You're leaving WP Engine. Here's the switch math.
Free white-glove move. Leftover WP Engine time becomes JuJu time — up to 12 months, at our price. We don't write a check. Domain registration and yearly renewal. Ten mailboxes. $19.95/mo or $199/yr. Price is the price.
Full dated table, asterisk and all: /vs-wpengine. This page is the close, not a second copy of that grid.
Already on WP Engine — not still shopping the brochure
You already pay them. You're looking up “WP Engine alternative” because the invoice, the extras, or the work on the site isn't matching what you thought $30* bought.
You run one WordPress site. You want someone on the site, not just a managed server. You want you@yourdomain.com without Google Workspace. You want the .com on the same bill. You want 60 days to settle in after we move you.
You're not buying SOC 2 paperwork or phone support on a higher tier. We won't pretend we're WP Engine's machine. If the site is a heavy Woo catalog or a high-concurrency app, say so first — we'll tell you when this SKU doesn't fit.
What you stop assembling
USD. Switch arithmetic, not the full feature grid. Sources dated on /vs-wpengine (15 August 2026).
| On WP Engine Startup today | After the switch | |
|---|---|---|
| The host bill | “Starting at $30*/mo” — first year, new Essential, not renewals. Years 2–3 unpublished. | $19.95/mo or $199/yr. Price is the price. |
| Domain | Not sold. Separate registrar, about $10–23/yr. | Registration and yearly renewal included |
| Not an email host. Workspace list $7/user/mo. | 10 mailboxes included | |
| Visit overage | 25,000/mo; $2 per 1,000 over | Unmetered, fair use |
| Time left on their term | You keep paying them until it ends — or you walk away from it. | That leftover time becomes JuJu time — up to 12 months, at our price. No check. |
| The move | Their free migration plugin (you run it). | We move you. Old site stays live until cutover. |
| Settle-in window | 60 days on new Startup (blog; TOS carves exceptions) | 60 days on the initial hosting fee. Provisioned domains are not refunded. |
Friendliest published hosting-only case on the compare page: $30/mo held three years is $1,080 vs JuJu $597. If year 2 is the $35/mo month-to-month a PCMag review listed, it's $1,200. Then their extras — registrar plus Workspace — still sit on other invoices. We don't invent a year-2 official WP Engine rate; they haven't published one.
This is switch math, not a second copy of the dated table. Asterisk, overages, AI-add-on language, and every source live on JuJu vs WP Engine.
We don't buy out WP Engine. We add the time here.
If six months are left on WP Engine, we add up to six months to your JuJu plan — at JuJu's price, not theirs. Cap is 12 months. We do not write a check for their leftover bill. We do not refund you the difference between $30* and $16.58.
That's the wedge, with the rest of the host: domain registration and yearly renewal, 10 mailboxes, and a price that is the price. Free white-glove migration. Typical 1–2 business days. Your old site keeps answering until we cut over.
How the move actually runs — screenshots, DNS, what we need from you — is /migrate.
Still not their platform
10 GB NVMe, 256 MB PHP, one site, ten mailboxes. Not a huge WooCommerce catalog. Not a high-concurrency membership app. No contractual uptime SLA — we target 99.9%. Not white-label. We will not invent a speed score against EverCache.
If you need phone support, a written uptime guarantee, or an account manager, that's their Core / Enterprise product. Running several sites? Let's talk volume.
Leave the WP Engine invoice behind
Leftover-time credit, domain, 10 mailboxes. The price is the price.
60-day money-back on hosting · Cancel anytime · Free white-glove migration (typical 1–2 business days) · Leftover old-host time becomes JuJu time — up to 12 months, at our price
Hosting refund: first 60 days of the initial purchase, one guarantee refund per customer (Refund Policy). Domains already provisioned are not refunded.
