Description
WordPress isn’t free when you’re paying for 10+ premium plugins. Plugin Expense Tracker gives you a beautiful dashboard to see exactly what your site costs, when renewals hit, and where you can save money by switching to free alternatives. Stop the “renewal shock” — take control of your WordPress budget.
The average WordPress site running WooCommerce, a premium theme, SEO tools, security, backups, and forms spends $500–$2,000/year on plugin subscriptions — and most site owners have no idea until the renewal emails arrive. Plugin Expense Tracker puts you in control with a dedicated cost management dashboard built right into your WordPress admin.
This is the only WordPress plugin that combines expense tracking, renewal calendars, and free alternative suggestions in one place. Whether you’re a freelancer managing 5 client sites or an agency with 50, you’ll always know exactly what you’re spending and where you can cut costs.
