WP Stagecoach
WordPress Staging Sites Made Easy·wpstagecoach.com
WP Stagecoach is a WordPress plugin that creates a one-click staging (test) copy of a WordPress site and pushes approved changes back to the live site with one click. It uses a database-merge technique instead of a database overwrite, so live activity such as e-commerce orders, registrations, or content updates is not lost when changes are pushed live. Staging sites are hosted on WP Stagecoach's own remote servers, can be password-protected, and the plugin is designed to work with any WordPress host.

Pricing
The pricing page also displayed a second, apparently inconsistent set of annual figures for the same domain tiers ($149/year for 1 domain, $299/year for 5 domains, $549/year for 30 domains), alongside the $99/$199/$349 annual figures shown against the named Small/Medium/Large tiers. Both sets of numbers appear on the page; the named-tier figures ($99/$199/$349) were used as the primary plan prices here. All plans include a 5-day free trial with no billing until day 5.
Manual imports help available as a paid add-on ($55).
