@eamonn_o_c_o_c looks great. does it also handle seo optimization etc? that would be great to have.

@ranjit_bhinge We offer SEO insights for all the sites that are either hosted with us or connected and manage through our platform. There are lots of tools in the Wordpress ecosystem that are already covering on page SEO optimization already, so the user can use whatever he wants on his sites.

@geri_mate After 5 years of development it's hard to explain all our features in just a few words... because we have sooo many. One of them is that you can sell Wordpress sites (subscription based) under your own brand and domain using our Hub Builder Wordpress Plugin. Basically you can deploy a hub for free in our platform or setup it up on your own site. You can create beautiful blueprints (with theme and plugins preinstalled and everything ready to go) and your customers can pick one of your blueprints during the checkout and creates the site. The site is up and running in max 1 minute and the client can connect any custom domain to it. Think of it like Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, etc. Everything is white-labeled, obviously. :)

@kostyadoronin At Dollie we use the AI tied together with all your sites. You get different AI personas you can pick from, one specialized on a specific task. For example, if you manage 100 sites with Dollie (no matter if they are hosted on Dollie Cloud or somewhere else), you can easily extract data from them like how many sales you got it total, where is product X located and what's the stock info, how many users registered in the past day, etc.. You can query 1 site or all of them. You also get generic AI trained on specific stuff like SEO, Wordpress Development, Marketing, etc. Other features Dollie offer are : - Site Management (no matter your hosting provider) - This means 1 click login to any site of yours, plugins, themes, wp core updates (also in bulk for all your sites), backups, seo insights, uptime monitor, activity reports, security scans. - Site Deploys - you can deploy a new WP site on Dollie Cloud in less than 30 seconds. The sites are Dockerized and scalable. You can even bring your own servers if you'd like to. For Dollie hosted sites you get more power tools like SFTP, server logs, code editor, domain connect, database manager, WP CLI, etc. - Blueprints - You can create ready made sites with themes, plugins preinstalled, premade pages and deploy new sites from them. - Sell WP sites or blueprints under your own brand and domain - a White labeled solution you can implement in any Wordpress site of your own (or we can provide you one for free). We have a powerful WP plugin that allows you to manage everything from your WP install - Site deploys, blueprint deploys, subscriptions, etc. So you can easily become a SaaS or WaaS. Plus many more features already available, but those are the most important ones.

@geowrgetudor Thank you for the thorough and exhaustive answer. I understand that there are many features, and I need to delve into them.

@lrueger Hi Lukas. Short answer, no. You can build your website with any popular Wordpress Builder - there are lots of options. What you can do with Dollie is create blueprints and deploy new sites using them, so you won't have to build sites from scratch everytime. LE: Fogot to say that you can also sell those "ready made" sites to anyone via our Hub Builder Wordpress plugin, a plugin that turns your website into a WaaS or SaaS.

@geowrgetudor Thanks for the quick reply! I think you're on the right path there, because it's better to improve a concrete pain point than trying to be the new all-in-one-solution.

Thanks @tobi_etrnl :)

Hi @hansvangent I would say at the free and lowest plan levels dollie and ManageWP are quite similar - and it might come down to subjective taste in terms of which UX you prefer, or how we went about solving a particular feature. With the higher plans we see greater differentiation as they include the ability to quickly deploy new sites, temporary sites and blueprints, and also the ability to build your own WAAS Hub on a WordPress instance.

@eamonn_o_c_o_c one of the things I love with the pricing on ManageWP is just the option to turn on and turn off advanced features. I don’t see that with Dollie, although the interface looks a lot cleaner. What made you go the current way of pricing?

@hansvangent I appreciate your question. Yes, we did evaluate the pricing structures of various platforms, including ManageWP. In our assessment, ManageWP's pricing appeared somewhat convoluted and overly complex, a sentiment we discovered was shared by others in the community. Additionally, we examined WPUmbrella's pricing model, which struck us as more streamlined and user-friendly. Notably, there are very few services that opt for a per-feature pricing approach. We arrived at what we believe is a balanced approach. Users have the flexibility to make decisions on a per-site basis, rather than per individual feature, when opting for advanced features for specific sites.
