WordPress Maintenance Costs

What does professional WordPress maintenance cost? Transparent prices from €49/month. No hidden costs, cancel monthly.

What does professional WordPress maintenance cost? It is one of the first questions every website owner asks — and the answer varies wildly between providers. From €10 per month for automated update bots to €300+ for agency retainers. On this page we explain exactly what maintenance costs, what determines the price, and what you should look for when comparing providers.

At WP Maintainer, prices are simple and transparent. Our Starter plan costs €49 per month and covers everything a small business website needs: daily backups, weekly tested updates, security monitoring and support. The SMB plan at €79 per month adds daily backups with longer retention, WhatsApp support and an hour of monthly website changes. The Enterprise plan at €149 per month is built for webshops and complex websites, with real-time monitoring, priority support and WooCommerce-specific care.

When comparing prices, look beyond the monthly fee. Ask what is actually included: Are updates tested on staging? Are backups daily and external? Is security monitoring real-time? Is support unlimited or billed per hour? A €20 plan that only runs auto-updates can cost you dearly when an update breaks your site or a hack goes undetected for weeks.

Also consider the alternative costs. Cleaning a hacked website costs €500 to €2,500. A day of downtime for a webshop can cost thousands in lost revenue. And your own time — two to four hours per month spent on updates, checks and troubleshooting — has a real value too. For most businesses, professional maintenance is simply the cheapest option.

Why these prices are fair

Everything included

Our monthly fee covers everything: updates, backups, security, monitoring and support. No setup fees, no per-incident charges, no surprise invoices. The price you see is the price you pay.

Cancel monthly

No annual contracts or lock-in. You can cancel every month. We keep you as a customer through quality, not through contracts.

Cheaper than DIY

Two to four hours of your own time per month, plus the risk of mistakes, plus recovery costs when something goes wrong. Professional maintenance from €49 is almost always the cheaper option.

Frequently Asked Questions

6 questions about wordpress maintenance costs

What does WordPress maintenance cost per month?+
At WP Maintainer: €49 per month for freelancers and small websites, €79 for SMBs, and €149 for webshops and enterprises. All prices exclude VAT and include updates, backups, security, monitoring and support.
Why do prices vary so much between providers?+
The difference is in what is included. Cheap providers often only run automatic updates without testing, backups or real support. Professional maintenance includes staging tests, daily external backups, security monitoring and personal support — that requires expertise and time.
Are there any setup costs?+
No. Starting with WP Maintainer is free. We analyse your website, configure monitoring, backups and security, and start within 24 hours. You only pay the monthly fee.
Can I cancel monthly?+
Yes. All our plans can be cancelled monthly without a cancellation period. No annual contracts, no lock-in.
Is it cheaper to do maintenance myself?+
Only if your time is free and you accept the risks. Count on 2-4 hours per month for updates, checks and troubleshooting, plus €500-€2,500 if your website gets hacked due to a missed update. For most entrepreneurs, professional maintenance is cheaper.
Do you charge per incident for support?+
No. Support is included in every plan. Whether you contact us once a month or ten times, the price stays the same.
