WordPress Maintenance Plans With the Prices Actually Published

Most WordPress care plan pages make you request a quote. That is a sales tactic, not a pricing model — and it usually means the price depends on what they think you will pay. Ours are below, in full, including what each plan does not cover.

Every plan includes tested updates, daily off-site backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning, and a human who replies. The difference between tiers is how fast we respond, how much hands-on time is included, and how much monitoring a revenue-critical site needs.

Response time

Worth knowing: When comparing plans, the price is the least useful number. Ask two questions: are updates tested on a staging copy before going live, and does a person respond or a system? Nearly every cheap plan fails both, and you only discover it the day something breaks.

How to compare any WordPress maintenance plan

Use this on us as well as on anyone else you’re considering.

Updates tested on staging first

The difference between a maintenance plan and a cron job. An untested plugin update is the most common way a working site suddenly breaks.

Backup frequency and retention

Daily is the minimum. Ask where backups are stored — a backup on the same server is not a backup.

Has a restore ever been tested?

Most providers cannot answer this. An untested backup is an assumption.

Response time, in writing

"We respond quickly" is not a commitment. Ask for hours, and ask what happens at 2am on a Sunday.

Who actually does the work

A named person who knows your site, or whoever picks up the ticket that day.

Is hosting bundled in?

Bundled hosting often hides the real maintenance margin and makes leaving harder.

Contract length

Month-to-month means they keep you by being useful. Annual lock-ins do the opposite.

Do you keep your backups if you leave?

You should. Ask before signing, not after.

Plans and pricing

Fixed monthly price, month to month, cancel any time. No bundled hosting and no annual lock-in.

Questions people actually ask

Which plan do most sites need?

Growth at $199/month suits most businesses whose website generates leads — it adds staging-tested updates, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and same-business-day response. Essential is right for a brochure site that mainly needs to stay online and secure. Commerce is for anything taking payments, where an hour of downtime has a measurable cost.

Can I change plans later?

Yes, up or down, at any time, effective the next billing cycle. Most clients start on Essential and move up when the site starts producing real revenue.

Do you maintain sites you did not build?

Yes, and it is most of what we do. We start with an audit of the current state — plugin inventory, security posture, backup situation, performance baseline — and tell you honestly what needs fixing before ongoing maintenance makes sense.

What if my site is already broken or hacked?

We fix it first as a one-off project with a fixed quote, then the plan starts from a clean baseline. It would not be honest to put a compromised site on a monthly plan and pretend maintenance alone will sort it out.

Are there setup fees?

No setup fee for a site in reasonable shape. If the audit turns up work needed before we can maintain it safely, you get a fixed quote for that first and you decide.
