AdminBolt vs Enhance
AdminBolt vs Enhance: a flat price per server vs a price per website, plus an AI that operates the panel.
Enhance is a modern panel built for clusters. It bills for each hosted website with a $10 monthly minimum. It runs on Ubuntu 24.04. Web, database, email, backup and DNS roles can sit on separate servers. Servers themselves are not billed. AdminBolt takes another route. You pay one flat price per server with unlimited accounts, on AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9. An AI assistant, an MCP server and WhatsApp operations run the panel itself.

Why operators switch from Enhance
The reasons that come up most often when operators compare AdminBolt with Enhance.
An AI that runs the panel
Enhance has no AI assistant that operates the panel. AdminBolt ships one, plus an MCP server so AI agents can run scoped actions and WhatsApp operations through the Agent Hub.
A bill that does not grow with every website
Enhance charges for each hosted website, so the bill follows your customer count. AdminBolt charges per server. Adding websites to a server never changes the price.
The Linux you already run
Enhance installs only on Ubuntu 24.04. AdminBolt runs on AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9, with CloudLinux for CPU, memory and IO limits per plan.
A way in from cPanel and DirectAdmin
bolt-migrate moves a whole cPanel or DirectAdmin server to AdminBolt. A dry run shows the result first. Enhance imports from cPanel and has a Plesk importer in beta, but none for DirectAdmin.
