WordPress alternative: one platform instead of thirty plugins

WordPress runs 43% of the web and is free to start with. After that you build your site out of hosting, a theme, an SEO plugin, a forms plugin, a caching plugin and someone to hold it all together. Neuramerce delivers website, shop, stock, customer contact and marketing in one system — on one bill.

TL;DR — who is each one for?

ChooseWordPress

if you have a regular developer, your site is mostly content, and you want to stay in control of every plugin. Open source, endlessly adaptable and with the largest ecosystem in the world — provided someone does the maintenance.

Choose

if you want website, shop, stock, customer contact and marketing in one system, without a plugin stack and without updates that break each other. One vendor, one login, one bill.

The full comparison

WordPress compared on what the core does by itself — without third-party plugins. Almost everything listed below as “via plugin” is possible in WordPress; it's just another subscription, another update and another thing that can break.

You don't have to move all at once

Leave your WordPress site running. Neuramerce connects natively, so you can switch module by module — SEO, reviews or customer contact first, the site itself later.

What does your WordPress site really cost?

The software is free; the site is not. Put your own figures in the sliders — hosting, licences, maintenance — and you'll see what you're spending per year.

Why companies move off WordPress

The reasons we hear most often.

No more plugin stack

SEO, forms, caching, multilingual, reviews and mailing sit in the platform. No twenty licences to renew separately and update separately.

Updates that don't derail your site

Hosting, security and updates are our responsibility. There's no combination of plugin versions that wrecks your contact form on a Sunday evening.

Findability sits in the system

An SEO score per page, internal link suggestions, hreflang and llms.txt for AI bots. No plugin to configure first and maintain afterwards.

AI that actually knows your site

The chatbot answers with your own content, stock and order status, because it all lives in the same system — not in a scraped copy of your site.

One point of contact

No being passed between host, plugin maker and developer. One party responsible for the whole thing.

One bill instead of twelve

All those separate subscriptions added up come to more, at most companies, than the platform costs.

Switching in 4 steps

Your site stays up. We do the migration; you keep publishing.

Connect and run alongside

Free migration
Pages, blog posts, media, categories and forms come across. Your URL structure and SEO value are preserved with redirects.
Live, on one bill
You move to the new site, we cancel the separate subscriptions and your team gets training.

FAQ

Common questions about moving off WordPress.

01Is Neuramerce a good alternative to WordPress?

If you need more than just a website, yes. WordPress is strong when your site is mostly content and you have a regular developer. Neuramerce is meant for companies that also want to run selling, stock, customer contact, reviews and marketing — without stacking separate packages and plugins for it.

02What does WordPress actually cost?

The software is free. The cost sits in hosting, a theme, paid plugins for things like SEO, forms or multilingual content, and the maintenance somebody has to do. At most companies that adds up to a few hundred euros a month. Use the calculator on this page to work through your own situation.

03Can I bring my pages and blog posts with me?

Yes. Our WordPress import brings across pages, blog posts, media, categories and — if you have them — recipes and products. At no extra cost.

04Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch?

Not if the migration is done properly. We keep your URL structure wherever we can and set redirects for anything that changes, including your meta titles and descriptions. After that you can see per page in Neuramerce how you score on classic SEO and on findability in AI answers.

05What happens to my Yoast or RankMath settings?

Your meta titles, descriptions and canonicals come with you. What you do afterwards in Neuramerce is no longer a separate plugin: SEO scores, internal link suggestions and rich results sit in the same editor as your content.

06Do I have to move everything at once?

No. You can leave your WordPress site running and use Neuramerce only for SEO, reviews, customer contact or stock at first. You move the site when you're ready.

07Is Neuramerce open source like WordPress?

No. That's the main trade-off: you can't change the source code yourself. In return, hosting, updates, security and support are our responsibility and not yours or your developer's.
