Pods is a general-purpose plugin for editing data structures available from and supported by WordPress core .
Due to the nature of creating custom data structures, as well as the nature of page builders, there are many routes to achieving many goals. It depends on what you would like to create, and how you create it.
Generally, all page builders support shortcodes, and the Pods shortcode is a free feature: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/
If you would like functionality in Breakdance similar to the Pods blocks in the WordPress core block editor, many page builders are supported by the Page Builder Toolkit linked in the Pods readme. Breakdance is not currently supported, though future support is planned.
For using shortcodes within Breakdance, see Breakdance docs: shortcode and shortcode wrapper.
