## Who is Lite for?

Lite covers the essentials: installing WordPress, logging in without passwords, and keeping core/plugins/themes updated. For a single straightforward site that you update by hand, Lite is often enough — especially combined with Softaculous staging/backups and JetBackup restores, which cover some of the same ground.

## Who benefits from Deluxe?

* **Agencies and freelancers** managing several client sites — bulk updates and security hardening across all installations save real time.
* **Anyone making regular site changes** — clone/staging plus Copy Data gives you a safe test-then-deploy loop.
* **Update-cautious site owners** — Smart Updates test each update on a temporary clone and only apply it to production if nothing visibly breaks.
