Together these 10 plugins run on more than 1,210,560 active WordPress sites. Ranked from both WordPress.org orderings for "multisite", its tag listing and its search results.

How to choose a Multisite Plugin for WordPress

1
Confirm multisite support explicitly
Most plugins work on a single site and behave strangely across a network. Being listed here is not the same as being tested.
2
Decide network-wide or per-site
A plugin activated network-wide applies everywhere and cannot be turned off by a site owner. That is either the point or a problem.
3
Cloning saves the most time
A template site copied for each new one is how networks stay consistent. It is also the operation most likely to go wrong.
4
Backups are a network problem
The database is shared and uploads are split per site. Check your backup tool understands that before you need a restore.

Multisite Plugin comparisons: side by side

The top four against each other on installs, ratings, reviews and updates. Each measure names its own leader; there is no overall winner.

How we rank Multisite Plugins

WordPress.org publishes two orderings for "multisite" and neither is reliable alone. The tag listing covers every tag the directory files these plugins under, "multisite" and "wordpress-multisite", and is sorted by active installs, which lets a large plugin carrying one of them loosely sit above the ones the category is about. Its search results are sorted by relevance and carry their own noise. So a plugin is placed here by where it sits across both lists: high in each one lifts it, high in only one does not. We fetch both every day at 03:00 UTC, keep every day's snapshot, and add nothing of our own. No plugin is inserted, removed or sponsored, and each entry shows its position in both lists on its own page. Full methodology.

Do normal plugins work on multisite?

Many do, and many were never tested on a network. The usual failures are settings stored globally when they should be per site, activation routines that only run on the first site, and admin pages that appear where they should not. Test on a staging network before activating anything across a live one.

Should I use multisite or separate WordPress installs?

Multisite when the sites share users, plugins and a maintenance routine, and one team runs them all. Separate installs when the sites are unrelated, when a client may need to take theirs away, or when different people need real independence. Multisite makes one thing much easier and several things much harder.
