Overview
What Flywheel does
Flywheel offers managed WordPress hosting with workflow tools for building sites for yourself and for clients. Plans are sized by sites, monthly visits, storage and bandwidth. It suits a designer, freelancer or small agency building sites for clients.
What you pay
The pricing page shows yearly billing. Starter is USD 300 a year (shown as USD 25 a month) for 1 site; Freelance USD 1,150 a year for up to 10 sites; Agency USD 2,900 a year for up to 30 sites. Annual plans include two months free. Extra sites cost USD 20 a month or USD 200 a year. Prices are in USD, may vary by server location, and taxes are not stated.
Limits that change the choice
Starter includes 25,000 monthly visits, 10 GB of storage and 50 GB of bandwidth; Freelance 100,000 visits, 20 GB and 200 GB; Agency 400,000 visits, 50 GB and 500 GB. A visit is a unique IP address in 24 hours, after known bots are removed. Sites are not throttled; extra visits cost USD 1 per 1,000 and extra storage USD 1 per GB. The FAQ example: 30,000 visits on Starter gives a USD 5 overage ((30,000 − 25,000) ÷ 1,000 × USD 1).
Backups, migration and support
Backups run every night and are kept for 30 days, and nightly backups can be restored. Flywheel's team migrates every one of your sites free. Support is by 24/7/365 chat. New plans have a 60-day money-back guarantee, but Agency and Custom plans are excluded.
What the documentation leaves open
Monthly prices are not shown, and the asterisk on the overage rate is not explained. The plan comparison lists staging sites without showing which plans include them. The refund FAQ mentions Tiny and Startup plans that are not in the current table.
When to compare alternatives
WP Engine Essential uses similar site and visit tiers and bills monthly or yearly, with extra sites at USD 20 a month. Pressable includes staging and sandbox sites for each install and charges USD 1.20 per 1,000 extra visits. Kinsta publishes monthly prices and a free first month on select plans.
Before you buy
Total the monthly visits of every site you will host, since one plan's allowance covers them all, and add the expected overage. Ask Flywheel for the monthly price and confirm staging is included on your plan. If you choose Agency, note that the money-back guarantee does not apply.
