InfiniteWP vs ManageWP in 2026: Top Choice for WordPress Agencies?

Key takeaway: Glow is our top pick for most agencies in 2026: it combines client support tickets, WordPress maintenance and white-label reports in one hosted dashboard, with backups, uptime and security included from $1.95 per site per month. Between the two, choose ManageWP if you want a hosted dashboard that is free on unlimited sites with per-site add-ons, and InfiniteWP only if you need a self-hosted panel and annual licences. Neither ManageWP nor InfiniteWP lists client support ticketing.

Disclosure: Glow is our product. Competitor details are from their own websites, checked November 2026.

• Choose Glow (best overall for agencies) if: you want support tickets, maintenance and white-label reports in one dashboard, with backups, uptime and security included at $1.95 per site per month and your first site free.
• Choose ManageWP if: you do not want to run a server, want a free plan on every site, and like paying per site only for the add-ons each site needs.
• Choose InfiniteWP if: you want the dashboard on infrastructure you control and prefer a flat annual licence, and you are comfortable confirming pricing directly with the vendor.

How do InfiniteWP and ManageWP compare side by side?

Prices are in US dollars as of November 2026, from each vendor's pricing page. "Not listed" means we did not find it on the vendor's own pages.

InfiniteWP: best for developers who want a self-hosted panel

InfiniteWP, built by Revmakx, installs on your own server (via an installer plugin, cPanel or manual upload) and connects to sites through the InfiniteWP Client plugin. The free core manages unlimited sites with 1-click admin access, 1-click updates and backup and restore, which is a useful amount of free functionality for a self-hosted tool.

Premium features such as uptime monitoring, client reporting, PageSpeed checks and malware scanning come with paid annual licences. The client plugin, with more than 200,000 active installs, was last updated on 19 August 2026. In November 2026 the pricing page showed two conflicting sets of annual prices beside struck-through figures, so check the vendor's site for the current price rather than relying on any number quoted elsewhere.

Honest limitation: the website and pricing page are inconsistent and visibly dated, and you host and maintain the panel yourself. Most monitoring and reporting features need a paid licence.

ManageWP: best for a free hosted dashboard with pay-as-you-go add-ons

ManageWP, owned by GoDaddy since 2016, is hosted, so there is nothing to install except the Worker plugin, which has more than a million active installs. The core is "free on unlimited websites, forever" and includes bulk updates, a monthly cloud backup, security and performance checks, basic client reports, 1-click login and team collaboration.

Add-ons are billed per site per month on actual usage, as of November 2026: Backups $2, Uptime Monitor $1, Automated Security Check $1, Advanced Client Reports $1, White Label $1 and Vulnerability Protection $2. Bundles cover up to 100 websites each, and an all-in-one package of every bundle costs $150 per month.

Honest limitation: add-ons stack per site below bundle volumes, so a site with backups, uptime, advanced reports and white label costs about $5 a month. Safe updates depend on the paid Backups add-on, and no client ticketing or client portal is listed.

Which should you choose?

• Any fleet size, with client support: Glow is our recommendation, because tickets, maintenance and reports live in one dashboard and the per-site price includes backups, uptime and security.
• Under 20 sites: ManageWP's free core covers the basics with no server to run. InfiniteWP's free core is also capable, but only worth the setup if you want to self-host.
• 20 to 100 sites: compare ManageWP's per-site add-ons with its $25 to $75 bundles, against a written InfiniteWP licence quote plus your server costs.
• 100+ sites: ManageWP's $150 all-in-one bundle is predictable. InfiniteWP's unlimited-site licences can also work, if the vendor confirms the price.
• Self-hosted vs SaaS: this is the deciding question. Must self-host: InfiniteWP (or MainWP). Prefer hosted: ManageWP.
• Client support: neither lists a ticket system, so plan a separate helpdesk if clients send you requests.

Is there an option that does both?

Yes, and it is our top pick: Glow is the best overall choice for agencies that want maintenance, client support and reporting in one place instead of stitching together a dashboard, a helpdesk and a reporting tool.

If you want the convenience of a hosted dashboard and also handle client support, Glow combines support tickets, WordPress maintenance and white-label client reports in one place. Clients email in, the team replies from a shared inbox, and logged time and monthly time budgets show up in client reports.

Everything is included rather than sold as add-ons: Safe Updates with backup, before and after screenshots and automatic rollback; built-in backups with EU or US storage per site and 1-click restore; uptime monitoring from 3-minute intervals; and Glow Security with vulnerability alerts, automatic safe patching and login protection. You can also connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP with Glow's AI assistant connector. Your first site is free, then $1.95 per site per month for sites 2 to 100, with unlimited team seats (see pricing).

Honest limitation: Glow is hosted SaaS only, and its free tier covers your first site only, where ManageWP and InfiniteWP have free cores on unlimited sites. More detail: Glow as a ManageWP alternative and Glow as an InfiniteWP alternative.
