Start Protected. Upgrade When You're Ready.

The free plan is not a trial. It is real security that works indefinitely. Pro adds the tools that save time when you manage multiple sites or need compliance reporting.

Common Questions

Is the free plan really free forever?

Yes. There is no time limit, no trial period, and no credit card required. 5 fully active modules, 5 monitor-only modules, and up to 3 sites work indefinitely on the free plan with the limits described above.

Can I upgrade later without losing my settings?

Yes. Activating a Pro license instantly unlocks premium features on top of your existing configuration. Nothing resets or changes — you keep everything you already set up.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Your account reverts to the free plan. All settings, data, and configurations are preserved. You lose access to extended history, premium signatures, cloud dashboard, and reporting until you renew.

Do I need to install separate plugins for each module?

No. VistoShield is one plugin with 14 built-in modules. Install it once and enable the modules you need from the dashboard. All modules share the same admin interface and connect to the cloud dashboard.
