Flywheel Review

Flywheel United States

Flywheel was founded in 2012 by three agency veterans in Omaha Nebraska and was acquired by WP Engine in June 2019 in what was described as the largest acquisition in WordPress industry history, with Flywheel having raised approximately 14 million dollars prior to the deal
The September through October 2024 dispute between WP Engine and WordPress.org co-founder Matt Mullenweg blocked plugin and theme auto-updates for all Flywheel customers; a federal court restored access in December 2024 but the lawsuit with trial set for February 2027 remains active
Flywheel operates on Google Cloud Platform with 5 data center regions in the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia and uses Fastly as its CDN; no Singapore or Asia-Pacific origin server is available
Flywheel's Local development tool, originally an exclusive Flywheel product used by over 150,000 developers, was spun out post-acquisition and is now free to all WordPress developers regardless of hosting provider
Flywheel does not increase prices at renewal, one of very few managed WordPress providers to maintain flat pricing long-term, and offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on qualifying annual plans
