What the other WordPress security plugins charge to clean a file
Every comparison here quotes the competitor's own pricing page and plugin description. Segurium ships one detection feed to every install and cleans 3 files every 30 days on the free plan. Uncapped costs $79 a year.
Install the free plugin from WordPress.org
No card, no trial clock. Uninstall takes one click if it is not for you.
Pick the one you are comparing
- Segurium against Wordfence Free users wait 30 days for new malware signatures. Here the same detection reaches every install on day one.
- Segurium against MalCare The cheapest MalCare plan that removes the malware is $299 a year. Segurium removes it on the free plan.
- Segurium against Sucuri Sucuri cleans the site for $229 a year, once someone on their team reaches your request. This is one click.
- Segurium against Solid Security Kadence Security now, and the paid tier arrives inside a $299 theme bundle. It has never scanned your files.
- Segurium against All-In-One Security Their own plugin tells you a standalone scanner cannot find malware reliably. Their answer costs $89 a year. Ours is free.
- Segurium against Jetpack Protect The free plan checks version numbers, not files. Malware scanning starts at $119.40 a year and the fix is to delete and restore a backup.
- Segurium against NinjaFirewall The best free firewall on this list, and it does not scan for malware at all. The scanner is a second plugin that quarantines rather than cleans.
- Segurium against Defender Free scanning stops at file integrity until you connect a WPMU DEV account, and every repair path overwrites from WordPress.org or deletes.
- Segurium against Patchstack They stop a vulnerability being exploited and we clean what already got in. Different jobs, and their free plan pairs with ours for nothing.
- Best WordPress security plugin Nine plugins, what each one actually does to an infected file, and which is the honest answer for a single site with no security budget.
- Free WordPress malware removal plugins Most free security plugins detect and stop. Here is which ones remove anything at no cost, and what removal means in each of them.
Each page also names what Segurium does not do, in full, and carries the date every price and install count on it was checked.
Already picked, and wondering what comes across?
Segurium reads the settings your current plugin left in the database and offers to bring them over. Coverage is not equal, so each guide says what its importer reads and what you set again by hand. The switching guides cover Wordfence, Solid Security and All-In-One Security, and explain why there is no Sucuri import.

Install it and run one scan. The free plan reads the same detection feed as the paid one, so you see every verdict a paid install would see.
