Hello @zebracrossing,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand that some free plugins and themes can be perceived as mere marketing tools. However, I’d like to assure you that WP Staging’s free version is designed to genuinely provide real value to WordPress users.
Unlike many other free plugins, WP Staging offers full cloning capabilities without limitations. You can create complete backups of your website, even for large sites, as there are no file size restrictions. Additionally, the free version includes a backup restore feature, which is often locked behind a paywall in similar plugins.
Our goal has always been to empower WordPress users with a reliable and fully functional tool that can meet most needs without requiring an upgrade. The Pro version is available for those with advanced requirements, but the free version stands strong on its own.
I appreciate feedback like yours, as it helps us better communicate the value we aim to provide. If you have further suggestions or specific concerns, I’d be happy to hear them.
Best regards,
René, Founder
WP Staging Team
