## Ways to pay less

- **Lifetime PRO license from $49** (Lifetime license): WP 301 Redirects PRO is sold as a one-time lifetime license: $49 for 1 site, $59 for 5 or $99 for 100, shown reduced from $79, $159 and $299. Source: https://wp301redirects.com/

## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- Small WordPress sites fixing broken links after moving content
- Site owners who want redirects without editing .htaccess
- Agencies that want one lifetime license for many client sites

## Worth knowing

- 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 301 Redirects sets up 301, 302 and 307 redirects in WordPress from a settings screen, with a log of recent 404s and CSV import and export, for free. The free log keeps only the last 50 errors, and wildcards, regex and typo fixing wait on PRO, which has no trial. It can't redirect old .html or .php files still sitting on the server either.

- **Value for money: A.** The free plugin covers exact redirects, a 404 log and CSV import and export. PRO is $49 once for 1 site, $59 for 5 or $99 for 100, each under a year of this category's $10.99 middle. Paying monthly is $9.99.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Free from WordPress.org with 301, 302 and 307 redirects to any page or URL, hit counts and CSV import and export. One site could live on that, but the 404 log keeps only the last 50 errors.
- **Features: C.** Redirects picked from a dropdown, query strings carried over, a 404 log, hit counts and CSV import and export; PRO adds wildcards, regex, typo fixing and a link scanner. It does redirects fully, but that's a smaller job.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Picking a destination from a dropdown is quick, but you still build each redirect yourself, and the site must use a permalink structure other than WordPress's default.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, inside WordPress, listed with Weglot, TranslatePress, GTranslate and Loco Translate. PRO adds an online dashboard for licenses, sites and logs. No standalone app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**You could make this.** What 301 Redirects - Redirect Manager does at its core is reports, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $119.88 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $19 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. 301 Redirects - Redirect Manager is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
