Plugin Updates Vs. Plugin Upgrades (Replacement)

Plugin updates are updating your existing plugins to the latest version.  This is included in all our plans.  However, replacing a plugin with a new/better plugin is not “Support Time”  this requires installing and configuring new software and implementing it within the existing design of your website and testing the new functionality.  This is considered “Development Time” and is billable outside of your monthly plan.
