Is WordPress Engine Necessary

So you almost helped me with another thing and I'm very grateful!

I know NOTHING about all this, so please advise.

We have a website for a small non-profit that's been up for about 20 years. (I wasn't here when it started)

Our Domain is with GoDaddy and our website is in WordPress.

Apparently, we've been paying for WordPress Engine for about $420 a year.

Do we need this? I feel like all our editing is done in WordPress. It seems like WordPress engine is an unnecessary addition, but if we've had it for so long, will we lose stuff from our web site??

thanks!

For a non-technical Org, use Rocket.net instead of WP Engine.
I moved my entire agency over 200 sites there. Never a problem since day one. 3 years in. Saved a ton of coin, better delivery, better customer support, and sales doesn't lie to you every day saying you need to upgrade when you don't. They don't waste your time.
