What it does
Agencies that manage many client websites often pay for a long list of plugin and theme subscriptions, each with its own renewal date. Keeping those costs in a spreadsheet takes time, and a missed renewal can mean an unexpected charge or a lapsed service. This extension moves that bookkeeping into the MainWP Dashboard you already use, so plugin and theme costs sit in one place next to the sites they belong to.
Cost details can be logged at the moment you install a plugin or theme, which cuts down on data entry later and lowers the chance of forgotten records. You can then set your own renewal notifications so upcoming payments show up ahead of time. It runs inside MainWP without extra plugins or API setup, and the settings for notifications and cost entry are kept simple, which makes it a practical fit for teams that want clearer budget visibility.
Best for
- Web agencies managing many client sites through MainWP
- Freelancers tracking plugin and theme subscription costs
