Pressable vs Kinsta: both entry plans say 20GB, and the 20GB is not the same thing — the gap is $100 a year
How to read this page: every number below was read from the vendor’s own public pricing page on the date shown, and the pages are re-checked daily. Currencies differ because that is what each vendor showed an EU visitor. Some links on this page are affiliate links — if you subscribe through one we earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Source: https://kinsta.com/plans/ · read 2026-08-27 (UTC) · Kinsta's plan table has three toggles and only one of them changes the prices. Single site / Multiple sites swaps between two entirely different plan families — single-site plans are named by bandwidth allowance, multi-site plans by how many WordPress installs they carry. The Monthly / Annual toggle changes nothing, because both figures are printed side by side on every row. Bandwidth / Visits changes nothing either. Annual billing is exactly ten months' cost on every plan, which matches the '2 months off' label on the page. Every figure below was read in a browser on the date shown above with each toggle state visited in turn.
What the record says
Pressable sells WordPress installs on a ladder of eight, from Signature 1 to Signature 8. Each step buys more installs, more monthly visits and more storage at once: Signature 1 is one install, up to 30K visits and 20GB of storage; Signature 3 is five installs, 75K visits and 35GB; Signature 8 is a hundred installs, 2M visits and 325GB. Every plan is the same platform underneath — the ladder is capacity, not features.
Kinsta sells two ladders side by side. The Single family is one WordPress install with a bandwidth allowance, from Single 20GB up to Single 500GB. The WP family is priced by how many installs you want, from WP 2 upwards. So the question 'what does the entry plan cost' has a different answer depending on which of Kinsta's two ladders you were pointed at.
This is where the two entry plans stop looking alike. Pressable Signature 1 says 20GB and means storage — the disk your site occupies — and meters your traffic separately, at up to 30K visits a month. Kinsta Single 20GB says 20GB and means bandwidth — the traffic itself. The same number on the same-looking card is two different resources, and a site that is small on disk but busy will hit one ceiling long before the other.
Pressable publishes what happens past the ceiling. Above a plan's included visits and storage it bills $1.20 per 1,000 visits and $1.00 per GB, read from its pricing page on the date beside the table. That is a real number, published, and it is the reason the visits figure on each tier is worth reading before the price is.
Both hosts give you a discount for paying yearly and both are honest about the size of it. Pressable's is exactly two months free — every annual total on its ladder is precisely ten times the monthly rate, which we checked tier by tier. Kinsta's discount is smaller and less uniform: Single 20GB is $35 monthly against $30 a month when billed yearly.
At five sites the two ladders can finally be set against each other cleanly, because both vendors price that explicitly. Pressable Signature 3 carries five installs at $600 a year. Kinsta WP 5 carries five at $1150. That is the widest honest comparison in this pair, and it is not close.
Beyond the price tag
What the price buys
Pressable sells one ladder of eight tiers, each step raising installs, monthly visits and storage together. Kinsta sells two families: Single, which is one install with a bandwidth allowance, and WP, which is priced by install count. A reader comparing 'entry plans' is comparing Pressable's Signature 1 against whichever Kinsta family they happened to land on.
What 20GB means
On Pressable's Signature 1 it is storage, with traffic metered separately at up to 30K visits a month. On Kinsta's Single 20GB it is bandwidth. Two identical-looking numbers describing different resources — the single most misleading coincidence in this comparison.
Entry price, both billing states
Pressable Signature 1: $25 a month month-to-month, $20.83 a month billed yearly, $250 for the year. Kinsta Single 20GB: $35 monthly, $30 a month billed yearly, $350 for the year.
The annual discount, checked
Pressable advertises two months free and its own arithmetic agrees: $250 is exactly ten times $25, and the same holds on all eight tiers. Kinsta's yearly rate saves less: $5 a month on the entry plan.
Five sites
Pressable Signature 3 is five installs at $600 a year. Kinsta WP 5 is five installs at $1150. The difference is $550 a year.
Overage
Pressable publishes it: $1.20 per 1,000 visits and $1.00 per GB above the plan's allowance. Our Kinsta record holds no published overage rate, so we do not state one — that is a gap in what we have read, not a claim that none exists.
Questions people actually search
Is Pressable cheaper than Kinsta?
At every tier we hold, yes. The entry plans are $250 against $350 a year, and at five sites it is $600 against $1150. The caveat is not the price, it is the meter: Pressable's plans are sized on visits and storage, Kinsta's Single plans on bandwidth, so the cheaper plan is not automatically the one that fits your site.
Both entry plans say 20GB. Is that the same 20GB?
No, and it is the most confusing thing about this pair. Pressable's 20GB is storage and its traffic ceiling is a separate figure — up to 30K visits a month. Kinsta's 20GB is bandwidth. A site with a large media library and modest traffic and a site with few files and heavy traffic will hit these two ceilings in opposite orders.
Does paying yearly actually save anything?
On Pressable, exactly two months: every annual total on the ladder is ten times the monthly rate, which we verified on all eight tiers rather than taking the badge's word for it. On Kinsta the saving is smaller — $5 a month at the entry tier.
What about Pressable's Premium plans?
They are contact-priced. The page publishes only a floor — 'plans starting at' — and a sales link, so there is no ladder to compare. Worth knowing: that floor is the same number as Signature 6's month-to-month rate, which is a coincidence and not a relationship between the two.
THE VERDICT, ONE MORE TIME
Our pick: Pressable — the entry plan is $250 a year against Kinsta's $350, and the gap widens rather than closes as you go up.
Pressable Signature 1 is $250 a year, or $25 a month if you pay monthly. Kinsta Single 20GB is $350 a year, or $35 monthly. That is $100 a year for a plan that carries one install either way. Where the two stop being comparable is what the plan is metered on, and that is the section below — a like-for-like on price is only like-for-like if the thing being bought is the same shape.
Every figure above was read from each vendor's own pricing page on the dates shown beside each table. Pressable's page was read on 2026-09-01; the first request was refused with an HTTP 429 and the second, twenty seconds later with a full browser header set, returned the complete page — both billing states included, because the page ships them in a data block rather than hiding the second behind its toggle. Kinsta's figures come from our daily record. Where a figure is absent here it is absent from our reading, and we say so rather than filling it in. The method →
