Important: Different Billing Models
WP Engine — Visit-Based
Plans are priced by monthly visitor count. If traffic spikes past your plan limit, overage charges apply. Well-suited for sites with predictable, steady traffic.
Kinsta — Bandwidth-Based
Plans are priced by CDN bandwidth consumed (GB transferred). Works well for sites with many visitors but lightweight pages. Media-heavy sites should compare both models carefully.
