The best MainWP alternative for managing WordPress websites

Modular DS is an all-in-one cloud-based platform for managing your WordPress websites, with an easy-to-use interface and regular improvements shaped by user feedback. Compare it to MainWP and see why more agencies and freelancers are switching.

No hosting setup, no hassle
MainWP is a self-hosted tool, so you need to handle its setup, updates, and security. It requires installing at least two plugins, plus extensions for additional features, which can consume server resources and slow down your sites. Modular DS is fully hosted in the cloud. Just sign up, connect your websites, and start managing—without worrying about hosting or risking performance.

Always improving to grow with you

New features in MainWP can vary depending on extensions and community development, making growth feel inconsistent. Driven by user feedback, Modular DS is constantly improving with new updates. Our mission: to save you time and help you focus on growing your business.

Fixed plans, all features included

MainWP is free at its core, but it requires premium add-ons to match what Modular DS offers in one plugin. With our platform, there’s no need to piece together multiple plugins or extensions. All core features are included in every plan for a fixed price, and you can try it for free first.

Security handled for you

MainWP’s security depends on your hosting environment and setup. With Modular DS, all your data is securely hosted on AWS servers in Europe, GDPR-compliant, and protected by regular audits so you never have to manage or monitor security yourself.

Everything you need in one intuitive dashboard

Setting up MainWP to fit your needs isn’t simple, requiring time, technical knowledge, and multiple plugins. Modular DS is designed to be easy from day one. It centralizes WordPress site and client management in a clean, intuitive interface that streamlines your daily work.

Our platform is built and constantly improved with professionals like you to ensure the best experience, helping you deliver more value to your clients with less effort.

Modular DS vs. MainWP: Pricing

While MainWP’s free version looks appealing at first, most agencies and freelancers end up paying for premium add-ons to get the features they need. Even with their Pro bundles, licenses only apply to MainWP extensions, so third-party plugins required for integrations come at an additional cost.

With our plans, you get all core features for a fixed monthly or annual price, without hidden expenses. The more websites you manage, the lower the cost per site, keeping Modular DS cost-effective as your business scales.
