Our Squarespace review is based on the plans, refund terms and features Squarespace publishes, as our editorial team has not tested it. Every plan can sell products and services, storage and bandwidth are uncapped, and each site starts with a 14-day free trial with no card needed. The catch is the refund policy: only annual plans cancelled within 14 days get money back, and the Basic plan adds transaction fees on store and membership sales.
Strengths on paper
- Every site starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required
- No caps on storage or bandwidth on any plan
- All paid plans can sell products and services and send invoices
- Core and Advanced allow custom CSS and JavaScript and unlimited contributors
- Annual plans include a free custom domain for the first year
Weaknesses on paper
- No free plan, so you must pay once the trial ends
- Refunds only for annual plans cancelled within 14 days; none on monthly plans
- Basic charges a 2% store fee and a 7% fee on digital content and memberships
- Squarespace Payments is not available in India

Questions people ask
Does Squarespace have a free plan?
No. Squarespace has no free plan, but every site starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is needed. You can upgrade during or after the trial.
Can I get a refund from Squarespace?
Annual website plans cancelled within 14 days of purchase get a full refund, minus the cost of any free domain. Monthly plans and renewal payments are not refunded.
Which Squarespace plan is best?
Core suits most small businesses: it removes the online store transaction fee, adds unlimited contributors and allows custom CSS and JavaScript. Basic works for simple sites, while Advanced also removes the fee on digital content and memberships and adds more selling tools.
Does Squarespace include a free domain?
Yes. Annual plans include a free custom domain for the first year, after which it renews at the standard rate. You can also connect a domain you already own on any plan.
How many pages can a Squarespace site have?
Current plans allow up to 1,000 pages per site. Squarespace itself advises staying under 400 pages, because large sites can load slowly on mobile.
Can I use Squarespace in India?
Yes, Squarespace accepts major cards and, for subscribers outside the US, PayPal. Squarespace Payments is not offered in India, so Indian sellers would rely on the Stripe or PayPal options the store tools support. We found no rupee prices on the official pricing page.
