VistoShield
Free
Protect up to 1 WordPress site with 5 fully active security modules, dashboard access to 5 more, and the option to unlock 4 advanced modules anytime with Pro.
Free forever. Upgrade to Pro (from $89/yr) or Max (from $169/yr) when you need more sites, longer history, hourly scans, or white-label branding.
What's in the Free Plan
1 WordPress site — all 14 modules unlocked, no monitor-only or locked restrictions
✅ All 14 Security Modules — Unlocked on Free
Every module is fully accessible on the Free plan — no monitor-only restrictions, no premium locks. Free-tier limits affect depth of usage (3-day retention, manual scans, 143 bot signatures, community support) rather than module access. Upgrade to Pro or Max for hourly scans, 500+ signatures, extended retention, and priority support.
Firewall & WAF
7 WAF rule categories, 14-point hardening checklist, HTTP security headers. Block SQL injection, XSS, and file inclusion attacks at the application layer.
Login Guard
Brute-force protection with login attempt limiting, CAPTCHA integration, and IP lockout. Two-factor authentication support for admin accounts.
Live Traffic Monitor
Real-time HTTP request monitoring with bot vs human classification. User agent analysis, response code breakdown, and geographic origin data.
Security Scanner
Manual malware scanning with file integrity monitoring. Detect modified core files, suspicious code patterns, and known malware signatures.
Activity Log
Track user actions, plugin changes, login events, and content modifications. 3-day event history with filterable log viewer.

Free Plan Limits
What the free plan includes — and what Pro unlocks
1 WordPress Site (all 14 modules)
Free covers a single WordPress installation with every security module unlocked. When you need to protect more sites, upgrade to a Pro or Max tier: Solo (1 site), Starter (3 sites), Agency (10), Enterprise (25), or Unlimited. Pro starts at $89/yr, Max at $169/yr.
3-Day Dashboard Data
Event history, traffic logs, and scan results are retained for 3 days. Pro extends retention to 14 days. Max extends to 30 days for compliance needs.
Manual Scans Only
Security scans must be triggered manually. Pro adds scheduled scans with configurable frequency — hourly, daily, or weekly — so threats are caught automatically.
143 Bot Signatures (Weekly Updates)
The free signature database covers the most common bots. Pro includes 500+ premium signatures with daily updates for faster detection of emerging threats.
Community Support
Get help through the WordPress.org support forums and documentation. Pro includes priority email support with guaranteed 24-hour response from the development team.

Common Questions
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes. There is no time limit, no trial period, and no credit card required. All 14 security modules work on 1 site indefinitely on the free plan with the 3-day data retention and community-support limits described above.
Can I upgrade later without losing my settings?
Yes. Activating a Pro license instantly unlocks premium features on top of your existing configuration. Nothing resets or changes — you keep everything you already set up.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Your account reverts to the free plan. All settings, data, and configurations are preserved. You lose access to extended history, premium signatures, cloud dashboard, and reporting until you renew.
Do I need to install separate plugins for each module?
No. VistoShield is one plugin with 14 built-in modules. Install it once and enable the modules you need from the dashboard. All modules share the same admin interface and connect to the cloud dashboard.
