WPClientHub vs. ManageWP
The free, GoDaddy-backed dashboard most agencies have already tried. Owned by GoDaddy.
What each product actually ships
Every WPClientHub row here is live today and priced on our pricing page — nothing on this list is a roadmap item. Competitor rows are sourced to ManageWP’s own pricing page and public documentation; where we couldn’t verify a capability, we say so instead of guessing.
| Feature | WPClientHub | ManageWP |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat: Free / Studio $19 / Agency $49 / Scale $99 (unlimited sites), by site count | Free core + per-site add-ons, or a $150/mo bundle (up to 100 sites) |
| Free tier | Up to 3 sites — updates, backups, uptime, security, SEO Health, AI Visibility, client billing | Yes — unlimited sites, core checks and a monthly cloud backup |
| Where backups live | On the client’s own server first, then storage you own (S3, B2, Wasabi, R2, SFTP) — we never hold the archive | ManageWP’s own cloud storage (add-on, $2.75/site/mo for more than the free monthly snapshot) |
| AI Visibility (AI-crawler checks + what ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini say about the business) | Included on every tier, including Free | Not offered |
| SEO Health (on-page crawl score) | Included on every tier; white-label PDF from Studio | An "SEO Ranking" add-on ($1.25/site/mo) tracks keyword rank — a different feature, not an on-page crawl score |
| Uptime monitoring | Included on every tier, 60-second checks | Add-on, $1.25/site/mo |
| Security / vulnerability scanning | Included on every tier — plus a daily file-integrity check and security alerts | Add-ons: Automated Security Check $1.25/site/mo + Vulnerability Protection $2/site/mo |
| White-label client reports | Included from Studio | Add-on, $1.25/site/mo |
| Help desk & client portal | Included on Agency and Scale, magic-link sign-in, no per-client charge | No help desk; clients and teammates can be given access to the ManageWP dashboard |
| Client billing, 0% platform fee | Included on every tier — your own Stripe or direct invoicing | Not found in ManageWP’s published feature list |
Cost at 10, 25, 50 and 100 sites
A full year, using each vendor’s own published rate for the closest like-for-like feature set. The green cell wins at that site count — neither column wins at every row, and that’s the point.
| Sites | WPClientHub | ManageWP |
|---|---|---|
| 10 sites | $228/yr ($19/mo) | $1,620/yr ($135/mo) |
| 25 sites | $228/yr ($19/mo) | $1,800/yr ($150/mo) |
| 50 sites | $588/yr ($49/mo) | $1,800/yr ($150/mo) |

- WPClientHub — wpclienthub.com/pricing.htmlFlat, published tiers (from 22 Oct 2026) — Free (3 sites), Studio $19/mo (25), Agency $49/mo (100), Scale $99/mo (unlimited sites under fair use — past 500 connected sites we raise the ceiling on request). Monthly rates; yearly is ten months' money.
- ManageWP — managewp.com/pricing/Free core (unlimited sites, monthly cloud backup, basic checks) plus per-site add-ons, or a $150/mo bundle covering every add-on for up to 100 sites. We cost the full add-on stack here — the closest like-for-like comparison to what WPClientHub includes in every tier — using whichever of a-la-carte or the bundle is cheaper at that site count.
What moving from ManageWP actually involves
- Run both in parallel. Install our WPClientHub One plugin alongside ManageWP — nothing about connecting a site requires removing your existing tool first, and you can keep it running for as long as you want a second opinion.
- Connect each site. Paste a one-time pairing code from the WPClientHub dashboard; that mints a per-site key pair and starts scoring the site within a minute. No WordPress passwords are stored.
- Backups start fresh, on purpose. We don’t import ManageWP’s historical backup archives — your first WPClientHub restore point is taken on the client’s own server as soon as the site connects, and whatever ManageWP already stored stays exactly where it is, untouched.
- Recreate schedules and routes by hand. Report schedules, client contacts and notification routes are a one-time setup cost we won’t pretend away — there’s no automatic import for those yet.
- Cut over on your own clock. Once every site is connected and you’ve seen a clean scan, cancel or downgrade ManageWP whenever you’re ready. There’s no forced cutover date.
ManageWP’s own cloud backups stay exactly where they are — we don’t import them, and you don’t need to delete them before or after connecting a site to us.
