The Optimole Alternative for Your Whole Media Library

Infinite Uploads combines media offload, image optimization (Business plan), folders, CDN delivery, and Video Hosting for unlimited WordPress sites.

We checked Optimole's pricing page on October 26, 2026, in the US dollar view. Optimole bills by monthly visits, not by storage or bandwidth. Every paid plan includes unlimited images and sites, image offloading and storage, and its own CDN. The custom domain (CNAME) is what separates the tiers.

• Starter: $19.08/mo billed yearly or $22.90/mo billed monthly, for 48,000 visits a month. No custom domain (CNAME).
• Business: $39.08/mo billed yearly or $47/mo billed monthly, for 120,000 visits a month. Custom domain included.
• Flexible: $90.83/mo billed yearly or $109/mo billed monthly, for 300,000 visits a month, with higher tiers available. Custom domain included.

Now the honest part. Infinite Uploads Starter is $8.25/mo billed yearly ($99/yr, or $11/mo billed monthly) for 25 GB of storage and 50 GB of bandwidth, so it costs less than Optimole Starter. But Image Optimization is a Business plan feature for us, and Business starts at $24/mo billed yearly ($29/mo billed monthly) for 100 GB. That costs more than Optimole Starter. If image optimization is the whole job on a site with modest traffic, Optimole Starter is the cheaper way to get it.

If you want offload, CDN delivery and media folders, our Starter plan is the lower price. Optimole counts visits and we count GB. Pick the number your site actually grows on. You can see our plans on the pricing page.

As of October 26, 2026, Optimole's WordPress.org listing shows version 4.2.17, released October 19, 2026, with 200,000+ active installations and a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 640 ratings. That release fixed Image Storage and offload problems: settings staying disabled after a failed status check, WP-CLI rollback refusing transfers started from the dashboard, new uploads offloading during a rollback, and the offload limit warning sticking after usage dropped. The same listing marks complete image offloading as a Pro feature, so the free plugin optimizes images but does not move your library off your server.

What Optimole does well:

• Image optimization is the core of the product. WebP and AVIF delivery, lazy loading and adaptive image sizing are what it was built for.
• The free plan covers sites up to 2,000 visits a month, which costs nothing. We have no free plan.
• It doesn't bill by bandwidth, so a busy image-heavy site can cost less on a visit-based plan.
• It is actively maintained, with a bug-fix release as recent as October 19, 2026.

Where it falls short for some sites:

• Offloading is paid only.
• A custom domain (CNAME) isn't on Starter.
• Plans are sized by visits, so a traffic spike can push you up a tier.
• It focuses on images. Media library folders aren't on its feature list, and its video add-on is still a waitlist.
