- Works for creatives and small businesses that invoice clients and sell a few things from the same site
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial
- Pricey if you sell a lot on Basic, since 2% of every store sale and 7% of paid memberships go to Squarespace
- Tight if more than 2 people edit the site, because Basic allows only 2 contributors
- Watch out: custom JavaScript, code injection, pop-ups and shipping labels all need Core at $29 or higher
- Watch out: the free domain covers the first year of an annual plan, then renews at Squarespace's standard rate
How we grade them
| 2.0GPASitejetFair | 2.6GPASquarespaceGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CWebsite Builder Starter is $11 a month billed yearly for 1 site, between the cheaper quarter ($7.42) and the middle ($12.80). | CBasic is $19 a month for one site on yearly billing ($25 monthly), and it's the plan a small business would buy, since the store comes with it. That's the ordinary middle of this category ($9 to $22). Core at $29 drops the 2% store fee. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day trial with Team features needs no card, after which the account drops to Solo, free until you publish. | CNo free plan. There's a 14-day trial with no card needed, and after that every site needs a paid plan. |
| Features | CA builder with AI writing, hosting and client tools, but the Starter plan has no project management or client portal and only 5 commerce products. | BTemplates, a drag-and-drop editor, a store on every plan, invoicing, memberships, forms, newsletters and SEO tools. That covers the job of a small business site. Custom code and pop-ups wait for Core. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and you build pages and set up client projects. | B4.6 from about 18,800 App Store ratings for its phone app. Templates do most of the design work, so you're mostly swapping in your own words and photos. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with XOVI listed and an API from Team. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Google Workspace, Mailchimp, Zapier, Stripe, PayPal and Printful, plus commerce APIs on Core and up. There's no desktop app, which keeps it off an A. |
| Best for | websites for agencies and their clients | template sites with a store on every plan |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
