The app, UpdraftPlus that you recommended for backing up a Wordpresd site is not free. I tried it and wanted to send my backups to Microsoft OneDrive and it asks me for $15.
Just like Alex said, there are going to be a few extras, and upgrades. But the main bulk of the tools are free (mainly the auto backups I was referring to).
I get what you’re driving at though… Everything seems to be “freemium” these days! haha
Thanks for the comment,
@martiedread
It’s free, but some services you gotta pay for..
Thanks a lot Alex, I really appreciate the intro! 😛
If anyone has any questions or anything, just reply to this comment and I’ll try to help out as much as I can! @MartieDread
Hey A Deus, thanks a lot for the comment! 😛
In regards to your question. I already checked them all out using the free “P3 Profiler Plugin”, and none of them seem to be too bad all!
The updraft plugin isn’t SUPER fast, but nothing that will slow down your site! haha

Let’s Build WP – WordPress Tutorials thanks Martie. The question is wouldn’t those extra plugins slow down the website? Isn’t Softaculous already backing it up?
