Tendfolio or MainWP?
MainWP installs on a WordPress of yours and leaves backups to third-party plugins. Tendfolio is a hosted service: no dashboard to maintain, our own backups, verified every night.
First, their strengths
Where MainWP is stronger
It costs the same with 5 or 500 sites, there's a lifetime licence, data stays on your server, the code is open and there are more than sixty add-ons.
The differences
Where Tendfolio is different
- Nothing to hostNo dashboard to install, update and secure: we run it.
- Our own backups, verifiedNo backup plugin needed on every site: we take them and every night we check they can be restored.
- Uptime every minuteFrom Pro the check runs every 60 seconds, against the 5 minutes of the built-in monitor.
The monthly bill
Tendfolio and MainWP, with your sites
Updates (with rollback, where it exists), at least daily backups, uptime and client reports: what they cost per month with 3, 10, 25 and 50 sites.
