Patchstack Adjusts Pricing for Individuals and Small Agencies
• 12 months ago
Good news from Patchstack for individuals and small agencies. Based on community feedback they have now updated their Community Plan options and pricing. The Community Plan used to include only up to 10 sites for vulnerability detection, but no real time protection. Real time protection used to cost $9 per month a site additional.
Now real time protection is only $5 per month per site additional. So to add real time protection for a single site is only $60 a year.
Also, if you need more than 10 sites in the Community Plan you can pay $49 a month to extend that to 50 sites (still with an additional $5 per site per month for real time protection).
These changes fill the gap between the Community Plan and the higher number of sites / real time protection included Developer Plan.
By the way, this makes Patchstack less expensive for vPatching real time protection than Wordfence.
