Widely used on this marketplace — not a like-for-like swap. AppRanks found no app sharing Expire Passwords's category, so this is not a replacement for it — it is a widely-used admin option shown for market context. Compare it against your own requirements rather than as a swap.

Not auditedAudit score
Pick if you're cost-sensitive
Adjacent tool, different job. Different use case from Expire Passwords. Listed because it is among the most-adopted admin apps on this marketplace, not because it covers the same job.

WHEN DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO SWITCH FROM EXPIRE PASSWORDS?
Four reasons people leave.
Decision triggers, not marketing. If two or more apply, your shortlist starts with the apps named below each card.
Pricing has outgrown your usage
If your usage of Expire Passwords has crossed a pricing-tier breakpoint, per-unit cost is usually where alternatives diverge most clearly. Some apps in the list above carry a free tier; others are paid from day one. Compare the published plans on each alternative's page against your current bill — the gap is the only number worth acting on, and it is specific to your usage.
Simply Show Hooks · Slim Maintenance ModeYou need a feature outside the focus
Each WordPress category has a feature spectrum. The "Similar feature set" badge above marks alternatives whose feature signature most overlaps with Expire Passwords. The "Category leader" badge marks apps that may approach the same category from a different feature angle — useful if you want to widen rather than narrow your toolset.
Slim Maintenance ModeSupport response has slowed you down
Support quality is the hardest thing to read from a listing, and it is the most common reason a switch gets made. Read the most RECENT reviews on each alternative's profile rather than the lifetime average — recency is what tells you how the app is supported today, and trailing review velocity is the freshest signal AppRanks tracks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Answers built from the data.

For most accounts under typical category usage, the answer depends on tier. Slim Maintenance Mode is in the unknown band (—), while Expire Passwords is unknown (—). At parity scale, the cheaper option can save 30–60% — but feature-for-feature swaps usually narrow the gap above the second tier.
