In March 2026, WPackagist was acquired by WP Engine, a private equity-backed hosting company. Infrastructure this central to the WordPress Composer workflow shouldn’t be controlled by a single corporation, so we built an alternative. It's 17x faster, fully open-source (including all infrastructure), and updates from the WP.org repo every 5 minutes.
