What actually moves the price
This guide is written for the person setting the price, not the one paying it: what the market actually publishes, and a straightforward way to turn that into your own per-site rate.
Two providers can run a near-identical website maintenance checklist, core and plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring, a monthly email, and charge amounts an order of magnitude apart. In the US, Inspirable publishes a starter care plan at $49.99/month, list price $59.99, with managed hosting bundled in. WebFX starts maintenance at $350/month and bills work at $150/hour. Neither is mispriced. They sell to different buyers, with different delivery costs and different promises.
What moves the number is rarely the task list.
Who delivers it
A plan backed by a team with a ticket queue and holiday coverage legitimately costs more than one person's attention, and the hourly rates underneath the two are published. Codeable's 2026 pricing guide prices the same WordPress work twice:
$50-150/hour
Freelancers
$100-250/hour
Agencies
That gap moves the price more than anything on the checklist does: the $49.99 plan and the $350 one above are selling the same tasks and a different promise about who is behind them.
Included hours
Adding included hours is what ends the entry tier's price competition. At FatLab the step from $99 to $199 is roughly a doubling, and at Technology Matters in Australia it is $97 to $197. The mid-to-premium step is often bigger still.
The response promise
"Within 2 business days" and "under 2 hours for critical issues" are different products. SLAs are what premium tiers are actually made of.
What the site does
A brochure site that changes twice a year carries different risk than a WooCommerce store where an hour of downtime is measurable lost revenue. E-commerce is a common trigger for the next tier up in the sample below: WP Butler publishes $99 a month for a WordPress site and $149 for its WooCommerce plan, seowizard.ie in Ireland prices Standard Care at €45 and its eCommerce plan at €195, and one UK provider sends WooCommerce and membership sites to a custom quote rather than publishing a price at all.
Where the client is
The same plan carries a different number in each market, for reasons that have nothing to do with the work. The table below has all five markets in their own currency, and the section under it is why they differ.
What the market charges for website maintenance, by region
Maintenance pricing does not translate across borders, and pretending otherwise produces numbers that are wrong everywhere.
| Region | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States USD | $50-100 | $150-250 | $300-900 |
| 16 pricing pages from 15 providers. 8 of the 15 publish an entry plan under $100, and the median entry plan is $99. Prices quoted here run $49 to $4,500 a month: the highest recurring tiers are $997 at WP Tangerine, $900 at Emily Journey and $899 at Tuesday, and above them sit enterprise retainers at $2,190 and $2,650-4,500. | |||
| United Kingdom GBP | £30-100 | £75-200 | £240-600 |
| 13 pricing pages, 9 of them stating prices ex-VAT. Prices quoted here run £15 to £600 a month, the median entry plan is £50, and three top tiers land at £240-245. | |||
| Western Europe (EUR zone) EUR | €15-50 | €50-120 | €150-250 |
| 18 pricing pages across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Belgium, 10 of them stating prices ex-VAT. Prices quoted here run 9,90 € to 499 € a month, and nothing at all sits between 250 € and 499 €. €69 appears twice as a mid-tier price, at mantpress and sitelabs.es in Spain, and once as an entry price, at antum.nl in the Netherlands. | |||
| Australia AUD | A$80-165 | A$165-350 | A$350-1,000 |
| 11 published price pages, and 'care plan' is the term they use. GST treatment is mixed, 4 inc-GST against 4 ex-GST with 3 saying nothing either way, so check before comparing. The lowest recurring price quoted here is A$79, discounted to A$39.50 for a first month, and the highest is A$9,600: above the band, premium blurs into development retainers. | |||
| India INR | ₹1,000-5,000 | ₹3,000-10,000 | ₹8,000-25,000 |
| 10 pricing pages yielding 8 independent price sets: two reproduce another provider's prices to the rupee. Annual AMC quoting is the convention, and 7 of the 10 quote per year. One page publishes in USD only, $90 to $600 a month, and adds no rupee figure. The rupee spread is roughly 30x, ₹833 to ₹25,000 a month, so treat these as bands, not targets. | |||
All prices are per month. Indian AMCs are published per year and divided by 12 here. A band is the typical published range for plans of that shape, not the lowest and highest price in the sample: each row prints its true minimum and maximum beside the band, and where two bands overlap, the tiers genuinely overlap in that market. UK and euro-zone prices are commonly quoted ex-VAT, Australian GST treatment is mixed, and the only Indian page here that states a tax treatment at all says "exclusive of all taxes". Local currency only: no USD equivalents, because no exchange rate here has been verified on a stated date.
Sample sizes are in each row, because they are the honest version of a confidence rating. The US, UK and euro-zone bands rest on 16, 13 and 18 pricing pages; Australia rests on 11; India rests on 10 pages that yield only 8 independent price sets, because template cloning means two of them reproduce another provider's prices exactly, and its published prices span roughly 30x. The euro-zone row covers 8 countries, but Ireland inside it rests on a single page: four more Irish providers blocked the fetch. One caveat applies to every row. The firms that publish prices skew toward productized maintenance specialists, because general agencies mostly route pricing to a contact form. These bands describe published care plans, not negotiated retainers.
Labor cost sets the floor
The hourly rate behind the plan runs far lower in India than Codeable's US agency range above: Indian entry plans in this sample start at roughly ₹833 a month, and a Mumbai agency publishes a care plan from ₹1,500. A monthly fee is mostly hours times rate plus software, so the floor moves with local wages.
Market maturity sets the vocabulary and the anchors
In the US and Australia, "website care plan" is an established productized category with heavy pricing transparency, so clients comparison-shop against visible competitors. German clients sign a Wartungsvertrag, and wp-wartungen.de sells exactly that from 9,90 € a month, with daily backups, uptime checks every 15 minutes and a monthly report already on that entry tier. Indian clients often expect an annual AMC quote rather than a monthly fee.
Tax conventions change the sticker
A published price is not comparable until you know which side of the tax line it sits on, and that is decided by the market rather than by the plan.
United Kingdom
Ex-VAT is the norm, said outright on 9 of 13 UK pages.
Euro zone
Ex-VAT is the norm, said outright on 10 of 18 euro-zone pages.
Australia
Genuinely split: 4 providers publish inc-GST prices, 4 publish ex-GST and 3 say nothing either way.
So "add 10%" is the wrong instruction about half the time in Australia. Compare like with like when you benchmark against a competitor's page, and say on your own page which way you quote, because two plans that look 10% apart may not be.
Billing rhythm, and how rare annual discounts are
Monthly is the default in every market here except India. Of the 67 providers in the Sources list, 14 publish an annual or prepaid discount at all, and none of them is Australian. Two months free, or 16.7%, is the most common form: five providers in four countries publish it, Feeling Peaky and Yellow Circle in the UK, wp-wartungen.de in Germany, mantpress in Spain and seowizard.ie in Ireland. The rest run from one month free at rhwebsiteshosting.be in Belgium up to 20% at giacomomazzoni.it in Italy, and the two deepest are published as a cheaper monthly price rather than as a rate.
The crowd sits at the entry price
One pattern repeats in all five markets in the table above: the entry price is where the crowd sits, and the tail above it is long. Counted as each provider's own cheapest plan, the list runs from $49 to $435, which is where SiteCare starts. Every bigger number in the US sample, the $997 top tier and the enterprise retainers alike, sits further up one of those ladders rather than at the start of one.

Standard tiers are published more often than hourly rates: 9 of the 15 providers in the US list print a tier between their entry plan and their top one, and those nine do not cluster.
Published US middle tiers
- Inspirable $79.99
- FixRunner $119
- Fix My Site $159
- WP Buffs $179
- FatLab $199
- Business Design Innovations $199
- WP Tangerine $297
- Tuesday $449
- Emily Journey $599
The tightest group is four of the nine, between $159 and $199. The other five run from $79.99 to $599.
One other reading of the same market disagrees with that. The Admin Bar's own review of 100+ agency websites, which excluded plans bundling in the cost of the website, SEO or other services, puts the bulk lower: rarely under $75, mostly $100-150, top end around $250. Nothing here settles whether that is price drift since their survey or a difference in who got sampled. Both are on this page rather than only the flattering one.
Website maintenance pricing calculator: put a number on your client list
The fastest way to sanity-check a price is to multiply it across your actual book of clients and see whether the monthly total funds the hours you will really spend. So the calculator asks for the hours as well, and prints what the work earns you an hour. Its rates are published prices, so if you quote privately you are free to sit above them.
If you are an agency with staff and coverage, price toward the top of the band. If you are one person in a crowded local market, the middle is more defensible than the bottom: the bottom is already occupied by productized update-only services you do not want to compete with on price.
JavaScript is off, so the settings below are fixed and these figures are a worked example.
Each rate is one point inside that region's band above: the middle of the published prices where the sources gave a clear one (the euro premium rate is €195 because three providers in three countries publish €195, €195 and €197), otherwise a round number in the lower half of the band, so the total errs low. India's published prices span roughly 30x, so treat its rates as indicative.
The site count moves the revenue, not the rate: an hourly figure is one site's price divided by one site's hours, so growing the book does not fix a rate that is too low. Compare it against the freelancer and agency hourly ranges near the top of this guide, and against what an hour of your own attention costs you. Those ranges are US figures and no exchange rate here has been verified, so in the other four markets only the second comparison holds.
What a website maintenance plan should include at each tier
Three flat recurring tiers are the dominant packaging model in the five markets sampled here: an entry plan, a "most popular" middle, and a premium anchor. Hourly billing survives mainly as an overage rate for out-of-plan work, but it is less standard than it looks: 11 of the 15 US providers here publish no hourly rate at all. The four that do run from $50/hour at Business Design Innovations to $150/hour at both FatLab and WebFX, with Raikowski pricing small requests at $125 for about an hour, and WebFX publishing $250/hour for urgent restore of a hacked site on a one-business-day turnaround. Publish your overage rate. It protects your scope and quietly makes the included hours in the middle tier look like the bargain they are.
The middle tier is where the economics live. Its hook is a small allowance of included changes, and the published mid tiers here run from half an hour a month to an hour. That time feels like a giveaway to the client, and it converts unpredictable ad-hoc requests into predictable recurring revenue for you. State the allowance on every tier, so the step between them is a quantity rather than an adjective.
Speed splits a tier as well, and it splits into two things a client hears as one. Watching the numbers is cheap: a score taken on a schedule tells the client whether the site got slower, and it costs you the checking. Making the site faster is somebody's afternoon, every time it is asked for. Fix My Site publishes that difference as a price, $99 for its maintenance plan against $239 for its performance one, so if speed is in your plan at all, be explicit about which of the two you are selling.
From the buyer-side guides:
- Do not compete with the $30-50 commodity plans. Codeable's guide says those run updates automatically with no staging and no human troubleshooting: software subscriptions with a maintenance label. If you sell human attention, price like it.
- Decide explicitly whether SEO and marketing work is in the premium tier or a separate retainer. In Australia one provider publishes A$2,400 to A$9,600 a month under a "care plans" heading for what is really a development partnership. Unscoped expectations are how a mid-tier plan turns unprofitable. The scope itself, line by line, is in what to include in a website care plan.
These are anchor prices for a US care plan, taken from the 16 US pricing pages in the Sources list, published by 15 providers, and they sit inside the wider band in the regional table above. The lines under each price are what the client is buying at that price, in the client's words rather than the task list.
They are not a list of SiteLetter features: backups, updates and malware work come from you or your host. SiteLetter monitors and reports, it does not update or fix anything.
- The site is watched, and somebody knows before the client does when it goes down or the certificate lapses.
- Updates and backups happen on a schedule rather than when somebody remembers.
- Automatic scanning for known malware and out-of-date software runs in the background, and at this price nothing promises a person reads the result.
- One short message a month saying the site is fine.
- No included time: anything that needs a person is quoted on its own.
Everything in Basic, plus:
- A person looks at the site after an update, so a broken layout is found by you and not by the client.
- A small allowance of included changes: 30 min a month at Technology Matters' mid tier, 1 hour at FatLab's $199 one.
- Somebody reads what the scanning found, so malware and known vulnerabilities get dealt with rather than logged: Raikowski publishes monthly security checks at its $149 tier.
- A report in your own branding each month, showing what was checked and what it found.
- Backups daily instead of weekly, and somebody who can put one back.
Everything in Standard, plus:
- A response time you can put in the agreement. This is what the tier is actually made of.
- A real block of included hours: published plans run from 2 hours at Technology Matters' top Australian tier to 15 hours in RankON's Platinum AMC in India.
- Somebody who knows the site well enough to be asked what to do with it next.
- A quarterly review of the whole site, booked in advance and written down, so the client hears where the site is going and not only what broke.
- The harder site types carried rather than argued about: a store, a staging copy, a checkout that has to keep working.
How to present the price so it sticks
A maintenance plan has a strange sales problem: when you do the job well, the client sees nothing. No downtime, no hacks, no broken checkout. Given long enough, invisible success is easy to read as "what am I paying for?", and the line item is the one that gets questioned.
A monthly report is the answer, and it does not have to be a premium extra: the cheapest plan in the whole euro-zone sample, the German one above, carries a report on its entry tier. However you produce it, it is the one place the month's work is written down where the client can see it, with what you fixed alongside it in your own words, and it is the justification you will need the next time you raise the price.
Raising prices and the mistakes that keep rates low
The common mistakes are all versions of the same thing: underpricing invisible work.
- Anchoring on the commodity floor. If your entry plan is $35, every conversation about the $150 tier starts from $35. Productized services have already claimed that floor, and the German Wartungsvertrag above shows what they put on it at that price. Let them keep that floor.
- Unlimited small changes. "Unlimited" scopes always grow. State your included time, and state your overage rate alongside it.
- Grandfathering forever. A plan priced years ago and never touched is a discount that compounds annually as your costs rise.
Raising prices on an existing book works best in this order: new clients first at the new rate, then existing clients at renewal with notice and, ideally, something added. A report upgrade, a faster response promise, an extra included hour. A price increase attached to a visible improvement reads as an upgrade. The same increase attached to nothing reads as rent-seeking.
Frequently asked questions
Across 15 US providers publishing a price in August 2026, standard care plans sit at $150-250 per month, basic plans at $50-100 and premium at $300-900. Each of those is the typical range rather than the full spread. A band is not a price, so the question that decides your number is which end of it you are at. A plan that is software running on a schedule belongs at the bottom; a plan where a person looks at what the software found, and answers inside a promised time, belongs at the top, and the gap between those two is most of the money. Publish a number inside the band rather than under it, because a price set below the visible floor has nowhere left to go when the work grows. Rates differ substantially by region: the regional table in this guide has UK, euro-zone, Australian and Indian bands in local currency.
Flat recurring tiers are the dominant model in all five markets sampled for this guide, quoted monthly in the US, UK, euro zone and Australia, and annually under India's AMC convention. The harder question is what to do when a client asks to be billed hourly, and the answer is that hourly prices your availability at nothing: the client pays only once something has gone wrong, and the work that stops things going wrong never appears on an invoice. A flat fee for a defined scope, a small bucket of included time inside it, and a published rate for anything past the bucket gives both sides a number they can plan around, and shows the client what an unscoped request costs before they make one.
Monitoring that tells somebody when the site is down or the certificate is about to lapse, updates and backups running on a schedule rather than when someone remembers, and one short message a month saying the site is fine. In the US sample behind this guide that tier sells for $50-100 per month. What defines it is what it leaves out: no included time for a person to look at what the monitoring found or to make a change. That is the standard-tier upgrade, and until it is on the table, entry plans have nothing to compete on but price. Decide separately whether you host. Raikowski publishes managed hosting, SSL, weekly backups, uptime monitoring and security patches as one $49 line, so a hosted plan and an unhosted one at the same price are not the same product, and the hosted one has your server bill inside it.
Enough that a small request does not start a negotiation, and little enough that it cannot be spent on a redesign. The two mid tiers named in this guide are 30 min a month at Technology Matters and 1 hour at FatLab's $199 Professional plan. Three decisions around the allowance matter more than its size. Say whether unused time rolls over, the way Technology Matters says outright that it does not. Publish what an hour beyond the bucket costs, or the bucket has no edge. And keep a record of what you actually spend for the first few months, because the allowance you chose was a guess and the sites you maintain are the only thing that can correct it.
It depends on the market. In India, annual AMC quoting is the default convention, and 7 of the 10 Indian pages checked quote per year. Everywhere else it is rare: 14 of the 67 providers in this sample publish a prepay discount at all, and none of them is Australian. Before offering one, decide what it is buying you. A year of cash up front is worth real money against a client who might leave in the spring, and worth nothing against one who was never going to leave at all. Keep it small either way, because maintenance margin is made of hours and a deep discount comes straight out of yours.
When your delivery cost has risen, when the plan now includes more than it did at signup, or when you sit at the bottom of your region's published range without a reason to be. The case that stalls is the client who has been on the same plan for years: raise that one in a single step rather than a run of small ones, and open with what the plan does now that it did not do when they signed. If you cannot name anything, add something before you send the letter, because a rise with nothing attached to it is the one a client remembers.
Sources
The guide ends above. What follows is the evidence under it, one list per market: 67 providers in five markets, read August 2026. Each entry links the page its price came off and quotes the string as it appeared, so a re-check is two minutes rather than a re-research. Anything behind "how this price was read" is an annotation added here, not the page's words. Three entries are not a provider rate card at all: Codeable's marketplace pricing, Codeable's 2026 pricing guide and The Admin Bar's survey of 100+ sites. Those three are named in the sentence they support and counted in no band. Cost-guide articles are not used as pricing evidence, so where a provider published one, the entry links their real pricing page instead. Prices move: treat anything here as needing a re-read after three months.
United States: 16 pricing pages from 15 providers, plus 3 secondary sources, read August 2026
- Bungalow Web Design - website care plans Core Care Package: $49/month
- Raikowski Software Studio - pricing Essentials ($49/mo) is pure infrastructure: managed hosting, SSL, weekly backups, uptime monitoring, and security patches, with 72-hour email support. The Maintenance Plan ($149/mo) is everything in Essentials plus real human care: monthly uptime and security checks, faster support (48-hour, 24-hour urgent), a quarterly micro-update, and a month-11 planning call; Essentials Hosting $49 / month; Maintenance Plan $149 / month; Change Request - Small is $125 (~1hr) and Standard is $325 (~3hrs)
How this price was read
two recurring plans, and the $49 Essentials is a rendered price card on the Hosting and Maintenance tab with its own checkout button, not only the FAQ answer the first two sentences here come from. The page opens on its Launch Kits tab, which is how a first read sees $149 and misses $49 entirely. The vendor labels Essentials JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE and sets it against the real human care one tier up, so discount it accordingly. The change requests are priced per request rather than per month, and the page separates Change Request from Small with an em dash, written as a hyphen here
- Inspirable - WordPress care plans Inspirable offers three WordPress care plan tiers: Starter at $49.99 per month, Essential at $79.99 per month, and Professional at $159.99 per month; SALE; $59.99/mo; $89.99/mo; Annual Save 15%
How this price was read
every card is badged SALE with its list price struck through, so $59.99 and $89.99 are the list prices behind the $49.99 Starter and the $79.99 Essential; the plan bundles managed hosting
- FixRunner - plans $79/month Premium; $119/month Rocket; $199/month Advance; Yearly $59/month; Minimum 3 months
How this price was read
the Small Websites tab. Every card prints /month in all three billing states and the page loads with Quarterly preselected, so a first read returns quarterly prices under a monthly label; these are the monthly ones, and the last figure is the same Premium plan on the Yearly toggle, which is why FixRunner is counted among the annual discounts in the guide. The price sits above the tier name in the markup, hence the order here
- WP Buffs - plans Maintain For Standard Site Maintenance $ 89 00 USD / Month; Protect For Sites Needing Edits and Security $ 179 00 USD / Month; Perform For Advanced Functionality Sites $ 239 00 USD / Month; Custom For Custom Coded Sites $ 359 00 USD / Month
How this price was read
four tiers, not the two this entry used to stop at. The cents are a superscript and the page prints no decimal point anywhere, which is why each price reads as two numbers here; Perform is the raised card badged MOST POPULAR
- FatLab Web Support - pricing Starter ($99/mo) includes no dev hours, Professional ($199/mo) includes 1 hour/month, Business ($349/mo) includes 3 hours/month, and Enterprise ($599/mo) includes 8 hours/month; $150/hour, billed in 15-minute increments
- Fix My Site - plans Maintenance Plan $99 per month; Security Plan $159 per month; Performance Plan $239 per month
How this price was read
the site geo-redirects: from outside the US it serves /ie/plans/ in euros, so switch it back to USD before deciding this quote is stale
- Business Design Innovations - web care packages Essential Care Plan: $99/month; Growth Care Plan $199 /month; Premium Growth Plan $399 /month; Additional updates billed at $50/hour
- Studio Barn Creative - Manage It All care plan $125.00 / month
- WP Tangerine - plans BASIC PLAN; PRO PLAN; VIP PLAN; BASIC PLAN $197 Monthly; BASIC PLAN $297 Monthly; BASIC PLAN $997 Monthly; SAVE 15% WITH AN ANNUAL PLAN
How this price was read
the page stacks two heading rows above each price. The upper row names the tiers correctly, PRO PLAN over $297 and VIP PLAN over $997, but the lower row repeats BASIC PLAN above all three prices, so BASIC PLAN sits directly on top of every price including $997, and the tier names here are read from the upper row. The page also links twice to starter and maintenance plans, on a password-protected page, so $197 is the cheapest WP Tangerine price published anywhere
- Tuesday - pricing Starter $199/mo; Most popular Growth $449/mo; Premium $899/mo
How this price was read
three tiers and no billing toggle, so these are the only prices the page publishes. The names and the badge are uppercased in CSS, so the page reads STARTER, MOST POPULAR, GROWTH and PREMIUM, and the dollar sign, the digits and the /mo suffix are three separate elements, which is why a scrape returns them space-separated
- Authentic Web Solutions - website maintenance packages Protect Web Care Plan: $249 per month; We offer monthly and annual payment options for our web care plan
How this price was read
an annual option, with no discount published against it, so it is not one of the 14 counted in the guide
- Emily Journey & Associates - website care plans Our plans start at $299 per month for Basic, $599 for Premium, and $900 for Custom.
How this price was read
one contiguous sentence, replacing a version that reordered it and stopped at Premium. The plans page badges Premium MOST POPULAR and Custom as starting at $900, so $599 is the middle of three rather than the top
- WebFX - website maintenance pricing Monthly Investment $350; Additional cost: $150/hour; Urgent Support/Restore if Website is Hacked, If 1 business day turnaround is requested $250/hour
- WebFX - website maintenance services WordPress Security: $350 - $550 per month; Proactive Maintenance $2,650-4,500
How this price was read
the same provider as the entry above: two WebFX pages publishing two different price sets, which is why 16 pricing pages come from 15 providers
- SiteCare - pricing Gold: $435 /month or $4,680 /year; Diamond $2,190 /month; Choose annual billing and get 2 months free
How this price was read
the banner says two months free, but the printed monthly and annual pair works out at 10.3% off, so the printed pair is what the guide counts
- Codeable - pricing (marketplace rate card, not an agency care plan) $80-$120 USD hourly rate; 17.5% Fixed Fee
- Codeable - WordPress maintenance pricing for 2026 Freelancers typically charge $50-$150/hour, while agencies often bill $100-$250/hour; Plans in the $30-$50/month range do exist elsewhere. They typically run automated updates with no staging environment, store backups weekly (often on the same server as the site), provide basic scanning with no human troubleshooting, and include zero development time.
How this price was read
the page prints all three of those ranges with an en dash; they are hyphens here
- The Admin Bar - what is a website care plan and what's included? Looking at 100+ sites, it was rare to see anything under $75, with the majority being between $100 - $150, and the top end around $250 (excluding those that were bundling in the cost of the website, SEO, or other services)

How this price was read
re-read September 2026. The backup, uptime and report rows are printed in the STARTER WARTUNG column, and the 15-minute interval and the monthly report are the text behind two of them. In August that tier checked every 5 minutes; the 5-minute check is now on BASIC WARTUNG, one tier up. The price card prints the 9 and the ,90 as separate elements

How this price was read
the +20% is a surcharge for not committing, not a prepay discount, so it is not one of the 14 counted in the guide
- antum.nl - website onderhoud (Netherlands) Support Small €69 per maand; Support Medium €119 per maand; Support Op Maat Prijs op aanvraag
How this price was read
no tax treatment is printed on the plans themselves. Elsewhere the page says a standard CMS site usually costs "rond de €69,- (excl. btw) per maand", which is a claim about the market rather than a label on this plan, so antum is not one of the 10 euro-zone pages counted as stating ex-VAT

How this price was read
bundles SEO and content, so it is a blended retainer rather than a care plan
- rhwebsiteshosting.be - WordPress onderhoud (Belgium) € 20 maand/excl BTW; Platina €159; Bij jaarlijkse facturatie krijgt u elk jaar één maand gratis.
- an-wens-webdesign.be - onderhoudspakket WordPress (Belgium) 70 euro per maand; webshop 90 euro per maand
Australia: 11 pricing pages, read August 2026
- UpTime Web Hosting - WordPress maintenance plan was $79.00/month $39.50/month; prices include GST
How this price was read
the $39.50 is a discounted first month and renews at $79.00, so A$79 is the recurring price the guide counts

How this price was read
the included-time line sits in each plan column under its own price, so the 30 min belongs to Manage at $197 and the 2 hours to Master at $497, and both carry the rollover line. The page prints 30 min, not 30 minutes. Its footer reads Copyright 2022, so this rate card has not been re-priced in a while
- Web Champion - care plans $2,400/month; Technical Partner $4,800/month; Fractional CTO from $9,600/month
How this price was read
a development retainer sold under a care-plan heading, so it sits above the Australian band rather than inside it

- Red Pulse Software - website maintenance Basic Care ₹1,999/mo; Standard ₹4,999/mo; Premium ₹12,999/mo; ₹23,988/year
How this price was read
the page offers the same coverage billed annually at a discount, but ₹23,988 is exactly twelve times ₹1,999, so nothing is discounted and it is not one of the 14 counted in the guide
- Adinity - WordPress maintenance, Mumbai Startup Care Plan Starting from just Rs, 1,500/month (Yearly Billing)
