// why agencies switch

Why agencies choose Wordify over Kinsta

Six reasons the switch pays off, starting with the one that hits the invoice hardest.

Actually managed: one bill, not a stack

Backups, staging, WAF + malware scanning, global CDN, uptime monitoring and free migrations are all in one Console bill. No bolting ManageWP and a separate backup tool on top just to run a fleet. The management is the product.

Per-site pricing, no plan cliffs

Pay for the sites you run, not the next Kinsta tier up. Twenty sites is $100/mo on Wordify, where Kinsta’s WP 20 plan is $284–$340/mo.

Free dev sites for client work

Five free dev sites on Wordify Max ($2 each after that), password-protected, promote to live in a click. Kinsta gives you staging, but not free standalone build environments for every client.

Support with a 1-hour SLA, in writing

A 2m 12s average human response time and 99.3% CSAT, with a one-hour first-response SLA. Miss it and we credit 25% of your monthly cost (up to $50). Kinsta’s support is good; ours is guaranteed in writing.

Free, done-for-you migrations

We move every site off Kinsta for you, with zero downtime, on a schedule you approve. No migration plugin, no maintenance window, no per-site charge.

AI Connector on every plan

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and manage your whole fleet in plain English: provision, clone, push staging, read debug logs, audit and fix every client site in one sentence. Free on every plan.

// the stack tax

"Managed" hosting you still have to manage isn’t managed.

Kinsta runs on premium Google Cloud infrastructure and includes the core platform pieces, but the agency bill is still the tier you’ve half-outgrown plus the fleet tools you bolt on to manage sites at scale. "Managed" should mean you don’t assemble that yourself.

From our Google reviews

Agencies that left Kinsta-class hosts for Wordify

Real Google reviews from the WordPress professionals who run client sites for a living.

These guys are freaking great. Price is fair, service is reliable, support is amazing, and migrations are smooooooth. I am very happy with everything, and would strongly recommend to anyone who wants reliable web hosting (especially if you run a web agency).

Best support in the business. Great client interface, fast sites, easy migration process. I've moved all my sites off Siteground and Flywheel to Wordify and am very happy!

// the honest bit

Honestly, when Kinsta is the better pick

Kinsta is a genuinely strong platform, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. There are cases where it’s the better pick, and if any of these is you, it’s worth staying:

  • You need premium-tier Google Cloud in a specific region. Kinsta runs on GCP’s premium tier across 35+ data centres, with deep Cloudflare Enterprise integration. Hard to beat for a single high-traffic site that has to be fast everywhere.
  • You rely on built-in APM. MyKinsta’s application performance monitoring is excellent for diagnosing slow queries and plugin bottlenecks without a third-party tool.
  • You love the MyKinsta dashboard. It’s one of the most polished control panels in managed WordPress, and switching means learning ours.
  • You’re a single-site owner, not an agency. Our pricing advantage compounds with the number of sites. For one or two premium sites, the gap narrows.

Not sure which side of the line you’re on? Tell us what you’re running and we’ll give you a straight answer, even if that answer is "stay where you are".
