SiteGround has made real strides for agencies — a multi-site dashboard, team collaboration, automatic updates. What it doesn't have is care plan automation, white-label reports sent directly to clients, or the agency operations tools (project management, task tracking, docs, passwords) that let you run your agency from one place. Stack2 has all of it, and it's Australian-owned.

SiteGround has a multi-site dashboard and automatic plugin updates — but the care plan side is entirely manual. No white-label reports, no automated delivery to clients, no tooling for the monthly care plan workflow that agencies need to make retainers scalable.
Updates applied on schedule, a branded report generated, and emailed directly to the client — automatically. The care plan workflow that SiteGround leaves entirely to you.
SiteGround can auto-update plugins per site, but there's no white-label reporting, no branded delivery to clients, and no care plan tooling. Agencies billing care plan retainers on top of SiteGround still produce every report manually — every month, for every client.
Updates on schedule, branded report generated, emailed to the client. The monthly care plan deliverable without the monthly manual work. AutoCare is what makes care plan billing scalable.
SiteGround can auto-update plugins — but the care plan side is still entirely on you. AutoCare closes that gap: updates applied on schedule, a branded report generated, and emailed directly to your client — automatically. If you're billing monthly care plans and still producing them manually, AutoCare is the single change that makes that revenue genuinely passive.
