works like it should with many individual options

Brilliant for showing clients what goes on behind the scenes
by kwebdesign·6 years ago

I’ve been using the client reports for about a year now and our clients finally see some value in the support fees we charge.

Oh and the support is great!

Love this – Works great
by jrundle13·7 years ago

Once I finished installation and setup and grab the subscription – I now email out monthly reports, just to show my clients how much work I do for them each week – which of course is much easier now that I use MainWP Dashboard with all my websites I manage.

Great Plugin
by voneff·8 years ago

It works just fine for me and helps me generate these MainWP reports which my clients really appreciate – and which help me bill my maintenance work. Clients usually don’t get that websites need updates – but when you can document the stuff you’re doing, they get the idea.

Doesn’t work
