Questions, answered the straightforward way.

No. We can either upgrade your current site or build a new one from scratch on Hostinger, Cloudways, Kinsta, or your hosting of choice. The Tools Hub and most of our SaaS features are accessible without any WordPress site at all — they live at wordpressistic.com.

Free tier tools are usable the moment you create an account — no credit card. Pro-tier tools unlock immediately after Stripe checkout. The Member Portal gives you live usage tracking, saved reports, and API keys.

WordPress (custom theme + custom plugins), PHP 8+, REST APIs, MySQL, Cloudflare, FluentSMTP for transactional email, Paid Memberships Pro + Stripe for billing, and OpenAI/Anthropic APIs for AI features. The frontend uses our own dark SaaS design system — no page-builders.

Yes. Our primary markets are the US and Europe, but the platform supports multilingual content via WPML or Polylang, and Cloudflare gives us global edge performance. Reach out via the strategy call form to discuss localization requirements.

Visit /strategy-call/ and fill in the form — name, email, website, industry, time zone, and what you want to solve. We reply within 1 business day with available slots. The call is free and runs 30 minutes.

Yes — every tier has a public preview at /portal-preview/ showing all 11 screens (Dashboard, Tools, Saved Reports, Usage, Subscription, Downloads, Support, Referrals, Settings, Seats, API Keys). The free tier unlocks the actual portal.

The Free tier is the trial — there is no time limit. It includes the full Tools Hub at quota-limited usage, the basic Member Portal, and access to all blog content. Upgrade only when daily quotas start hurting.

Yes, anytime. Upgrades are pro-rated through Stripe; downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Lifetime is upgrade-only — once you have it, no recurring billing ever.

All major credit and debit cards via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover). Stripe also handles Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA in supported regions. We do not store card details — Stripe Customer Portal manages everything.

30-day money-back guarantee on Starter, Pro, and Agency tiers — full refund, no questions asked, if you cancel within 30 days. Lifetime is non-refundable after 30 days because it is permanent. Email [email protected] to request.

No. The price you see on /pricing/ is what you pay. No setup fees, no annual contracts (unless you choose annual billing for the discount), no per-seat overages on the Agency tier within stated limits.

Agency adds: 5 team seats (invite via email), API access (5,000 free-tool calls + 500 AI calls per month), increased AI quota (500 gens/day), webhooks + n8n/Zapier integration, priority email support (12h), and quarterly strategy calls. Pro is for solo operators and small teams who don't need API or seats.

Anonymous users get 5 total searches lifetime across non-AI tools (cookie + IP tracked). Logged-in Free: 30 searches/day. Starter: unlimited non-AI + 100 AI generations/day. Pro: 250 AI gens/day. Agency: 500 AI gens/day. Lifetime: 10k API AI gens/month. Quotas reset at 00:00 UTC. Live usage is in /portal/usage/.

Yes — generate an API key in /portal/api-keys/ (Agency tier and above for full API quota: 5,000 free-tool calls + 500 AI calls per month). Then call the WordPressistic REST API at /wp-json/wpistic/v1/. Lifetime members get 50,000 free-tool calls + 10,000 AI calls per month. Webhooks ship Phase 2.

Yes. The Tools Hub is page-builder-agnostic — it operates on URLs and content, not on your site's rendering layer. Schema, meta tags, sitemaps, and audits work identically on Elementor, Bricks, Breakdance, classic, or block-based sites.

White-label is exclusive to the Lifetime tier — the Chatbotistic White-label Plan is bundled in. White-label client portals are part of Lifetime only.

Pro and Agency members can submit feature requests through the portal Support form. We review monthly and prioritize based on how many members request the same tool. Custom tools for one specific business are a separate consulting engagement — book a strategy call to discuss.

Yes. We honor all data-subject rights (access, deletion, portability, rectification, restriction). Email [email protected] to file a request — we respond within 30 days as required. The full breakdown is in /privacy/.

Never. We do not sell, rent, or barter any user data. Limited data is shared with strictly-necessary processors (Stripe for billing, Cloudflare for delivery, FluentSMTP relay for email) under DPAs that match GDPR Article 28 standards. List + audit log lives in /privacy/.

API keys are HMAC-SHA256-hashed at rest — we store the hash, never the plaintext. The plaintext key is shown ONCE during creation and never again. Stripe customer IDs are stored in PMPro's usermeta. Sessions use WP cookies with HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite=Lax. No bearer tokens stored in localStorage.

Yes — at any time. Visit /portal/settings/ → Danger Zone → "Delete account permanently". This wipes your user record, API keys, saved reports, usage history, and Stripe customer record (subscription must be cancelled first). Confirmation email gives you 7 days to undo.
