Run 20 WordPress sites for $100/mo instead of $264+, and save almost $2,000 a year.
Per-site pricing, free done-for-you migrations, and safe updates and a WAF in the plan. The things WP Engine Essential sells as add-ons are in one Console bill.
WPENGINE50 $50 credit · Free migration from WP Engine · 100% money-back first month
For agencies and freelancers running multiple WordPress sites.
Wordify prices are derived from our live per-site rate card. WP Engine figures are public list prices as of September 2026.
Switching from WP Engine? We’ll drop a $50 credit into your account, roughly your first month on us. It stacks with your free done-for-you migration and the money-back first month.
New customers only. One $50 credit per team, auto-applied when you add a payment method (card required). No expiry.
WPENGINE50 Six reasons the switch pays off, starting with the one that hits the invoice hardest.
WP Engine Essential comes in sizes of 1, 3, 10 and 30 sites, and each site past your plan’s count is $20 a month. On Wordify every site is $5, so 20 sites cost $100/mo. On WP Engine, 20 sites need the 30-site plan: $330/mo, or $264/mo on an annual plan.
Automated Safe Updates, a WAF with malware scanning, daily backups, staging and a global CDN are all in one Console bill. On WP Engine Essential, Smart Plugin Manager is $10 a month per licence, and the managed WAF comes with Global Edge Security at $50 a month.
We move every site off WP Engine for you, most within the hour, with zero downtime, and DNS moves only when you approve it. On Essential, WP Engine gives you a migration plugin to run yourself; managed migration comes with Core.
24/7 WordPress engineers, a 2m 12s average human response and 99.3% CSAT. Our SLA promises a first response within an hour, or we credit 25% of your monthly bill, up to $50.
Password-protected preview sites for client sign-off, separate from the sites you pay for, then $2 a month each after five. Every live site also has its own staging site.
WP Engine’s annual prices are first-year pricing for new customers, and their footnote says renewal pricing is subject to change. Our rate card has no introductory price: $5 a site is the rate from your first month, billed by the day, with no contract.
WP Engine Essential includes hosting, backups, staging and a CDN. On top of that, an agency pays for the plan size above its site count, $20 a month for each site past it, and add-ons for safe updates and a managed WAF.

An agency plan at $5 a site ($50/mo minimum) versus WP Engine’s nearest plan at each size. The gap opens the moment you’re running more than a couple of sites.
| Sites | WP Engine plan | WP Engine (monthly) | WP Engine (annual, first year) | Wordify | You save * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Essential 3 + 2 extra sites | $105/mo | $92/mo | $50/mo | $42/mo · 46% |
| 10 | Essential 10 | $130/mo | $104/mo | $50/mo | $54/mo · 52% |
| 20 | Essential 30 | $330/mo | $264/mo | $100/mo | $164/mo · 62% |
| 30 | Essential 30 | $330/mo | $264/mo | $150/mo | $114/mo · 43% |
| 40 | Core (from $400, sales quote) | $400/mo | $400/mo | $200/mo | $200/mo · 50% |
* Savings shown against WP Engine’s annual price, which is first-year pricing for new customers; their footnote says renewal pricing is subject to change. The gap is wider against monthly billing. Above 30 sites WP Engine moves you to Core, sold through their sales team from $400/mo. Wordify’s rate is the same whether you pay monthly or not, with no contract. See the full Wordify rate card →

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).
Nick Gulic 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!
Chris Shull We've migrated nearly 200 sites to Wordify and you can feel the difference immediately when they go live. The platform stands out for its ease of use, fast support, and genuine commitment to continuous improvement.
Martin Fisher WP Engine is a strong platform, and there are cases where it’s the better pick. If any of these is you, it’s worth staying:
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".
At 20 sites, Wordify is $100 a month. WP Engine’s cheapest option for 20 sites is the 30-site Essential plan: $330 a month, or $264 a month on an annual plan, and that annual price is for your first year. At 10 sites it’s $50 against $104. If you want automatic plugin updates with rollback on WP Engine, add Smart Plugin Manager at $10 a month per licence. Ours are included.
The prices on this page are WP Engine’s current Essential plans. Startup, Growth and Scale are no longer on WP Engine’s plans page, so your bill may differ. Send us your latest invoice and we’ll run the comparison for your site count.
Yes, every site, done by our team. Send us your WP Engine login or a backup and we copy each site, test it on staging and cut DNS over when you approve. Most sites are done within the hour, with zero downtime.
No. Switch from WP Engine with code WPENGINE50 and we put a $50 credit in your account, roughly your first month on us. It has no expiry, and it stacks with free migrations and a 100% money-back first month. If Wordify isn’t for you, cancel in the first month and we refund the lot, and you keep a full backup of every site.
No. Wordify bills per site, per day, with no annual contract, no setup fee and no early-termination charge. Cancel any time and billing prorates to the day. WP Engine’s lower Essential prices need an annual plan, and they apply to your first year.
On an agency plan every site is $5 a month, with a $50 monthly minimum, so up to 10 sites cost $50. Each site adds 1 GB of storage and 10 GB of bandwidth to a pool your sites share, and agency plans include five free Dev Sites. A site that needs more can step up on its own: Redis object cache for $10 more a month, or a compute-optimised Pro site for $40 more.
Yes: daily backups, one-click staging, a WAF with malware scanning, a global CDN and Automated Safe Updates are all in your plan. WP Engine Essential includes backups, staging and a CDN, but the managed WAF (Global Edge Security, $50 a month) and Smart Plugin Manager ($10 a month per licence) are add-ons.
Yes. We don’t count visits, so there are no visit caps or per-visit fees. A busier site can add Redis object cache for $10 more a month, or move to Pro, which runs on dedicated Google Cloud C4D resources, for $40 more. You only pay the higher rate on the sites that need it.
A 2m 12s average human response time and 99.3% CSAT over the trailing six months, backed by a one-hour first-response SLA: if we miss it, we credit 25% of your monthly bill, up to $50. The same team handles your migrations.
Yes. We copy each site, test it on staging, and only cut DNS over once you’ve approved it, so there’s no downtime. You keep a full backup throughout, and WP Engine stays live until you cancel.
If you build on Genesis, need WP Engine’s Headless Platform, sell into enterprise procurement that asks for SOC 2, or want dedicated infrastructure with a 99.99% SLA on Core, it’s a reasonable place to stay. For agencies running a fleet of standard WordPress sites and watching the bill, Wordify costs less and includes more.
We migrate every site off WP Engine for free, hands-off and zero-downtime, and you keep a full backup. Don’t love Wordify in your first month? You get 100% of your money back.
