The Value Stack: What Your Premium Plugins Would Cost at Retail

Overview #

Every premium plugin on your Xponent site is licensed by us and included in your plan. You never buy, renew, or track a single licence. This article shows what that stack would cost if you licensed every tool yourself at retail, so you can see the value your plan already covers. (Authoritative source: Hosting-Offering/Xponent-Target-Stack.md §4.)

What the Stack Would Cost at Retail #

Regular single-site annual prices in Rand, converted from each vendor’s official USD list price at R18/USD (verified August 2026). Where a vendor only sells site bundles, the cheapest tier is listed with its site count.

What That Means #

• ≈ R67,900/yr is the retail cost of the licences alone, before any hosting, management, or support.
• An X3 plan is R400/site/mo (R4,800/yr). The licences included on that plan are worth roughly 14× the plan price.
• The hosting, security, backups, updates, and a team that knows this exact stack come on top, at no extra cost.
• ShopLentor is excluded from the approved stack (2026-08-21). Its retail row is removed from the value table.

A Note on Prices #

Vendors run first-year promos (Fluent family 30% off, AffiliateWP and Wishlist Member 50% intro, WPDeveloper seasonal sales). This table uses regular renewal prices, because that is what the licences actually cost from year two. Promo prices would understate the value.

Rand figures are converted from each vendor’s USD list price at R18/USD (August 2026), so the Rand total will move with the exchange rate.
