# ManageWP Client Reports vs Pingvera: What Does the Client Actually Learn?

ManageWP can produce a detailed record of WordPress maintenance. Pingvera is built
 to answer a different question: **did the client's website continue working as a
 business?** Both can send a branded report. The important difference is the evidence
 inside it.

## The short answer

Choose **ManageWP** when you need a cloud dashboard for WordPress updates, backups,
 security checks, performance checks, Google Analytics, and client reports.

Choose **Pingvera** when you need external monitoring across a mixed client
 portfolio, including real form delivery, domain and SSL expiry, suspicious redirects,
 `noindex`, broken links, incidents, optional WordPress diagnostics, and server
 metrics.

The tools overlap in uptime and reporting. They do not replace each other everywhere else.

## What ManageWP reports

ManageWP's official client report documentation lists data from:

- backups;
- performance checks;
- uptime monitoring;
- security checks;
- updates;
- Google Analytics.

Reports can be generated manually or scheduled. The premium report supports white-label delivery,
 the agency's sending address, bulk generation, custom covers, section ordering, and
 localization.

This is a good fit when the care plan is primarily WordPress maintenance and the client wants
 proof of that maintenance.

## What Pingvera reports

Pingvera starts with checks that represent the public result:

- availability from multiple regions;
- response timing by request phase;
- form submission and delivery;
- domain and SSL expiry;
- suspicious redirects;
- accidental `noindex`;
- broken links and missing content;
- WordPress health when the connector is present;
- CPU, memory, disk, network, and containers when the server agent is present;
- incidents, detection, and resolution.

The report can then include custom work performed by the agency.

The goal is not to produce the longest audit trail. It is to tell the client whether the site
 worked, what failed, what the agency handled, and what needs attention.

## Side-by-side

## Where ManageWP wins

ManageWP wins when the team wants to perform work from the same dashboard that reports it:

- install updates;
- schedule backups;
- run security or performance checks;
- manage multiple WordPress sites;
- report those actions to the client.

Pingvera does not perform WordPress updates or store backups. If those are the central jobs, use
 a WordPress management platform.

## Where Pingvera wins

Pingvera wins when a green WordPress dashboard is not enough.

Examples:

- the contact form submits but no email arrives;
- a marketing page has been set to `noindex`;
- mobile visitors are redirected to a spam domain;
- the site is available in one region and unreachable in another;
- the domain expires next week;
- the server disk is nearly full;
- the client portfolio includes non-WordPress sites.

Those are service failures even when every plugin is current.

## The real pricing question

ManageWP's advanced client report is advertised at $1 per website per month, or $25 per month
 for up to 100 websites. Other functions such as uptime, backups, security, and white labeling
 may change the total depending on the setup.

Pingvera is free for 5 sites, $15 per month for 50, and $49 per month for 500.

Do not compare only the report add-on. Compare the full monitoring stack needed to produce the
 report you promise:

- website monitor;
- form checker;
- domain and SSL monitor;
- integrity checks;
- server monitor;
- status page;
- reporting.

## Frequently asked questions

**Is Pingvera a complete ManageWP replacement?**

No. Pingvera does not manage updates or backups. It can replace or consolidate monitoring,
 critical-path checks, status pages, and outcome-focused reporting.

**Is ManageWP free?**

ManageWP has a free core and manual reporting. Advanced reporting and other modules use
 add-on pricing.

**Which tool is better for non-WordPress sites?**

Pingvera's external checks are technology-independent. ManageWP is designed around
 WordPress.
