Easy WP Migration vs Duplicator
Both products handle serious migration and backup work. The better choice depends on whether you value installer packages or direct, resumable site workflows.
Duplicator is a mature migration and backup product with an empty-site installer, recovery points, cloud storage and multisite capabilities. Easy WP Migration takes a different route: no product-level archive size cap in the free workflow, resumable chunks, private direct-to-destination transfers and site-to-site Sync in Pro.
