Here’s how WordPress.com is better value, more power, and more support than Squarespace.
 WordPress.com | Squarespace | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Free to start with paid plans starting at just per month. | No free option. Any site requires a paid plan at $12 a month, minimum. |
| Extra features | All plans include Jetpack features, and Business plan customers can customize their sites even more with thousands of add‑ons and designs. | Your site is limited to the built‑in features and templates offered by Squarespace, and a limited number of third‑party extensions. |
| Flexible hosting | Your website — and everything on it — is yours. Stay on WordPress.com, or move to a self‑hosted WordPress website at any time. Keep your content, keep your design, keep your add‑ons. | Your site only runs on the Squarespace platform — it’s not easy to move your content to another host (and there’s no guarantee that you can build an equivalent site). |
| Global community | Joining WordPress.com means joining a friendly, global community with local events, online courses, forums, and more. | A few websites, and Reddit. More extensive resources are only available to power users with at least three websites. |
| 24/7 support | Get 24/7 support from our expert team. | Chat support is available, but only during limited hours. |
