Plan comparison: all PowerSEC plans

Updated October 7, 2026 237 views

Everything that runs on your own WordPress site is free on every plan. Paid plans add services that run on PowerSEC Central: cloud backups, the live malware feed, scheduled rescans, AI review, and alerts sent by Central. Prices are per site.

Free — $0

For trying PowerSEC and for sites that only need monitoring.

  • Up to 10 connected sites
  • Malware scanning with built-in signatures, daily by default (you can choose hourly to monthly)
  • Daily automatic vulnerability check for core, plugins, and themes, with actively exploited (CISA KEV) vulnerabilities flagged first
  • Core and plugin checksum verification
  • Firewall with built-in rules, updated with each plugin release
  • Login protection: brute-force lockout, an optional email login code (a second sign-in step, off until you turn it on), CAPTCHA, and magic-link login
  • Local backups (database, files, or full), kept on your server until you delete them
  • Single updates for plugins, themes, and core
  • Alerts sent by the plugin to the channels you set up: email, Slack, Discord, webhook, Splunk, Datadog, syslog, PagerDuty
  • Not included: cloud backups, the live malware feed, AI Advisory, bulk updates, alerts sent by Central

Backup Only — $10/month or $100/year per site

For sites that need off-site backups but not Pro security automation.

  • Everything in Free
  • Scheduled cloud backups: a weekly full backup and a daily differential, each with a complete copy of the database
  • Database, file, and full restore
  • SHA-256 checksum verification after every upload
  • 25 GB cloud storage, 7 restore points, up to 5 GB per backup

Pro Protection — $19/month or $180/year per site

For active sites. 14-day free trial: a card is required to start, and you are not charged until the trial ends.

  • Everything in Free, with Pro automation active on this site
  • Unlimited connected sites for monitoring (fair use)
  • Live malware feed from Central, updated daily
  • Central-scheduled vulnerability rescans and virtual patching rules
