MountDev vs ManageWP
A ManageWP Alternative That Does the Work
ManageWP is a low-cost dashboard you run yourself. MountDev runs the nightly work for you, puts your brand on it, and adds speed work and hosting if you want them.
| ManageWP | MountDev | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A dashboard your team runs | Maintenance that runs every night by itself |
| Who clicks update and checks the site | Your team | We do; you are told only if a check fails |
| Price per site | Free core; backups $2, most other add-ons $1 each | Maintenance $29 a site |
| White label | $1 a site add-on | Included on every service |
| Hosting from the same place | Not part of ManageWP | Hosting $29 a site, site email included |
| Contract | None; billed monthly for use | None; card on file, stop any site any time |
Fair is fair
Where ManageWP Is Strong
- Very low prices, and a free tier on unlimited sites.
- A mature dashboard many agencies already know.
The difference
Where MountDev Is Different
- Nobody on your team has to run it: updates are tested on a copy first, and one that still breaks the live site is rolled back right away.
- White label, the monthly report, and the public API are included, not add-ons.
- Hosting and site email from the same place, when you want them.
