The WP Umbrella Alternative

The WP Umbrella Alternative Where Security Is Built In, Not An Add-On.

WP Umbrella charges $1.99/€1.99 per site, per month — and its deeper security (firewall, malware scanning with cleanup) is a separate ~$2/site Security add-on. WP Blazer is a flat plan with the malware scanner included.

The Short Version

Per-site pricing looks cheap at 5 sites and adds up at 50 — and full security costs roughly double per site. WP Blazer bundles malware scanning, blacklist checks, off-server backups, uptime monitoring and bulk updates into one flat plan price.

Why people switch

💰

Flat plan vs $1.99 × every site

At 30 sites, WP Umbrella is ~$60/month before add-ons — ~$120 with Security on every site. WP Blazer's plan price doesn't move when your portfolio grows within its limit.

🛡️

Malware scanning included

WP Umbrella's malware scanning and firewall live in a paid per-site Security add-on. WP Blazer's Security Check — malware, injected code, blacklist status, vulnerable plugin detection — is part of the plan.

📈

Maintenance and promotion together

Beyond updates, backups and monitoring, WP Blazer adds SEO tools and social signal analysis — jobs WP Umbrella doesn't cover — in the same dashboard.

Switching is a clone away

🚚

Migrate in 3 steps

1. Connect your sites to WP Blazer (a few minutes each). 2. Take a full backup of everything — files + database, stored off-server. 3. Turn on your update rules, backup schedules, scans and monitoring. Done — and cloning any site later is just backup + restore.
