WP STAGING is a WordPress plugin for backing up files and databases, creating staging sites, restoring websites, and migrating them between servers or domains. It suits WordPress site owners, developers, and agencies that need both backup coverage and a controlled environment for changes. The product supports full or partial backups, scheduled plans, multisite workflows, selective restoration, and staging-site deployment. It is available across web, Windows, macOS, and Linux through its web and desktop workflows.

The published plans range from a Free tier to annual, per-site options and one-time lifetime licenses. Free includes staging sites, full or partial backups, one daily backup, and restoration on the same site. Personal costs €89 per site per year and adds manual backups, Backup Browser, single-file extraction, and basic support. Business costs €139 per 3 sites per year and adds scheduled backups, push-to-live deployment, and remote storage providers. Developer costs €239 per 25 sites per year and adds Remote Sync, Connected Desktop workflows, WP Staging CLI, multisite support, and standalone restore. Agency costs €499 per 99 sites per year and adds priority support. Lifetime plans cost €699 for 1 active site or €1399 for 3 active sites, with all WP Staging Pro features, lifetime updates, and 3 years of premium support. Prices are in EUR and exclude VAT.

Its strongest distinction is the combination of backup and staging operations. WP STAGING can send backups to Google Drive, Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Microsoft OneDrive, Wasabi, pCloud, Dropbox, FTP, or SFTP. One-click restoration can target the same or another server, while standalone restore is designed for cases where WordPress is unavailable. Remote Sync, CLI extraction and restore automation, multisite backup and cloning, and local Docker-based WordPress environments extend the product beyond basic scheduled backups. Choose it when staging, deployment, and recovery flexibility matter together; choose a narrower backup tool if those workflows are unnecessary.
