The best ManageWP alternative for managing WordPress websites
Modular DS is a modern, all-in-one platform for managing your WordPress sites, featuring an intuitive interface and continuous updates based on user feedback. Compare it to ManageWP and discover why more agencies and freelancers are making the switch (and leaving high costs behind).
A platform that evolves with you
Modular DS is built for professionals who want their tools to grow and adapt with their needs. While ManageWP hasn’t introduced significant updates in recent years, Modular DS is continuously evolving, adding new features inspired by user feedback. Our goal: to keep your workflows efficient, secure, and always ahead of the curve.
Simple, clear pricing
Privacy you can trust
Because ManageWP is owned by GoDaddy (USA), some users are unclear about where their data is stored and how it’s handled. With Modular DS, all your data is securely hosted on AWS servers in Europe, ensuring full GDPR compliance and privacy for you and your clients. We never sell your information to third parties.
All-in-one, made for today’s needs
ManageWP set the standard for years, and we appreciate the path they paved. Modular DS takes it a step further, combining WordPress site management and client reporting in one streamlined solution for today’s needs.
Most importantly, we’re building it alongside the professionals who use it every day. Their feedback shapes our roadmap, helping us create the best possible tool to save you time, work more efficiently, and grow your business.
Modular DS vs. ManageWP: Key differences at a glance
Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison between the two platforms, from pricing and user experience to support and innovation.
Pricing comparison
Most advanced features in ManageWP are paid add-ons, charged either per website or in bundles, making costs tricky to estimate and quick to add up.
With Modular DS, you get straightforward plans that include all core features for a fixed price. The more websites you manage, the lower the average cost per site is, making it even more cost-effective as your business scales. Switching to Modular DS means:
With 15 websites, you save $23 every month, or $348 per year if billed annually, compared to ManageWP.
With 30 sites, your savings go up to $65 per month or $852 per year.*
*Savings are calculated by comparing the Modular DS Starter plan with ManageWP’s equivalent features and number of websites, based on 2025 pricing.
Forget about complicated pricing and high costs when managing 20, 50, or even 100 websites. Modular DS keeps WordPress site management affordable and your expenses under control.
