Plans and buying

What you pay for.

What does a plan include?

A paid plan includes every tool and every safety layer for one WordPress site, updates and e-mail support, and a number of AI connections: Solo 1 for $9 a month, Team 3 for $23 a month and Crew 10 for $59 a month, per site, in US dollars. Paid plans differ only in the number of connections. See the plans on the pricing page.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. The Free plan gives one site one read-only AI connection, with no end date: your AI app can read diagnostics, logs, content, orders and settings, but can’t change anything. When you want changes, upgrade in My account › Licenses; your key stays the same and the paid plan starts that day. One Free plan per customer. Get the Free plan

Why is the Free plan read-only?

So you see what your AI app finds on your site before it can change anything. When you want fixes made, upgrade with the same key.

Is the AI app included?

No. You use your own AI app and its plan, for example a Claude subscription, or a free local model. PowerWP AI is the plugin that connects it to your site.

How do I get the plugin?

Right after checkout, in My account: the plugin under Downloads, and the license key that activates it under Licenses.

How do I pay, and do I get an invoice?

By card at checkout, through Stripe (Apple Pay and Google Pay work too), in US dollars. Paid plans are then billed every month or once a year, as you choose, automatically, until you cancel. Any tax is shown before you pay. The seller is NOMESOFT LTD, a company registered in England and Wales, and your orders and invoice details are in My account › Orders.

Monthly or yearly?

Pay every month, or once a year for 20% less than 12 monthly payments: Solo $86.40, Team $220.80 and Crew $566.40 a year per site. Both renew automatically until you cancel and include the same tools, updates and support. Already paying monthly? Switch in My account › Licenses: your key stays the same, and the days you’ve paid for are kept.

What if I cancel?

Cancel any time in My account › Subscriptions. There is no contract: your plan stays active until the end of the month or year you’ve paid for, and then it doesn’t renew. When a paid plan ends, because you cancel or a payment fails and isn’t retried successfully, the site goes back to the Free plan: your AI app can still read the site, but it can’t change anything until you subscribe again. Your license key stays the same and nothing needs reinstalling.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes, from Free or a smaller plan. Upgrade in My account › Licenses, with nothing to reinstall, and your key stays the same. The new plan starts that day, with the bigger plan’s limits. Your site picks up the change within a day, or at once with Check now in PowerWP AI › License.

More than one site?

Each plan covers one site, and prices are per site. A staging copy on a public address counts as a site. A paid plan also covers one copy of your site on your own computer (localhost or a .test address) without using up the plan’s site; a second local copy counts as a site. Moving to a new site? Choose Deactivate on this site in PowerWP AI › License, then activate the key on the new one. Looking after many sites? Write to us.

Can I use PowerWP on client sites?

Yes. Each client site needs its own plan, and you can move a plan between sites. Give each person on the job their own connection, start every new site read-only, and use the change log to show the client what was done. Looking after many sites? Write to us.

Can I get a refund?

Try it free first: the Free plan runs on your own site with no end date. Because the plugin and your plan are delivered at once, paid plans aren’t refundable: a month or a year you’ve paid for isn’t refunded, but you can cancel any time to stop the next payment. If the same payment was taken twice, we pay back the extra charge. This doesn’t affect your rights under consumer law. See the refund policy.

Compared with others

Why PowerWP, not just any plugin.

How is PowerWP different from free MCP plugins?

Many plugins can connect an AI app to WordPress. PowerWP is built for the moment a change goes wrong on a live site. Changes are recorded with snapshots, so you can roll back one change, a WooCommerce batch, everything after a checkpoint or a whole work session. Risky changes are checked and reverted if they break the site, rescue mode keeps a way in when a plugin crashes WordPress, and backups go to your computer. Each connection gets its own permissions, expiry and IP allow-list. How to choose a WordPress MCP plugin

Why 85 tools when other plugins list hundreds?

Because each tool reaches further. One tool calls any REST route, including WooCommerce and your other plugins. One tool installs, updates, switches on and off and deletes plugins, and sets their automatic updates. Elementor pages are edited widget by widget. Every tool that writes goes through your permissions and the change record, and the risky ones through the health check. We add a tool when it can be made safe, not to grow a number. See every tool

Setup

Getting connected.

What do I need?

WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer, HTTPS, and an AI app that supports remote MCP servers. For a store, WooCommerce 7.0 or newer. All requirements

How long does setup take?

About five minutes. Install the plugin and activate your plan with its license key in PowerWP AI › License. Then add your site’s address as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in, or create a connection in PowerWP AI › Connections and paste the message it shows into your AI app. The quickstart has the steps, and each app has its own page.

Which AI apps work?

Claude (claude.ai, the Claude desktop app and the phone apps) and ChatGPT (on the web and in its apps) connect by signing in: add your site’s address as a connector, sign in to WordPress, choose what the app may do and click Allow. Claude Code (recommended for developers and power users), Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Gemini CLI, Kimi Code and LM Studio connect with one message or one click, using a connection key. Any other app that supports remote MCP servers can connect with your site’s address and a key.

Can Claude or ChatGPT connect without a key?

Yes, from PowerWP AI 1.6 for Claude and 1.6.2 for ChatGPT. Add your site’s address as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT, sign in to WordPress as an administrator, choose what the app may do and click Allow. Your site needs a public HTTPS address and pretty permalinks, and ChatGPT a plan that allows custom MCP servers. The connection follows the same permissions, plan limits and change log as any other, and ends the moment you revoke it. How sign-in works

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You ask in plain words; the AI app does the technical part and explains what it did. Ask for a plan first if you like.

Can I try changes on a copy first?

Yes, and we recommend it for big jobs. A copy on localhost or an address ending in .test, .local or .localhost needs a license key like any site. A paid plan covers one such copy without using up the plan’s site; a second one counts as a site. A staging copy on a public address, such as staging.your-store.com, counts as a site and needs its own plan. Staging and copies

Does it work with my theme and page builder?

It works at the WordPress level, so it doesn’t depend on your theme. Pages, posts and products are edited through WordPress, including pages built with the block editor. Elementor pages get their own tools: your AI app edits them widget by widget, with a dry run and a rollback. Pages from other builders, such as Divi, Bricks or WPBakery, are edited as content, which works best for texts; set a checkpoint before layout changes.

Connections

One app, one connection.

What is a connection?

One AI app with its own permissions and activity log. Claude or ChatGPT signed in to your site count as one connection each, on every device. An app that connects with a key, such as Claude Code or Cursor, counts once per computer. Only active connections count toward your plan: revoke one, or let it expire, and its place is free again.

Can I connect more than one app?

Yes, up to the number your plan includes per site. Give each app its own connection, and each computer too for apps that use a key, so you can stop each one on its own.

What can a connection do?

You choose one of four levels: Read-only diagnostics, Content manager, Developer or Full access, or you pick from 9 separate permissions. New to this? Start with Read-only diagnostics.

Can I give a freelancer temporary access?

Yes. Create a connection for their AI app with the Developer preset, an expiry (for example 30 days) and, if you like, an IP allow-list. Everything it does is in the activity log, and you can revoke it at any time.

I lost my connection key. What now?

A connection key is shown once, and PowerWP keeps only a fingerprint of it. Revoke the old connection under Connections, then create a new one for the app. Apps that signed in have no key to lose. Lost your license key? It’s in My account › Licenses.

How do I stop an AI app?

Revoke its connection under Connections: it loses access at once. To refuse every app, use the AI access switch at the top of PowerWP AI.

Memory and recipes

Tell it once. Reuse it.

What is the site memory?

Rules (“ask before changing prices”), facts about your business (brand voice, markets, delivery and refund terms) and notes your AI apps learned about the setup. They reach every AI app you connect, on any computer or phone. More about site memory

Can an AI app change the memory by itself?

Not unless you allow it. By default AI apps can only propose additions, changes and removals, and nothing takes effect until you approve it in PowerWP AI › Memory. You can let trusted connections save directly in Settings › Memory & recipes. Passwords, keys and card numbers are always refused.

What are recipes?

Ready-made, step-by-step procedures for jobs like a full diagnosis, safe plugin updates, an SEO check or a store check-up. PowerWP AI has 43 in five packs, and your AI app shows them as commands. See every recipe

Can I make my own recipe?

Yes. Adapt any recipe as your site’s own version, or ask your AI app to “save what we just did as a recipe”.

Safety and privacy

What protects your store.

Can it break my site?

Any change to a live site carries risk. PowerWP records changes so you can roll them back, checks risky ones and keeps a way in when WordPress crashes. Start read-only. See Safety.

Can I undo changes?

Most changes are recorded with a snapshot, so you can roll back one change, a WooCommerce batch of up to 100 items, everything after a checkpoint or a whole work session, for 30 days by default. A rollback can itself be rolled back. Some actions can’t be undone, such as sent e-mails, cleared caches, backups and restores; they’re marked in the log. What can’t be rolled back

What if WordPress crashes?

If a plugin or theme crashes the site, rescue mode starts AI requests without your other plugins and theme, so your AI app can still read the error and switch off the cause. It works for apps that connect with a key and for apps that signed in, such as Claude and ChatGPT. How rescue mode works

Where do backups go?

To your computer. PowerWP builds the backup on the server, you download it with checksums, and the server copy is then removed. You restore from the same screen.

Does PowerWP see my content or customers?

No. Your AI app talks to your site directly. The daily update and license check sends your site address and name, software versions and your license key, never content, orders, customers or AI activity. See the privacy policy.

What does my AI app’s provider see?

What your AI app reads goes to that app and its provider, as with anything you paste into it. PowerWP keeps it lean: order checks leave out names, street addresses and IP addresses and mask e-mail addresses unless you ask for the full address, and passwords, keys and other secrets stay masked unless the connection has the Secrets permission. Start read-only, and use an AI plan whose data terms you accept.

Ready to start?

Try PowerWP on your own site with the Free plan: one read-only AI connection, no end date, no payment.
