A GoWP alternative with the hosting included
GoWP sells AI edits and maintenance per site from $39, on the host you already pay for. TopSyde is $89 a site with the hosting, malware removal, weekly SEO and speed work and senior developers in the plan.

Why people switch
Where TopSyde is ahead
The host is in the price
Kinsta's Google C3D servers behind Cloudflare, included. GoWP connects to whatever host you pay for separately.
SEO and speed applied, not audited
Auto SEO and Auto Speed make the fixes weekly with rollback. GoWP runs a monthly AI visibility audit and lists no speed work.
Senior developers on call
Call, text or chat with the developers who run your site, with a site that's down answered in 15 minutes, 24/7. GoWP lists helpdesk support.
Frequently asked
TopSyde vs GoWP FAQ
Is TopSyde a good alternative to GoWP?
If you'd rather not run hosting separately, yes. TopSyde is $89 a site with hosting, malware removal, weekly Auto SEO and Auto Speed, 10 AI edits a month, eight built-in tools and $1,000+ a year of plugin licenses. GoWP Business is $99 a site plus hosting.
Does GoWP include hosting?
No. GoWP connects to your site on your current host through a plugin, so hosting is a separate bill. TopSyde includes hosting on Kinsta and Cloudflare in every plan.
How do TopSyde's AI edits compare with GoWP's?
Ours show a before-and-after preview, change nothing until you click Apply and can be undone for 30 days; 10 a site a month are included. The difference is what stands behind them: hosting, malware removal and senior developers, who take anything the AI can't do as a ticket. GoWP's Pro plan has no human edits at all.
How much does GoWP cost for ten sites?
$990 a month on Business, or $390 on Pro, plus hosting for all ten. Ten sites on TopSyde are $890 a month with hosting included.
Can I move from GoWP to TopSyde without downtime?
Yes. Migration is free: we copy the site to our hosting while the old one keeps running, test forms, logins and checkout, and switch DNS once the copy checks out. Plans are month to month with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can overlap the two services for a month and cancel the old one when you're satisfied.
Zero risk to switch
We move the site. You keep the 30 days.
Free migration, no contract, and every penny back if it isn't right in the first 30 days.
