The French-made ManageWP alternative
ManageWP charges per site for every option: backups, monitoring and reports are paid add-ons. NexaWP Manager includes them for €19.90/month, no matter how many sites you manage. Here is the honest, numbers-backed comparison.
What does ManageWP really cost you?

Where ManageWP is still strong

- A decent free plan to manage a handful of sites without advanced features.
- GoDaddy backing and its ecosystem integrations.
Where NexaWP makes the difference
- A fixed, predictable price: bill your clients with confidence, your margin does not depend on the number of sites.

- European product: data hosted in the EU, GDPR-compliant, with a DPA available.
- Direct access to the product team: your feedback shapes the roadmap.
Migrate from ManageWP in 5 steps
Migration requires no data export and no downtime: both tools run side by side during the transition.
- 1
Create your NexaWP account
7-day free trial, no credit card. You get immediate access to the multi-site dashboard.
- 2
Connect a first pilot site
Install the NexaWP plugin on one WordPress site (2 minutes) and link it with its API key. The ManageWP worker can stay active, the two plugins do not conflict.
- 3
Validate the key features on that site
Run an update, a backup, check monitoring and generate a client report: you compare both tools in real conditions.
- 4
Roll out to the rest of your sites
Repeat the installation on your other sites, at your own pace. Your clients see no interruption.
- 5
Cancel your ManageWP add-ons
Once migrated, stop the paid add-ons on the ManageWP side and uninstall the worker: your bill goes back to €19.90/month, all included.
Why a flat fee changes everything for an agency
With per-site, per-add-on billing, every new client increases your tooling costs: your margin on a maintenance contract depends on how many sites you already manage. At 30 or 40 sites, the tool becomes an expense line you have to watch every month.
A flat fee reverses the logic: your tooling cost is known in advance, whatever your growth rate. You can sell maintenance contracts at round prices, compute your margin per client, and take on a new site without wondering what it will cost you in options.
It is also a sales argument: daily backups, 24/7 monitoring and client reports are included for every one of your clients, with no trade-off between "what deserves an add-on" and the rest. All your sites get the same level of service.
Migration FAQ
How do I migrate my sites from ManageWP?
Install the NexaWP plugin on each WordPress site (2 minutes per site), connect it to your dashboard, and that is it: there is no data to export from ManageWP. Both tools can run side by side during the transition.
Can I try NexaWP without cancelling ManageWP?
Yes. Both plugins work side by side without conflict. Use the 7-day free trial to compare on your own sites before deciding.
Is ManageWP not free?
The base is free, but the features an agency needs daily (daily backups, uptime monitoring, white label, advanced reports) are add-ons billed per site per month. From a few sites on, the bill exceeds a fixed all-inclusive plan.
Does NexaWP really handle unlimited sites?
Yes. The €19.90/month price does not change whether you manage 5 or 100 sites. That is the core of our model: a predictable cost for growing agencies.
Does my data stay in Europe?
Yes. NexaWP Manager is a French product: data is hosted in the European Union and processing is GDPR-compliant, with a DPA available.
