Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

We’ve been using WP Remote for years, and it’s been fantastic. The ability to manage our sites from one dashboard is such a time-saver, and all the available features cover nearly everything we want to do with our sites.

WP Remote has been a solid solution for managing multiple WordPress websites efficiently. The dashboard is clean, easy to use, and makes it simple to handle updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security checks, and site management from one place. For anyone managing more than a few WordPress sites, this saves a lot of time and removes a ton of manual work. The backup and update workflow is especially useful, and the overall experience has been reliable. Great plugin and service. Highly recommended for WordPress developers, agencies, and anyone responsible for maintaining client websites.

If you have client websites and they are paying you for support, you need this plugin. It not only alerts you that a site is down but also allows you to upgrade remotely all your client sites. Just buy it now!

Our agency currently manages 95 websites, all through WPremote. It’s great for spinning up a quick staging sites, running weekly plugin updates, maintaining backups, and even keeping tabs on who did what via the activity log. Highly recommend WPremote!

WPRemote is truly one the best and most comprehensive WordPress management plugins. Ever since our agency at WPAssist.ca switched over to WPRemote, we’ve been able to streamline our process of managing the updates of the websites we manage. WPRemote is the only plugin that currently includes a robust security feature including brute force protection for the login page, a firewall, bot detection and daily security scans. This is done through their integrated Malcare product. This alone made the switch a no-brainer. We no longer need to install and configure another security plugin like Wordfence. If you’re looking to switch from your current website management plugin, WPRemote is the one to use!
