The Real Cost of Running MainWP
MainWP's self-hosted model sounds appealing. But most agencies underestimate what it takes to maintain it properly.
Server you have to maintain
MainWP runs on your own WordPress install. That's another site to update, secure, and keep online.
Extensions add up fast
Most useful MainWP features require paid extensions. The cost grows quickly as your needs grow.
No visual regression testing
MainWP applies updates but doesn't verify the site looks correct afterwards.
No built-in AI features
No AI risk scoring, no AI reports, no intelligent changelog analysis. Everything is manual.
SITEOPS - Cloud-Hosted MainWP Alternative With AI Built In

Just install a lightweight plugin on each client site, connect via API key, and you have a complete agency management dashboard - with AI-powered updates, security scanning, and client reports built in from day one.
