Squarespace is known for beautiful, designer-grade templates and a clean, polished editing experience. Here's how xigzag compares — fairly, including where Squarespace is the better fit.
xigzagDescribe your business in a sentence and a finished site appears — designed and written for you.
Choose one of its well-crafted templates, then replace the demo content with your own.
An original look, created for your business. No two sites are alike.
Gorgeous — but you're starting from a template many other brands also chose.
0%. On a $10,000 month you keep all $10,000 — your customers pay you through your own account.
Commerce plans reduce or remove its own transaction fee, but you still pay the payment processor and a monthly commerce tier.
Store, bookings, tickets, courses, memberships and donations all built in and working together.
Bolt on separate apps and plug-ins, and hope they get along.
100+ languages and full right-to-left for Arabic, Persian and Hebrew — built in from day one.
Multi-language is supported, but right-to-left languages aren't a first-class, automatic experience.
Change one thing and the whole site keeps up — menus, links and pages stay in sync.
Update something and go hunting for everything else it broke.
Never — ad-free on every plan, including the free one.
Free plans often show the builder's own ads or badges.
Free to build, $19 to go live, then a price that rises gently as you grow — no sudden jumps.
Step up to the next tier and the price can jump all at once.
Free to start, no credit card, cancel anytime — and your site is always yours to export.
Often a card up front, or a trial that quietly turns into a bill.
