What is a freelance developer really costing you?
Slide the numbers to see how the right Shield plan compares to hiring someone by the hour every time something breaks.
Not Sure?
Which plan fits your site?
Most owners land on one of these three paths. You can always start small and upgrade later.
Something broke right now
You need one issue fixed quickly and do not want a monthly commitment. Pay per fix and keep the Vault for passwords.
Best fit: One-off Task
You want peace of mind
Your site matters but you do not break things every week. Backups, monitoring, and two fixes a month.
Best fit: Shield Light
Downtime costs you money
You need unlimited bug fixes, malware scans, daily backups, and faster response without counting requests.
Best fit: Shield Pro
Testimonials
Owners who switched and stayed
Real feedback from people who weighed up the cost of freelancers against a flat monthly plan.
"Our checkout died on Black Friday at 6am. BugShield had a developer on it within the hour and we were taking orders again before nine. Worth every penny of the Pro plan."
Emma Fletcher
Owner, Fletcher Home Goods
"I am not technical at all. Being able to just message the actual developer instead of raising a ticket and waiting days is the reason I have stayed for two years."
David Boateng
Founder, Boateng Coaching
"We manage eleven client sites and the multi-site workspace has replaced three tools. Passwords in the Vault, fixes on the board, and one invoice at the end of the month."
Nadia Morris
Director, Bright Pixel Digital
"My site went down on Mother's Day weekend, my busiest days of the year. Fixed within the hour. Lifesavers."
Priya Shah
Owner, Bloom & Stem Florist
"A theme update wiped out my whole photo gallery the night before a client viewing. BugShield restored it from a backup and fixed the clash by morning. I did not lose a single image."
Mark Whitfield
Photographer, Whitfield Studios
"Brilliant. Booking form broke on a Friday night, fixed by Saturday morning."
Sofia Marchetti
Owner, Trattoria Marchetti
