301 Redirects - Redirect Manager vs Redirection (2026): which should you pick?

Pick 301 Redirects - Redirect Manager if

• Fits if you've moved or renamed pages and need the old links sent to the new ones
• Works for agencies wanting one PRO license for up to 100 client sites, paid once

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress or still uses the default permalink structure
• Tight if you stay free, as wildcard, folder and regex redirects, typo fixing and full logs need PRO
• Watch out: the free 404 log keeps only the last 50 errors unless a filter raises the limit
• Not for you if old .html or .php files still sit on the server, as it can't redirect them
• Watch out: PRO has a 7-day money-back guarantee but no free trial

Pick Redirection if

• Fits if you're moving a site or changing its URLs and need lots of redirects
• Works for anyone fixing 404 errors on a WordPress site without paying

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for your whole SEO setup, as titles, sitemaps and schema need another plugin
• Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as there's no standalone app
• Watch out: the current version needs WordPress 6.6 or later and PHP 7.4 or later

301 Redirects - Redirect Manager

• It runs only inside WordPress, and the site must use a permalink structure other than the default.
• Wildcard, folder and regex redirects, typo fixing and full logs need PRO; the free 404 log keeps only the last 50 errors.
• It cannot redirect old .html or .php files that still exist on the server; they must be deleted or handled in .htaccess.
• PRO has a 7-day money-back guarantee but no free trial.

Redirection

• It runs only inside WordPress; there is no standalone app.
• It manages redirects and 404s only; titles, sitemaps and schema need a separate SEO plugin.
• The current version supports WordPress 6.6 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.

301 Redirects - Redirect Manager

Redirect manager

Pick a post, page, custom post type or archive from a dropdown as the destination, or type any URL, and choose a 301, 302 or 307 redirect.

Query strings kept

Query strings on the old URL are carried over to the destination, so tracking and affiliate codes survive. Finer control over them is a PRO feature.

404 error log

Logs the time, URL and user agent of the last 50 404 errors, without visitor IPs, with a dashboard widget. A filter raises the limit.

Import, export and hit counts

Bulk import and export of redirect rules, and a simple count of how often each redirect is used.

Wildcards, regex and typo fixing

WP 301 Redirects PRO matches URLs with wildcards and regular expressions and redirects mistyped URLs to the page that was meant.

Link scanner and central dashboard

PRO checks outgoing links for broken or bad sites and manages licenses, sites and logs from one online dashboard.

Redirection

Redirect manager

Create redirects for any URL without editing Apache or Nginx, with regular expressions, query parameter matching and automatic redirects when permalinks change.

Conditional redirects

Redirect only for logged-in or logged-out users, a WordPress capability, browser, referrer, cookie, HTTP header, IP address, server or 404 pages.

404 tracking

Logs every 404 error on the site, groups them to show where to focus, and lets them be redirected in bulk.

Redirect logs

Records each redirect with visitor, browser and referrer details and a hit count, with search, filters, export and controls to limit IP collection.

Apache and Nginx output

Redirects can be saved to .htaccess so Apache handles them, or exported as Nginx rewrite rules.

Import, export and APIs

Imports from other redirect plugins and .htaccess, exports to CSV, JSON and Nginx, and can be run through the WordPress REST API, PHP hooks and WP-CLI.
