AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
BackUpWordPress is a highly rated WordPress app with an established review history. It is listed in the Popular category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1,373 reviews show steady adoption but the app hasn't crossed the heavy-volume bar yet. Review accumulation at this stage tends to come from segment-specific use cases rather than universal adoption, so fit-to-stack matters more than category-leader brand recognition. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.7★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +1,373 reviews provide statistical reliability for the rating average
- +Published by Tom Willmot — established developer track record

How BackUpWordPress works
Show full descriptionShow less
BackupWordPress was created by our friends at Human Made but is now under new ownership. We’re committed to opensource and WordPress and will provide free support for the many BackupWordPress fans.
We’ll make occasional updates to the free software – please send us any patches you’d like to see released here: https://github.com/orgs/xibodevelopment/
However, we’ll no longer be selling or supporting the paid add-ons (e.g. for backups to Dropbox and Google Drive). It’s certainly a good idea to backup to cloud storage to protect against server-wide risks.
For this we recommend UpdraftPlus WordPress Backups which can do things for free BackupWordPress Premium could do on a paid basis. Click here for full comparison.
