No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

The newest reviews are glowing about reliability and time saved across multiple sites, though a couple of reviews from last year flagged slow support and a rockier stretch after the GoDaddy acquisition.

    I have used manage wp for years. It’s never let me down and saved me several times with being able to easily restore backups. Outstanding plugin/service.

    I am using Manage WP for years. Never had any problem. Payment for services transparent as clearest water. Services like Sweden table – take only what you need and like. Bravo ekipa – AAA service!

    I currently manage over 50 websites with this tool, and I’m still very impressed — both with the excellent support and the wide range of features it offers. I also find the pricing very reasonable and well thought out. For individual services, like backups or other more advanced features, there are costs involved, but they are usually minimal, often around or just under one euro. Moreover, almost every action has a free version, which is slightly less powerful. For example, performing backups every 30 days is free. If you want to increase the frequency to weekly, daily, or even hourly backups, it costs a small additional amount, specifically for that site. Typically, when developing something new, you use the paid features to keep everything under control. Later, you can often switch back to the free version without losing much functionality.Well done service and really good User-Support for decades now. There is a feature-request section also, which is well maintained. This topic was modified 7 months, 2 weeks ago by mnahrgang.

    We worked with these people for over 10 years, and then they were bought by the worst — GODADDY! And they have been worse and worse and worse every year. Now they are downright insulting…Their performance, their customer service, their loyalty, all flushed down the toilet. If you don’t pay them right on time, despite 12+ years of loyalty? They cut off services for every account.I mean, if they had any intelligence or business sense, they’d just block access, but no… if you get too busy and don’t change your payment details in time, you have to go in and activate EVERY SERVICE — one at a time, after you have added a new payment method.It’s idiotic, it’s bad business, and it’s going to force us to move to someone with better manners who actually appreciates loyalty and extended client relationships.SHAME ON YOU, ManageWP. We counted on you, and now we never will again. GoDaddy is bad. Everyone knows that. Now you are too… Sad. Predictable. NEXT!!!!
