Plugins

WordPress plugins that do one job, lightly.

Replacements for the big plugins that grew heavy, filled the dashboard with upsells, or were sold to someone who raised the price. Free on WordPress.org, with Pro add-ons where a site needs more.

01The suite

  • 01

    Calendar2

    Replaces The Events Calendar

    Events, venues and organisers with month, list and day views, simple repeats and a plain editing screen. Imports a site's existing events from The Events Calendar. Pro adds public submissions with an approval queue, and calendar feeds by URL.

    Tickets2

    Replaces Event Tickets

    Free and paid tickets on Calendar² events, with check-in by QR code and refunds handled in one place. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account, with no commission taken on any ticket.

    • Free on WordPress.org

    Give2

    Replaces GiveWP

    Donation forms for charities and community groups, with Gift Aid declarations and HMRC claim exports included rather than sold as an add-on. No percentage taken from any donation.

    • Free on WordPress.org
  • 04

    Security2

    Replaces Wordfence, Solid Security

    Passkeys on the WordPress login, two-factor authentication, login limits, hardening switches, file integrity checks and alerts when something installed has a known vulnerability. No firewall in front of every request, so the site stays fast.

    • Free on WordPress.org
  • 05

    Links2

    Replaces Broken Link Checker

    Finds broken links on a schedule, in the background, without slowing the site down while it looks. A report and a bulk fix, and nothing else.

02Licensing

Plugin pricing has drifted towards commission on your sales, paid support tiers and renewals that rise every year. These are the rules we hold ourselves to instead.

  • You pay for the licence. Nothing else.

    No commission on your ticket sales or donations, no paid support tier, and no upsell banners in your dashboard. The price on this page is the price.

  • Every free plugin is complete

    The free version on WordPress.org does its job properly. Pro adds features some sites need; it does not unlock the ones every site needs.

  • Fast is a feature, so it is measured

    Each plugin is benchmarked against the one it replaces, on database queries, page weight and load time, and the method is published with the results so you can repeat it.

  • Buy one, or buy them all

    Each Pro plugin is sold on its own. Once there is more than one, an All-Access licence will cover the whole suite for less than two separate licences.
