Kosten / TCO i

Subscription. Additional modules and integrations often cost more.

Free plugin, but costs for hosting, premium extensions and maintenance add up quickly.
Hosting & infrastructuur i

SaaS hosting by Lightspeed. No self-management required.

Depends on WordPress hosting. Performance and security vary per provider.
Updates & onderhoud i

Updates are applied automatically.

Regular updates for WordPress and plugins. Conflicts occur regularly.
Performance / snelheid i
