Pricing — launch pricing is live

The part that keeps your site safe is the free part.

All 79 operations, the preview gate, the snapshots, the verification, the audit ledger and every console control ship in the free plugin.

Pro is a separate add-on that registers 16 more operations into the same dispatchers. It buys you reach, not permission — nothing that protects your site sits behind the licence, and nothing that is free today moves behind it later.

Cue 2 — first light

Free — 79 operations, and every control.

Operations
All 79 of them

Content, media, menus, Elementor, custom fields, SEO, comments, users, site settings, system.

Safety
Preview, capability check, snapshot, verify, roll back

The five gates, on every write, with no way for a caller to skip one.

Console
Six tabs in wp-admin

Home, Connect an app, History, Health, Permissions and Tools — the whole surface, and the switches that govern it.

Controls
Write pause, per-module and per-operation switches, revoke

None of them reachable by an agent.

There is no seat count, no call quota, and no trial clock. The free plugin is the whole safety model and the whole surface an agent needs to run a WordPress site.

SiteHelm is open source. The plugin, its tests, and the operation reference are all in the repository.

How to install it

Cue 3 — dawn

Pro — 16 more operations, same rails.

Pro is for the work that spans a whole site or a whole shop: settings rather than single posts, fifty posts rather than one, a product catalogue rather than a page.

8 ops
SEO (Pro)

Site-wide SEO settings, schema, the 404 log and redirections, and bulk fixes across up to fifty posts at once.

8 ops
WooCommerce (Pro)

Products read and edited; orders and customers read only, and always will be.

Licence
Checkout, invoices and updates through Freemius

A licence key activates the add-on on the number of sites the tier covers, and is moved between sites from your own account.

Cue 4 — blackout

What a licence will never buy.

A paid tier that unlocks a safety control is a threat dressed as a feature. SiteHelm does not sell one.

An unlicensed site calling a Pro operation is refused with IntegrationUnavailable and told exactly what is missing. It is never quietly ignored, and it never degrades into a partial write.

Never
Preview, snapshots, verification or rollback

Free, on every write, permanently.

Never
An existing free operation moved into Pro

Pro adds operations. It does not take any away.

Never
Arbitrary PHP, SQL, or filesystem access

Not at any price. These are excluded from the product, not from a tier.

Cue 5 — day

Buy SiteHelm Pro

Launch pricing is applied at checkout. Every link on this site carries it — use one of them rather than typing the store address by hand.

Not sure yet? Install the free plugin, point your agent at it, and watch a preview or two before you decide. Pro activates on the same install without reconnecting anything.
