Choosing the right subscription plan
Squarespace currently offers four different subscription plans, each with different levels of features and functionalities. As Squarespace often adjusts what is offered with each plan, check www.squarespace.com/pricing to see what's currently available and to see the current prices for each plan.
The Squarespace subscription plans are classified as either Website plans, or Online Store plans, and there are two of each. Your free trial account has no restrictions, but when you try to perform certain tasks, you may see information telling you that it's only accessible on certain higher plans.
All Squarespace plans include:
- Access to the full set of Squarespace editing and site-building tools, including the full range of site templates
- Fully integrated e-commerce, including selling unlimited products or taking donations
- The ability to create all types of pages: standard pages, blogs, and galleries
- Unlimited storage space for images and other files
- The hosting of your site, with unlimited bandwidth
- SSL security included, free of charge
- A free custom domain name if you pay yearly
Almost everything we cover in this book applies to all levels of Squarespace plans, so browsing the table of contents will give you a good idea of all the features you get as the standard. The differences in the subscription plans are mainly about restricting the number of things, paying more or less in transaction fees, and allowing you access to do more complex things with e-commerce websites.
