At 50,000 visits a month the cheapest is Hosting.com WP Medium, $59.89 for the first year; at 250,000, Hosting.com WP Advanced, $131.89 for the first year. Rocket.net, which doesn't meter visits, starts at $300 for the first year (Starter). The cheapest shared plan for one site costs $12 for the first year (IONOS Plus).
Managed WordPress hosts sell plans by how many visits a month a site gets, and most charge the same when the plan renews. Each cell is the cheapest plan on that host for one site at that traffic, paid the cheapest way for a year, then over 3 years.
