From customers
“White label reports look completely on-brand. Our clients have no idea we outsource the maintenance, and that's exactly how we want it.”
“We moved fourteen client sites over in a month. Maintenance went from eight hours a month across the team to under thirty minutes of coordination.”
“Perform pays for itself the first time an update would have broken checkout. Staging before production is non-negotiable for our WooCommerce clients.”
Why the cheapest plan often costs more
A $20/month budget plan shifts risk back to you when something breaks. One emergency repair often exceeds a year of proper maintenance.
Without proper maintenance
- Automated plugin updates (no staging)
- Weekly same-server backups
- Basic malware scan (no removal)
- Email-only support (48–72hr response)
Average repair cost: $500–$2,000+
With WPOPS maintenance
- Daily off-site backups with verified restores
- Staged updates before production (Perform and above)
- Malware removal and incident response on every plan
- 24/7 support on every plan
- Human review on every update batch
Cost of prevention: from $49/month
How it works
Our maintenance process
Every site follows the same rhythm — audit, protect, update, report. You get visibility without managing the technical layer. Full maintenance service details.
Onboarding audit (within 48 hours)
After you grant access, we document plugin inventory, backup state, and security posture within 48 hours. This is the written baseline, not full foundation setup yet.
Foundation setup (days 3–5)
We configure daily off-site backups, uptime monitoring, security hardening, and staging (Perform and above). First maintenance window is scheduled for low-traffic hours.
Daily backup & verify
Off-site backups run daily with restore testing, not just scheduled jobs.
Staged updates
Updates applied to a staging copy first on Perform and above; verified before production. Care uses verified pre-update backups and human-reviewed batches.
Security scan & harden
Firewall rules, login protection, and malware scans on every maintenance cycle. Malware removal and incident response are included on every plan.
Monthly care report
Updates applied, backup status, uptime, and performance snapshot sent by email.
What you get in every plan
Core protection on Care; staging and priority on Perform and above.
Staging verification (Perform and above)
On Perform and above, updates are tested on a copy of your site before going live, so a plugin conflict doesn't take production down. Care includes human-reviewed update batches and verified pre-update backups.
Daily backups
If something goes wrong, we restore to yesterday, not last week. Backups live off-site, away from your hosting account. Included on every plan.
Malware removal and incident response
We don't just flag the problem; we fix it. Full remediation and hardening are included on every plan, including Care.
24/7 support
Every plan includes 24/7 support. Priority support (faster first response) starts on Perform and above. Availability is not the same as response priority.
Uptime monitoring
We get alerted before your customers notice. Most incidents are triaged before business hours.
Security hardening
Firewall rules, login protection, and ongoing scans reduce the attack surface between update cycles.
Human review of update batches
Automated pushes are cheap until they aren't. Every batch gets eyes on it before production.

WordPress maintenance pricing should reflect store risk, not just plugin counts.

FAQ
WordPress maintenance pricing, billing, and plans — before you check out.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All WPOPS plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts and no setup fee. You can cancel anytime from your client portal or by emailing hello@wpops.net.
Is there a setup fee?
No setup fees on any plan. WordPress maintenance pricing is straightforward. You pay the monthly plan rate from day one.
What if I need more than one site?
Each plan covers one site. Agencies managing 5+ sites qualify for bulk discounts. White Label plans are built for multi-site management.
Do you offer annual billing?
Monthly billing is standard. Contact us at hello@wpops.net to discuss annual pricing options.
What happens if my site gets hacked?
Malware removal and incident response are included on every plan, including Care, and are not billed as an emergency add-on after the fact. When an uptime or security alert fires, we triage first: confirm whether the site is defaced, injecting spam, redirecting visitors, or silently backdoored. We then isolate compromised files, clean the database, rotate credentials, and harden the common entry points (outdated plugins, weak admin users, open XML-RPC abuse). After cleanup we re-scan, verify key pages and forms still work, and document what changed so you have a record for hosting or Google if needed. Every plan includes 24/7 support; Perform and White Label get priority handling because staging and proactive monitoring catch most infections before visitors do. Typical cleanup without a care plan runs $500–$2,000 and days of downtime. The plan is priced to make that a non-event.
Do you work with WooCommerce sites?
Yes. WooCommerce stores needing staging-based checkout and payment-gateway checks should choose Perform, from $59/month.
How is WPOPS different from WP Buffs?
Our plans start at $49/month vs WP Buffs at $89/month. That is $480/year in savings on comparable care plan features.
What hosting providers do you support?
We work with any host that supports WordPress: WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudways, SiteGround, Flywheel, and self-hosted VPS setups.
What's the difference between your $49 plan and a cheaper service?
Budget services often push updates live without staging, run weekly same-server backups, and scan for malware without removing it. WPOPS Care includes daily off-site backups, human review of every update batch, malware removal, incident response, and 24/7 support. Staging verification and priority support start on Perform ($59/mo) and above.
Can I change plans after signing up?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime; changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. No penalties or re-onboarding fees.
What if a plugin update breaks my site?
We restore from the pre-update backup and investigate the conflict. On Perform and above, staging verification catches most issues before production. See our emergency support process for how we handle active downtime.
Do you handle plugin license renewals?
We flag plugins approaching license expiry in monthly reports. Renewals stay with you on Care and Perform; agencies on White Label typically bundle renewals in client billing. On White Label + Edits we can apply renewals as part of unlimited small development edits when you provide licenses.
