Does Pathly replace WP Umbrella or ManageWP?

No. Pathly does not run updates or backups. It adds what these tools do not advertise: a journey replayed in a browser, with a screenshot of the step that breaks.

Do I need to install a plugin on the client's site?

No. Pathly visits the site like a regular visitor, from Europe. Nothing to install, nothing to update.

Can the client report carry my brand?

The monthly PDF report is available on every plan, with Pathly branding. It switches to the agency's brand on the Business plan.

What your tool already does

Updates, backups, security alerts, uptime, client report: that is the core of a WordPress maintenance plan. These tools do it well. Keep them.

The site responds, the quote form is broken

A plugin update breaks form submission. The page loads, monitoring stays green, and the client finds out from a lost lead. Flow fills in and submits the form in a real browser, several times a day. If it breaks, you get a screenshot of the step.

Alongside, not instead

Pathly checks from the outside: no plugin to install, and any public site, WordPress or not. The monthly PDF report shows the client what was checked and what broke.
