Paying yearly can save up to 76% off the first term, though renewal prices rise after that period ends.

Squarespace has three main plans billed monthly or annually, with annual billing saving up to 36%. The Basic plan costs $12 a month annually and includes a website, basic ecommerce, and a 2% online store transaction fee. The Core plan, at $17 a month, is the recommended option and removes the online store fee entirely while adding custom code, advanced analytics, and marketing integrations. The Advanced plan costs $25 a month and offers zero transaction fees across the board, unlimited video hosting, and the highest AI usage limits. Larger service businesses can contact sales for a custom Premium plan with a dedicated account manager and enterprise security. Every plan includes a 14 day free trial with no credit card required.
