Comparison
ManageWP vs Burrow
ManageWP and Burrow both land on Depends.
Burrow
Depends
Confidence: Low
Low-confidence call: the only hard facts found are $39/month project pricing and a missing public security page, with zero independent reviews.
| Compare | ManageWP | Burrow |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Freelancers managing many client sites | WordPress/WooCommerce agencies |
| Who it's not for | Single-site owners . pure overkill | Buyers needing vendor security documentation |
| Privacy | Worker plugin has multiple public CVEs including stored XSS; phishing campaigns also target ManageWP credentials.⁹ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.16 |
| Support quality | Forum praise exists; churn threads too | No support reviews found |
| Public sentiment | Agencies and freelancers running dozens of sites praise ease of use and pricing; some report false vulnerability alerts or leave for WP Umbrella.⁵ | All public reviews found are for the same-named furniture company, not this software; the SaaS itself has zero G2 reviews. |
| Biggest gotcha | Worker plugin sits on every client site . missed updates expose all of them⁹ | Vendor security page returns not found; request security documentation before purchase16 |
