Definition

TCO includes licensing, plugins, transaction fees, agency hours, and hosting over 3–5 years — not just launch cost.

Why it matters during migration

WooCommerce on owned hosting often beats SaaS TCO for mid-market stores above €300/month platform spend.

How To WP applies this

Our audits and delivery playbooks reference total cost of ownership (tco) when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for Strategy workstreams.
