How Squarespace measures up

Affordability
Plans are billed monthly or annually. Advanced features cost more, and your time is the hidden cost.
Services included
Hosting, templates, SEO tools, scheduling and commerce are included at different plan levels. Design and content are your job.
Customer feedback
3.5 on Trustpilot from 6,278 reviews at our last check. Reviewers praise ease of use and criticize support access.
Contract flexibility
Subscription you can cancel. Annual plans are paid up front.
Ease of purchase
Sign up instantly online. Getting a finished site takes as long as you need to build it.
Ownership & portability
You own your content, but the site runs on Squarespace's platform and can't be exported to another host intact.
Turnaround & support
As fast as you build. Support is by email and weekday live chat according to Squarespace's replies to reviewers.

Pricing

Monthly and annual plans. Check the official site for current pricing.. We don't publish prices we can't confirm, and plan pricing changes often.

Our verdict

A good DIY choice if you enjoy design work. A poor fit if you want someone to build the site for you.

Best for: design-minded owners who want to build and edit the site themselves.
