OSM Map Widget for Elementor

65 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

Around 9,000 active installs puts it in niche territory, far below the millions of installs the top Elementor add-on suites reach, but the popularity score is bumped up by a strong rating-to-install ratio.

Update Freshness

15/25

The plugin was last updated in September 2025 and is tested against WordPress 6.8.5, which is a healthy sign for a small free add-on, though update cadence over a longer window is hard to judge from a single timestamp.

User Rating

14/15

A 90 out of 100 from 8 reviewers is genuinely strong, but the sample is small enough that a few unhappy users could shift it noticeably.

Support Health

8/15

With zero support threads opened and zero resolved, there is no public evidence of how the developer handles bugs or questions, which is a real risk for a free side project.

WP Compatibility

11/15

It requires WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.3, which covers the vast majority of modern sites, and it is confirmed working on the current 6.8.5 release.

What It Does

OSM Map Widget for Elementor adds an interactive OpenStreetMap block to the Elementor page builder, letting you drop maps with multiple custom markers onto any page without writing code. It uses the free OpenStreetMap tile library rather than charging for a Google Maps API key, which keeps the cost of ownership at zero.

Who It's For

This is a good fit for small site owners, community directories, and local businesses that need a simple, no-cost map embedded in an Elementor page and do not want to manage a Google Maps billing account. It works best when your needs are modest, such as one or two maps per site with a handful of pin locations.

Who Should Skip It

If you need driving directions, geocoding, Street View, or rich place data, you should skip this plugin and use a Google Maps based solution instead, since OpenStreetMap tiles do not include those features.

The Bottom Line

OSM Map Widget for Elementor is a lean, no-cost way to add OpenStreetMap blocks to Elementor pages, and its 90 out of 100 rating from 8 users is encouraging. The trade-offs are real though: a small install base, no track record of public support, and a feature set that is narrower than what a paid or more popular map plugin delivers. It is worth trying on a low-stakes site, but do not build a business-critical directory on it without testing thoroughly first.
