The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, quartiles and range of the ADVERTISED monthly price of a care plan, per tier and per market, computed only over publishers that put a number on the page - and beside it the share of the market that does not, which is the finding: of the maintenance pages read on 2026-09-10, WP Buffs, SiteCare's own pricing page and ALT Agency published no readable number while GoWP ($0/site/mo entry), FixRunner ($59), Inspirable ($49.99), WP Site Plan ($79), Superpress ($97), Emily Journey ($299) and Valet ($2000/mo) did, a 40x spread on the same phrase. Then the INCLUSION MAP: which of updates, backups, uptime, security, staging, malware removal and content edits each price buys, so a buyer can see what £65 in the UK and $299 in the US actually differ by; and the sterling-versus-dollar split, which nobody publishes side by side.", "embed": "
