WPMU DEV pricing carries more weight when hosting, plugins, management, reports, and support would otherwise be purchased separately.
WPMU DEV wins pricing when you total the full agency toolkit instead of a hosting subscription alone.
As of August 17, 2026, Flywheel pricing starts from a premium managed-hosting position, while WPMU DEV makes a broader multi-site platform argument.
Flywheel pricing remains defensible when a team only wants high-touch hosting for a smaller set of creative sites.
