Squarespace 2025 Pricing Plans FAQs

Staying on a Squarespace Legacy Plan vs. Upgrading

Q: If I’m on a Squarespace legacy plan, do I have to switch?
A: You can remain on your existing plan indefinitely, provided you don’t change your billing cycle or cancel. Beginning February 27, 2025, you’ll have the option to upgrade if you want—but once you switch away from a legacy plan, you cannot revert back.

Mid-Cycle Squarespace Subscription Changes

Q: I just renewed on a legacy plan. Can I change plans before the year is up?
A: Yes. If you’re based in the US, you can switch at any point after February 27. Your remaining balance might be pro-rated, but check your account for exact details.

Transaction Fee Savings

Q: Which plan has the biggest cost advantage for high-volume sellers?
A: The Advanced plan has no transaction fees for online store, digital content, or memberships, plus the lowest processing rate of 2.5% + $0.30 via Squarespace Payments.

Payment Options

Q: Do I need Stripe if I use Squarespace Payments?
A: No. Squarespace Payments is built-in. If you prefer Stripe, you can still use it, but Stripe’s rates will apply instead.

Code Block Differences on 2025 Squarespace Plans

Q: What’s the difference between Basic and Advanced code blocks?
A:

Basic supports CSS, HTML, and Markdown.
Advanced supports CSS, HTML, JavaScript, iframes, and Markdown (available in Core, Plus & Advanced tiers).

Extra Services: Email Campaigns, Acuity, Domains

Q: Are these included in the main plan cost?
A: Email Campaigns and Acuity are still separate subscriptions. A domain is free for one year with an annual plan, then renews at the standard rate.

How to Choose the Right Squarespace Pricing Plan

Identify Your Goals: Are you building a personal site or launching an online store?
Transaction Volume: If you handle lots of sales, the reduced fees in Plus or Advanced can lead to big savings.
Video & Membership Needs: Hosting and membership fees vary by plan; advanced membership features are in higher tiers.
Customization: Need JavaScript, custom code, or advanced shipping integrations? Aim for Plus or Advanced.

Switching vs. Staying Put

Legacy Plan Users
- You can keep your current plan unless you change billing terms. Switching to a new tier is optional.
New Squarespace Sites
- If you’re in the US, you’ll only see Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced upon sign-up.
- For international users, you’ll see the new options once they launch in your region.

My Recommendation: The Most Balanced Plan

After considering each of Squarespace’s new pricing tiers—Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced—the Core plan offers the best balance of features and affordability for most users. It removes transaction fees on physical products (unlike Basic), supports unlimited contributors, and unlocks key integrations like code injection. If you need a strong blend of eCommerce capability, design customization, and budget‑friendliness, Core is the sweet spot.
