Both plans include the whole Plot platform, so the difference is who builds and looks after the site: on Plot Core you build and run it yourself, and on Plot Managed a dedicated design specialist builds a bespoke site from your specifications and you have a named email contact all year.
Plot Core suits teams who want to run their own website.
Plot generates your site from your answers in the onboarding wizard, in under 30 minutes. Nobody at Plot builds it for you.
You style it yourself with the visual editor and over 40 layouts.
Monthly rolling, with no annual commitment. Cancel anytime.
Plot Managed suits teams who want a designer to build the site and a named contact afterwards. You get everything in Core, plus:
A dedicated design specialist who builds a bespoke site from your specifications. You provide the copy and imagery.
A design review and one round of feedback on a video call.
CRM, ticketing and tracking code set up and tested for you.
Ongoing design support, an annual site review, and a named email contact all year.
Billed monthly on a 12-month commitment.
What is the same on both? Every Plot feature, hosting, security and updates, the help centre and platform support, and a 7-day free trial on your first site. On both plans, your team adds its own events and content.
Can I switch later? Yes. You can upgrade from Core to Managed at any time. Unused paid Core time is credited to your first Managed payment, and the 12-month term starts when the upgrade payment succeeds. You can move from Managed to Core during an active trial, or schedule the move for the end of your Managed term.
Can I have some sites on Core and others on Managed? Yes. The plan is per site, not per account.
