## Our verdict on Squarespace

Squarespace pairs designer templates with hosting and commerce, but AI is a modest add-on, with credits ranging from 10 one-time to 120 monthly.

**Best for**
Small businesses wanting template-based sites with built-in ecommerce

**Not for**
Anyone who needs a free plan for an ongoing site

### Pros

- A 14-day free trial requires no credit card.
- Its terms say users own their content and AI-generated output.

### Cons

- There is no free plan, and Basic starts at $25 billed monthly.
- AI credits are limited, with only 10 one-time credits on Basic.
