Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Tilda at $15/mo, against Squarespace at $25/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Squarespace tops out at $139/mo, Tilda at $25/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Recently moved: Squarespace (2026-09-23). A change only counts once a second clean read agrees.
- Squarespace: It bills by country — entry £16/mo to a UK reader and €17/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads.
- Tilda: We read the same $15/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- First-term discounts are common here — the renewal figure is the one you will live with.
- Free plans usually carry the vendor’s branding and domain.
- A site is hard to move; weigh the exit cost before the entry price.
