A: Thank you for your question!

There are several differences compared to InstaWP, but the most significant one for most users is pricing: this AppSumo deal is approximately 80–90% cheaper than their “live site” offering. All sites you create through this deal can be connected to custom domains and used as fully functional, regular websites.

While this deal covers one year, we’re happy to extend the same favorable pricing if you choose to renew—indefinitely, and directly with us.

There are also other differences in the finer details, which often come down to specific needs and personal preferences. The best way to see if TasteWP is a good fit is to sign up at https://tastewp.com, spin up a few sites, and explore—it's completely free to try.

As part of this AppSumo deal, you’ll also get access to the premium version of our Backup Migration plugin (see https://backupbliss.com) for easy backups and migrations.

Regarding ZipWP, it appears to focus more on AI-powered site generation rather than permanent hosting, so it’s not quite in the same category.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to help!
