Squarespace: Plan cards rewritten; prices unchanged, Basic's 2% store fee now spelled out
Squarespace rewrote its plan cards: Basic's 2% store fee and each plan's AI credits now appear on the cards, and the automated-tax fee line is gone. Prices didn't change.
The wording
What changed
Squarespace redesigned the plan cards on its pricing page. Monthly prices are unchanged at $25 (Basic), $39 (Core), $65 (Plus) and $139 (Advanced), or $19, $29, $49 and $99 a month billed yearly, and card rates still start at 2.9% + $0.30 (2.7% on Plus, 2.5% on Advanced). The Basic card now states a "2% online store transaction fee" directly, while Core and up say "No fees on online store transactions." Each card now lists its AI credits (10 one-time on Basic, 20, 40 and 120 per month on the higher plans), which were previously shown only in the comparison table.
The cards dropped the line that priced automated tax calculation at 0.15%, 0.10% or 0.05% per transaction (maximum $0.99) and now just say "Automated taxes and shipping"; the page doesn't say whether that fee itself changed.
