- October 31, 2026
We researched Sucuri's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used Sucuri ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.
Who it’s best for
- WordPress and other CMS sites.
- Owners of hacked sites.
- Agencies managing many sites.
Who should skip it
- Probably not the best fit for a tiny hobby site.
How it works day to day
This part draws on Sucuri’s own product pages, help center and documentation, read October 31, 2026 (listed under Sources). We haven’t used Sucuri ourselves.
Pick a plan, point DNS to the firewall, and run the first scan.

What it costs

- Website security plans shown at $229, $339 and $549 a year (checked October 30, 2026).
- 30-day money-back guarantee on its platform plans.
What we like
- Unlimited malware cleanups.
- Firewall and CDN.
- 30-day guarantee.
- WPBeginner and IsItWP reviewed it.
What to watch for
- Trustpilot 1.6 from 173.
- Pricier than plugins.
- Response time depends on plan.
- Owned by GoDaddy.
The fine print
- Intro prices often renew higher; check the renewal price before you pay.
The main alternative: Wordfence
Wordfence is a WordPress plugin.
What it costs: Free; paid plans not checked
Pick Sucuri if you…
- want cleanup included.
- want a cloud firewall.
- run non-WordPress sites.
Pick Wordfence if you…
- want a cheap plugin.
- run WordPress only.
- want a free tier.
Our take
Sucuri pairs a cloud firewall with malware cleanup, but its Trustpilot score is very low; check response times on your plan.
