Interesting idea, but what if I don’t want unlimited sites and unlimited team members, but maybe one or two sites for one person... $19 for teams is ok, but that for smaller sites is a bit expensive. And there are no other options I can see... would be interested in trying it, but would like to see more pricing options too...

I'm asking because this solution seems to require to keep a WordPress site online, so at that point I don't see the real benefit of duplicating it instead of optimizing it with an advanced cache system (which is basically a static version of the site)

You can actually deploy from localhost using the Sitesauce CLI[1] and avoid having a server in the first place.

Thanks for the reply, that would indeed be an interesting alternative to static website generators
