Pricing — launch pricing is live

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

All 115 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 51 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 — 115 operations, and every control.

Operations

All 115 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 — 51 more operations, same rails.

Pro is for the surfaces the free plugin does not reach: the settings behind your posts rather than the posts, a product catalogue, the plugin list. Batch size is not one of them — changing fifty posts under a single preview is free.

6 ops

SEO (Pro)

Site-wide SEO settings, per-post schema, and the Rank Math 404 log and redirections.

8 ops

WooCommerce (Pro)

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

7 ops

Plugins & themes (Pro)

Activate, deactivate, switch theme, update and install — acting on the site’s own extensions, behind the same gates as everything else.

6 ops

Elementor (Pro)

Popups, dynamic tags and brand kits — the Elementor Pro surfaces, behind one gate.

18 ops

Code (Pro)

Snippets, site-wide CSS and JS, and widget, block and theme-template scaffolds — with the recovery path built before the feature.

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

Unguarded code, SQL, or filesystem access

Not at any price. Code exists only behind the Pro Code module's guard; SQL and filesystem passthrough are excluded from the product entirely.

Cue 5 — day

Pick a size. Everything else is the same.

The tier is how many sites the licence activates on. Every tier gets every Pro operation — there is no feature held back for the expensive one. Each yearly tier can also be bought once, from $79, if you would rather not have a renewal to think about.

Every licence carries

Every Pro operation, on every tier
Updates and support for as long as the licence runs
Deactivate a site and move the licence to another
Cancel a renewal any time; the paid term runs to its end

A lifetime licence is the same licence, bought once: no renewal, and updates and support for as long as SiteHelm is sold.

The prices above are what checkout charges — no coupon needed. For a limited time, code LAUNCH20 takes a further 20% off the first payment and every renewal. Type it into the coupon field at checkout.

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.
