup
JetTricks ships as a standard WordPress plugin archive, and getting it onto a site is a short job.
- Purchase a Crocoblock subscription that includes JetTricks, then download the
jet-tricks.zipfile from your Crocoblock account. - Make sure your page builder is active. JetTricks works with the Elementor editor and with the Gutenberg block editor, so at least one of them needs to be installed and enabled before the effects have anywhere to appear.
- In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins โ Add New Plugin โ Upload Plugin and select the ZIP file. There is no need to extract the archive first; WordPress handles it directly.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
- Connect your Crocoblock license so the site can receive updates and support for the subscription term.
- Open any page in your chosen editor and start applying the effects โ HotSpots, Read More, Satellite, and Parallax are the headline additions.
If you subscribed through the All-Inclusive Plus tier, this is also the point to decide which companion JetPlugins you actually need. Installing all of them at once is rarely useful; add JetElements, JetEngine, JetSmartFilters, JetPopup, or any of the others only as specific projects call for them.
Crocoblock maintains a dedicated JetTricks section in its knowledge base with per-widget tutorials, which is the place to go for the finer configuration details of each effect.
Compatibility and Requirements
The requirements here are light. What matters is which editor you build with, since JetTricks extends the editing environment rather than replacing it.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Page builder | Works with the Elementor editor and with the Gutenberg block editor |
| Elementor Pro | Not required โ the free Elementor plugin is sufficient |
| Localization | Translation-ready, ships with a .pot language file |
| Updates | 1 year of product updates included with a subscription |
| Support | 1 year of Zoom and chat support; security issues can be reported through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program |
One practical note: run the site on a currently supported PHP version. End-of-life PHP branches no longer receive security patches, and that applies regardless of which plugins you install.
JetTricks Pricing
JetTricks is a commercial plugin with no free version. Access comes through a Crocoblock subscription, and there are two routes to it depending on whether you want this one plugin or the full JetPlugins catalog.
Custom Subscription โ $43/year
The entry point is $43 per year. This subscription covers the JetTricks plugin itself, access to Crocoblock’s AI-native website builder, one year of product updates, and one year of Zoom and chat support. License options are offered for a single site and for unlimited sites.
That is the tier that matters if you want the HotSpots, Read More, Satellite, and Parallax effects and nothing else from the Crocoblock ecosystem. JetTricks can be bought as a standalone plugin rather than only as part of a bundle, which is worth knowing given how many Crocoblock tools are sold together.
All-Inclusive Plus โ $249/year
At $249 per year, the All-Inclusive Plus tier bundles 22 JetPlugins, including JetEngine, JetElements, JetSmartFilters, JetPopup, JetWooBuilder, JetFormBuilder, JetBooking, JetAppointment, JetThemeCore, JetMenu, JetTabs, JetBlog, JetSearch, JetBlocks, JetReviews, JetStyleManager, JetProductGallery, JetCompareWishlist, JetGridBuilder, JetProductTables, JetMessenger, and JetTricks. It also includes the AI-native website builder, one year of updates, and one year of Zoom and chat support. As with the single-plugin subscription, license options exist for one site and for unlimited sites.
The math is straightforward: if you already own or plan to buy three or more Crocoblock plugins, the bundle starts making sense. If JetTricks is the only tool you need, the standalone subscription is the cheaper path by a wide margin.
What Happens After Year One
Subscriptions are annual, and each term covers twelve months of updates and support. Crocoblock’s FAQ states that websites built with JetPlugins continue functioning normally if you choose not to renew โ you lose access to new updates and the support channel, not the plugin itself. That is a meaningful distinction for anyone wary of subscription software on a client site.
A 30-day money-back guarantee applies, which gives you a reasonable window to test the effects on a staging site before committing.

Alternatives to JetTricks
JetTricks occupies a narrow slot: a focused set of visual effects sold on subscription rather than a sprawling widget library. The main alternatives are broader Elementor add-on suites that bundle effects alongside dozens of other widgets, plus Elementor’s own premium tier.
| Product | Key Difference | Best For | Price Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| JetTricks | Concentrates on four visual effects โ HotSpots, Read More, Satellite and Parallax โ and works in both the Elementor editor and the Gutenberg block editor | Builders who want polished effects without code and may later expand into the wider JetPlugins library | Subscription-based, premium only |
| Essential Addons for Elementor | A large general-purpose widget library for Elementor rather than an effects-focused tool | Sites that need broad widget coverage from a single add-on pack | Freemium |
| Happy Addons for Elementor | Another wide Elementor widget collection, with its extras spread across free and premium builds | Users testing an add-on suite before committing money | Freemium |
| Unlimited Elements for Elementor | Combines a widget library with a custom widget creator for building your own elements | Developers who want to extend Elementor with bespoke widgets | Freemium |
| PowerPack Addons for Elementor | A widget and extension suite for Elementor, positioned as a general design toolkit | Agencies standardizing on one Elementor add-on across builds | Freemium |
| Elementor Pro | The builder’s own premium tier, adding theme building and dynamic content rather than a dedicated effects set | Sites that need template and theme control alongside the page editor | Subscription-based |
Competitor data is sourced from publicly available information as of 2026 and may have changed.
The right pick depends on what is missing from your build. If you already have a widget library and only want HotSpots, Read More, Satellite and Parallax, JetTricks is the tighter fit. If you need a wide toolkit instead, one of the general Elementor suites, or the All-Inclusive Plus bundle, will stretch further per subscription dollar.
