Hidden costs

  • Visit overages billed at $2 per 1,000 visits beyond plan allowance
  • Extra sites beyond plan limit billed around $20/mo per additional site on Startup
  • Annual-billed prices shown on the marketing site often include a first-year-only promotional discount; renewal/steady-state annual rate can be higher than the advertised starting price
  • Month-to-month billing (no annual commitment) costs roughly 17-20% more per month than annual billing
  • Email hosting is NOT included; third-party estimates put it around $6-7 per mailbox per month
  • Smart Plugin Manager and NitroPack optimization add-ons priced/bundled separately on Essential plans (included standard on Core)
  • Numeric 99.99% uptime SLA is marketed prominently for Core/Enterprise tiers; not clearly guaranteed with a published SLA credit policy on Essential (Startup/Professional/Growth/Scale) plans

Runs these stacks well
