Squarespace Pricing Explained
A new four plan lineup for 2026, with transaction fees on the cheapest plan and add ons that lift the bill.
In early 2026 Squarespace replaced its old Personal, Business and Commerce plans with a single four plan lineup: Basic, Core, Plus and Advanced. All four let you sell, but they differ on transaction fees, processing rates and limits. The rates below are annual prices; monthly billing costs more. As with most builders, the plan fee is only part of the cost: payment processing, the Email Campaigns add on, and Acuity Scheduling are separate. Knowing what sits inside the plan and what is billed on top keeps the budget honest.

What lifts the real Squarespace bill
The plan fee is the start, not the finish. These are the costs that most often surprise new Squarespace sellers.
Squarespace pricing FAQ
What happened to the old Squarespace plans?
In early 2026 Squarespace retired the Personal, Business and Commerce names and moved to a four plan model: Basic, Core, Plus and Advanced. Existing subscribers were moved onto the new lineup.
Does Squarespace charge transaction fees?
Only on the Basic plan. Core, Plus and Advanced waive the Squarespace transaction fee, though third party payment processing fees still apply on every plan.
Which plan should most small businesses pick?
Core is the sensible default for most sellers: it waives the Squarespace transaction fee and adds the advanced sales tools that Basic lacks, for a modest step up in price.
Is there a free Squarespace plan?
No. Squarespace offers a free trial but no permanent free tier, unlike Wix or Strikingly. You pay a plan fee once the trial ends.
