How we compare

The honest comparison.

Branch environments shouldn’t be a $500/mo enterprise feature. Here’s how managed.dev stacks up against mainstream managed WordPress hosts and Pantheon.

Comparison reflects publicly documented offerings as of 2026 and is a general guide. Competitor features and pricing vary by tier and change over time. “Mainstream managed WP” refers to hosts such as WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, Pressable, Rocket.net and Cloudways.

Questions

Pricing FAQ.

What is a branch environment?
A fully isolated copy of your site (its own database and files) created from a git branch. Push a branch and you get a live preview URL to review changes, run QA, or share with a client, then promote it to production when it’s ready. Every plan includes them; the tier sets how many branches per site.
Do you cap traffic or charge for overages?
No. There are no visit caps and no bandwidth overage charges. Plans are scoped by sites, branch environments per site, and storage, not by how popular your sites get.
How does the free trial work?
The Starter plan comes with a 14-day free trial: you won’t be charged until it ends, and you can cancel before then at no cost. The Developer, Business, and Agency plans are billed from the start. Sign-up and billing happen securely at app.managed.dev.
Can I migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. Migration is free and white-glove on every plan. We move your site from WP Engine, Kinsta, Pantheon, a VPS, or anywhere else, and you review it on a branch environment before going live.
What if I need more than the Agency plan?
Talk to sales. Custom limits are available, and the platform supports per-account overrides for sites, branches, and storage.
