Short answer
A higher renewal is not automatically a reason to move. First compare the cost of staying with the cash cost, risk and labour of migration—and identify whether a different setup fixes a real capability gap.
When this decision matters
An introductory price is ending and the renewal looks materially higher.
Questions the setup must answer
- What do you pay today once email, domains, plugins and backups are included?
- Which services must run in parallel during migration?
- Who verifies forms, DNS, email and restore paths before cancellation?
- How many months would it take to recover the migration cost?
How AppReadyLab will test it
01
Build the current-cost baseline
02
List migration dependencies
03
Calculate the break-even period
Seven dimensions remain visible
A candidate can be inexpensive and still create a poor decision if recovery, ownership, access, or daily work is hidden. The final comparison keeps all seven dimensions available even when the user prioritises only two.
