Yes! Jetpack's core features are free for non-commercial sites. These include: site stats, a high-speed CDN for images, related posts, downtime monitoring, brute force attack protection, automated sharing to social networks, sidebar customization, SEO (search engine optimization) tools, and much more.

It depends on your site and what kind of protection, performance, and design you need. If you make money from your site, the answer is “yes.” For context, Jetpack's paid services include real-time backups, security scanning, spam filtering, video hosting, site monetization, search, priority support, and more. To learn more about the essential security and WordPress services we provide and see how we can improve your site, visit our plans page.

Since Jetpack and its services are provided and hosted by WordPress.com, a WordPress.com account is required for Jetpack to function.

A WordPress.com account is different from the account you use to log into your self-hosted WordPress. If you can log into WordPress.com, then you already have a WordPress.com account. If you can’t, you can easily create oneduring installation.

Once you’ve installed Jetpack, your stats will be available on your Jetpack dashboard and through the official WordPress mobile app.

There are opportunities for developers at all levels to contribute. Learn more about contributing to Jetpack or consider joining our beta program.
