Automattic has just announced an affordable WordPress Starter plan to help people kick off their website in just a few minutes, but it is really worth your money in the long run? Let’s dive deep into this review.

WordPress Starter Plan

A cheaper plan curated only for the people who just need a basic website that looks like it had made in 1995. This plan does not support any plugins and will show ads to help make Automattic the revenue from your hard work.

Summary

Anyone can get unlimited features in just USD 2.88/month from any other host than what WordPress Started Plan is offering in USD 5/month. We do not recommend getting this plan.

1.9

62% of the world’s websites use WordPress as their CMS (Content Management System) to create different kinds of websites from Landing pages to blogs to full-fledged e-commerce websites.

To create a website usually, people had to get a hosting and a web developer to create the website if they want a professional one. But to cut all those costs, WordPress curated a plan that is easy on everyone’s pocket and anyone can get started with creating their own website in a few minutes.

What does this plan offer?

You get the following thing in the starter plan;

  • Domain for 1-year without any cost
  • Accept donations or subscriptions
  • 6GB of storage
  • Google Analytics 4 integration
  • 3 months subscription to professional email
  • Unlimited website users

WordPress Starter Plan Review

Let’s dive into what is right and what is wrong in this plan.

Pros

Good for basic users

If you just want a simple website, it is good for you as it gives you a little number of resources to get your project going.

Good for cutting costs (only if you know how to develop a website)

It is a real cost-cutter if you’re a web developer, developing simple websites with Gutenberg would be easy.

Good security

Since your website will be hosted on the WordPress core servers, these will give you an edge by making your website unhackable.

Cons

Storage is too low

The storage is very low, which that means, once you reach the threshold, you’ll have to delete the previous images to add new ones.

No WordPress plugins

No support for WordPress plugins means no professional websites. Plugins are a powerhouse of any WordPress website, having no support for WordPress plugins is like driving a car without an engine.

No WooCommerce support

You can’t sell if you are looking for WooCommerce, which means this plan is not suitable if you’re trying to create a store.

Ads Included

You’ll be seeing ads at the bottom of every page and the revenue of that ads will go to Automattic, the parent company.

No SEO

No SEO (Search Engine Optimization) = No Digital Visibility. This is something that makes the plan totally worthless. We live in the era of SEO, and if there is no SEO, then what is the reason for having a website?

No Video

You won’t be able to upload videos on this plan.

No Monetization

You won’t be able to monetize the websites hosted on it.

Is it worth your money? Is it good for you?

After analyzing everything about this product we can say the WordPress starter plan does not worth your money. Reason? You can get a number of great hosting in just USD 2.88/month from Hostinger or Namecheap which gives you full authority to do whatever you want to do with your website.
