WordPress
No more plugin stack
SEO, forms, caching, multilingual, reviews and mailing sit in the platform. No twenty licences to renew separately and update separately.
Comparison · updated October 2026
WordPress alternative: one platform instead of thirty plugins
WordPress runs over 40% of the web (W3Techs, October 2026) and is free to start with. After that you build your site with hosting, a theme, an SEO plugin, a forms plugin, a cache plugin, and someone to hold it all together. Neuramerce delivers website, webshop, inventory, customer contact, and marketing in one system, with one invoice.
Free migration from WordPress · no credit card needed
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.

Why companies move off WordPress
The reasons we hear most often.
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.

FAQ
Common questions about moving off 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.
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.
Yes. Our WordPress import brings across pages, blog posts, media, categories and, if you have them, recipes and products. At no extra cost.
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.
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.
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.
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.
