Gate House pricing
Founding offer
Get in early. Keep the price.
One plan with everything in it. We’re opening Gate House to its first 1,000 sites at a price we’ll never raise on them, as long as they stay with us.
Your price stays put
Founding customers keep $19.95 a year for as long as their subscription stays active. Once the cohort closes, new customers pay the regular price.
A real cohort, not a countdown
The first 1,000 sites. Checkout closes automatically at the limit, and no fake timer resets for the next visitor.
No kill switch
If you ever cancel, Gate House keeps protecting your site. You just stop getting updates and support.

What your license covers
Core stays simple. Cloud will be separate.
Gate House Core is the plugin. Gate House Cloud will be an optional service for people who run many sites. It isn’t part of the founding license, and Core will never need it.

Why not just a CAPTCHA plugin?
A CAPTCHA is one lock. Gate House is the whole gatehouse.
| What you get | A CAPTCHA widget on its ownWidget | Gate HouseGate House |
|---|---|---|
| Human verification challenge | ||
| Rate limits on each form, running on your server | ||
| Observe mode before anything is blocked | ||
| Coverage report for your exact site | ||
| Attack mode for sudden bursts | ||
| Activity log with false-positive review | ||
| Checkout continuity during provider outages | ||
| Lockout recovery with no public bypass |
Straight talk: Gate House is an abuse control, not a fraud guarantee. A passed challenge doesn’t prove a payment is legitimate. Keep your payment processor’s fraud tools on; Gate House keeps the bots from reaching them.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Still unsure whether Gate House fits your site? Ask the people who build it at support@gatehousewp.com.
Will it break my checkout?
Not by surprise. Every form starts in Observe mode, and you turn on enforcement one form at a time after testing. If your provider has an outage, you decide whether checkout pauses or continues for up to an hour. We still recommend one real test checkout on staging before you enforce.
What if Gate House isn’t right for my site?
Then you get your money back. Email us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll refund it in full, no questions asked. The same goes for a renewal within 30 days of the charge. See the refund policy.
Do I need a Turnstile, reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha account?
Yes, you bring your own. Cloudflare Turnstile is free to use, and reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha have free tiers. Gate House shows you exactly where to get your keys and tests them before anything is enforced.
What happens if I cancel?
Gate House keeps protecting your site. It’s GPL software with no kill switch. You stop receiving updates and support, and you can come back any time.
What exactly is the founding price?
The first 1,000 sites pay $19.95 per site per year, and that renewal price stays locked for as long as the subscription is active. Once the cohort closes, new customers pay the regular price at that time. If a founding subscription is cancelled or lapses, buying again is at the current price.
I run several sites. How does licensing work?
Each production site needs its own license; they all appear in your account. Staging and local copies of a site don’t use up a license.
Will it slow my site down?
The provider’s script loads only on the forms you protect. When a protected form is submitted, verification is a single server-to-server call, and rate limits use small counters in your own database.
Does Gate House send my data anywhere?
Your activity log stays on your server. License activation and update checks send your license key, site address and version numbers to gatehousewp.com. Sharing anonymous setup status is strictly opt-in, off by default, and never includes visitor data.
Which versions are supported?
WordPress 7.1+ and PHP 8.1+; store protection needs WooCommerce 11.1.2+. Tested on WordPress 7.1.2 and WooCommerce 11.1.2 with both HPOS and legacy order storage, on PHP 8.1 and 8.3.
