Squarespace sells templates, hosting and commerce in one subscription per site. It takes decisions off your hands, and the plan decides what you can change.

Overview

Squarespace offers four plans: Basic, Core, Plus and Advanced. The plan sets the price and what you can do, from the number of contributors to custom code and store fees.

Strengths

  • Polished templates and sections that look good out of the box.
  • Hosting, support and commerce from one company.
  • Built-in store and bookings.

Watch out for

  • Basic allows only 2 contributors and takes a 2% fee on store sales.
  • Custom JavaScript and code injection need Core or above.
  • Monthly billing costs up to 36% more than yearly.
  • Export covers blog posts and basic pages only; the design is not exported.
