Squarespace pricing: Which Plan Is Best for Your Site? (2025)

Think it’s easy to figure out? Squarespace pricing has 4 plans, each comes with a set of features that you may or may not require in your website.

Chọrọ weebụsaịtị nke yiri ihe ịtụnanya, mana ọ dịghị ewe ọmarịcha nka ọrụ gị iji mepụta ma jikwaa.

A website builder sounds like the right thing for you, and of them, Squarespace is looking pretty good.

But while Squarespace emphasizes itself as an all-in-one, easy solution, are things really that simple?

Ọ dị oke mma ịbụ eziokwu?

Don’t worry, friend. In this article, I’ll dive deep into it.

You’ll get to find out how simple the pricing is, where the hidden expenses may come from, and ultimately what Squarespace REALLY costs and what it means for you.

Squarespace Pricing Plans

Squarespace has four pricing plans, or tiers. They have names, but I’ll mostly refer to them in this article as their placement on the tier list (ie., “first tier”).

The best way to explain is to just show you how Squarespace presents them:

Mara na nke a abụghị ndepụta zuru oke nke njirimara-naanị ihe ndabere.

Part 1: How much does Squarespace cost?

One of the biggest selling points for most ndị na-ewu weebụsaịtị, including Squarespace, is that they provide most of what you need out of the box.

Mana nke ahụ ọ pụtara na ọnụahịa ị na-akwụ dịkwa mfe?

Na mkpokọta, ee.

Technically speaking, this is all that Squarespace costs alone, bare minimum:

• The cost of your chosen Squarespace package, monthly or yearly
• Ugboro ahia ahia nke 3% nke ahia, ma oburu n’onye “Business” / nke abuo
• Free domains through Squarespace are only free the first year, and only for annually-paid plans. You don’t HAVE to use one from Squarespace, but many do.
• Email (Gmail na G Suite) bụ afọ izizi maka ọkwa atọ kachasị elu, mana ịmegharị ya na ọnụahịa

Mana ikwu eziokwu, enwere mmefu ndị ọzọ ị nwere ike ime ka nke a nwekwuo ọnụ ọgụgụ gị.

These may come from third parties, and apply to site-builders in general, not just Squarespace specifically.

It varies greatly person-to-person, but the REAL cost of running your site on Squarespace may amount to something like this:

• The cost of your Squarespace plan
• Gwọ azụmahịa (ma ọ bụrụ na ị nọ n'ọkwa nke abụọ)
• Transaction fees for any other payment or credit card processors aside from Squarespace Commerce’s processor
• Domain name renewal IF registered through Squarespace (as noted above)
• OR the cost of a domain purchased from a registrar separately
• Ntugharị email maka ọkwa ọkwa dị mkpa, dị ka ekwuru, MA ịzụta afọ mbụ maka ọkwa mbụ
• Email marketing plans—Squarespace’s own extra feature for email marketing
• Mgbakwunye (makwaara dị ka njikọta, ngwa, ma ọ bụ plugins) sitere na ndị ọzọ

I’ll get more into these additional costs later, but the short version is that your Squarespace site may, at BEST, only cost your payment plan’s figures.

Ma yikarịrị, ọ ga-eweta ụgwọ ndị ọzọ mgbe afọ mbụ gasịrị, ị ga-etinyekwu ego na ngwaọrụ ndị ọzọ iji bulie ahụmịhe gị.

Ka anyị were nzọụkwụ a:

Part 3: Additional Squarespace costs

I briefly listed some of these in the section on how much Squarespace costs, but let’s talk about them in a little bit more detail.

I’ve said it before, but if you use G Suite through Squarespace (“professional email”), it costs extra.

Na nkenke: ọ bụrụ na ị nọ na ọkwa ọnụahịa ntinye ego, ị ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya ozugbo bat.

Ọ bụrụ n ’atụmatụ ọ bụla dị elu ị ga-enweta ego, ị na-enweta G Suite n'efu otu afọ, mana kwụọ ụgwọ ya ma emechaa.

Yabụ na nke ahụ bụ ego efu na-egosi na ọ bụ n'efu ma ọ bụghị.

M kwuru banyere njirimara azụmaahịa email ha na mbụ.

The email marketing feature is useful, especially if you like that Squarespace is an all-in-one solution.

Mana o doro anya na O nwebeghị n'efu. Ọ nwere atụmatụ ịnye ọnụahịa nke ya:

Yabụ na ọnụ ahịa ndị ahụ bụ ihe ị ga-akwụ maka ahia n'ime email e wuru (kwa afọ - enwere ọnụ ahịa kwa ọnwa).

However, you can still use a third party email marketing software integrated with Squarespace.

Ga-elele mgbakwunye ndọtị ndị dịnụ, mana opekata mpe Mailchimp dị ka njikọta ego kachasị.

Na ndetu ahụ, ị ​​ga-akwụkwa ụgwọ maka mgbakwunye / ndọtị ma ọ bụrụ na ịchọrọ iji ha.

Dika ihe ndi a bu ihe ndi ozo sitere n’aka ndi nke ato, ha nile n’enwe ego nke aka ha. Mayfọdụ nwere ike bụrụ n'efu, ma ọ bụ nwee ụdị freemium (mmachi akpa anaghị akwụ ụgwọ mana atụmatụ kachasị akwụ ụgwọ).

Ọ bụ ihe a na-ahụkarị maka ndị na-ewu ebe nrụọrụ weebụ na ndị na-ewu ụlọ ahịa n'ịntanetị (dịka Wix na Shopify) ka ijikota na ngwanro ndị ọzọ na-ewu ewu.

EGO, ego mkpokọta saịtị nwere ike ibili ngwa ngwa mgbe ị na-agbakwunye ndọtị, ya mere, ọ dị mkpa ichebara ha echiche.

Na ikpeazụ, ngalaba aha:

If you pay for Squarespace with annual, up-front payments, then you get a free domain regardless of which tier you have.

BUT, it’s only free for the first year. After that first year, it will renew at the “regular rate”—this is about the rate you’d pay if you purchased it normally through Squarespace.

It’s also what you’ll pay if you register a domain on Squarespace while paying monthly.

Ọnụ ego ya na-adị iche. Mana n'ozuzu, ọ ga-abụ opekata mpe $ 20:

To be honest with you, this is more expensive than what most domain registrars charge.

But Squarespace is offering good domain name features, plus ease of use—so the calculation may be worth it for many of you anyway.

Anyway, those are the “hidden costs.” To be fair, Squarespace is forthcoming about them. But they are still frequently overlooked by people.

Part 4: Squarespace vs. competitors’ pricing

To compare Squarespace with competitors, let me quickly explain how these companies compete.

Squarespace bụ a website ewu ihe that features ecommerce features.

Ecommerce is a very important component of Squarespace, but it’s still an all-in-one solution for website management in GENERAL.

Wix yiri nke a. Ọ bụ ihe na-ewu weebụsaịtị ọ bụla nwere atụmatụ ecomerce na ntanetị, mana ọ ka bụ ụzọ dị n'otu.

Mgbe ahụ, e nwere Shopify. Shopify bụ onye na-ewu ụlọ ahịa maka ụlọ ahịa n'ịntanetị. Ọ bụkwa otu ụzọ dị-nfe, mana maka ecommerce.

Ha niile yikwara nke ukwuu na ha na-elekwasị anya na imewe, ịdị mfe nke iji, na ịbụ ndị n'ozuzu oke ikpo okwu pụọ.

WixAtụmatụ ọnụahịa dị ka nke a:

Ihe dị icheiche dị n’etiti ọkwa dị ebe a, bụ ọkwa nke nchekwa, yana ngwa ndị ọzọ ma ọ bụ atụmatụ.

Wix nwekwara ihe ndozi ozo ozo maka saịtị a:

N'echiche a, Wix has more complicated pricing than Squarespace.

Otú ọ dị, Wix’s pricing for its four regular tiers is super similar to Squarespace’s.

The difference is that Squarespace’s last 3 tiers include the features that Wix has in its special ecommerce tiers. And, Squarespace doesn’t limit storage at any tier.

So overall, Squarespace is more generous with pairing features to price than Wix.

Ị nwere ike lelee ntụle a zuru ezu m dere banyere ha ebe a ma ọ bụrụ na ịchọrọ ịmụtakwu.

ugbu a, Shopify dị mfe na ọnụahịa ya karịa Wix, and even Squarespace, because it’s more focused:

na Shopify, ndabara bụ ịkwụ ụgwọ kwa ọnwa. Agbanyeghị, ịnwere ike iwetulata ọnụego egosiri n’elu site na ịkwụ ụgwọ kwa afọ ma ọ bụ site na ịkwụ ụgwọ afọ abụọ (nke na-ewepu 10% na 20%, otu ọ bụla).

Even when you compare these to Squarespace’s month-to-month payments, Squarespace is significantly cheaper.

Squarespace STARTS at $16 a month ($12 a month if paid annually), which is just over half of where Shopify amalite.

And Squarespace’s HIGHEST tier doesn’t even come close to ShopifyMGBỌ Nke etiti.

Ọ dị mma, aga m adị mma Shopify:

Shopify is zeroing in on ecommerce features more than Squarespace. The basics are the same, but Shopify nwere ụfọdụ atụmatụ ndị ọzọ:

Ọmụmaatụ, Shopify is stronger in shipping features and extensions, and offers abandoned cart recovery for its first tier, compared to Squarespace only offering that tool for its last tier.

To sum up: if you just need the big tools of ecommerce with your all-in-one site builder, Squarespace is cheaper than Shopify.

And if you want a store with great design, Squarespace may also be better.

Ọ bụrụ na ị na-achọ ịbanye na njirimara ecomerce, agbanyeghị, Shopify nwere ike ịbụ ezigbo ego.

N'ihi na ihe na Shopify and Squarespace, lelee ihe omimi miri emi.

Ugbu a, enwere onye ọzọ na-asọmpi nke m na-ekwuteghị n'elu, n'ihi na ọ bụ anụ ọhịa nke ya: WordPress na WooCommerce.

N'ụzọ bụ isi, WordPress bụ sistemụ nchịkwa ọdịnaya, ma ọ bụ CMS. Ọ dị iche na Shopify or Wix, ọbụlagodi maka ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ.

WooCommerce bụ ihe mega ewu ewu ngwa ngwa kompeni maka WordPress.

WordPress dị oke ọnụ karịa onye wuru saịtị n'ụzọ ụfọdụ, mana o gosipụtara obere nke ngwa eji arụ ọrụ dị mfe, yana ntanetịime ntanetịime dabere na isiokwu ndị ejiri.

Nke a bụ ndepụta dị mfe nke otu saịtị WordPress si etinye ego:

• WordPress.org bụ ngwanrọ na - emegheghị emeghe. Agbanyeghị, iji ya, mmadụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ maka Bochum mkpokọta (na-abụkarị ngalaba) iche.
• WordPress.com bụ ụdị azụmaahịa sitere na ụdị nke dị n'elu. Ọ dị mfe iji ma gụnye Bochum. Ihe nchoputa abughi efu, ma achoro ihe ndozi ekwesiri iji mezue atụmatụ.
• WooCommerce bụ n'efu, mana akwụgola taers maka atụmatụ ndị ọzọ.
• Plugins dị mkpa maka WordPress n'ihi na anaghị arụzị atụmatụ. Na ntinye, odi nkpa ugwo onodu WordPress.com choro iji plugins.
• Ọ bụ ezie na ọtụtụ isiokwu anaghị akwụ ụgwọ maka teknụzụ, ọtụtụ na-akwụghị ụgwọ, na-azụta ihe dị mkpa iji kpọghee nhazi ọ bụla.

You na-ahụ ka ihe mgbagwoju anya na ihe niile bụ? WordPress n'ozuzu na-agụnye akụkụ ndị ọzọ na-emegharị emegharị, ọbụlagodi na ụdị azụmahịa dị mfe.

So a WordPress site CAN be cheaper than Squarespace, if you go out of your way to prioritize your costs only. But WordPress sites frequently run into the hundreds or even thousands.

Yabụ na ọnụahịa dị iche iche na-agbanwe agbanwe, yana WordPress n'onwe ya bụ ihe gbagwojuru anya (ma ọ dịkarịa ala ụdị kachasị akwụ ụgwọ).

Part 5: Squarespace FAQs

Should I get a domain from Squarespace as opposed to another domain registrar?

Azịza eziokwu dị ebe a, bụ na ọ baghị uru ọtụtụ ihe.

Registering a domain through Squarespace is fine if you don’t want too much hassle. It’s also nice to not have to pay for the first year (assuming you’re paying yearly).

Agbanyeghị, ọnụahịa mmeghari ohuru a ga-adi elu $ 20.

Personally, I find it more flexible to use separate registrars: it’s easier to switch the platforms I use to manage my site by simply disconnecting or reconnecting my domains.

Additionally, it’s easier to ensure your domain renews at a lower cost when using a registrar.
