Tildasite ↗pricing ↗
A website builder based on a large library of pre-made blocks, popular for long-form pages and editorial-looking sites. Paid plans start at $15/mo (Personal 1 website); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $25/mo (Business 5 websites). We read the same $15/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Tilda at $15/mo, against Squarespace at £16/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 £89/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 $25/mo to a US 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. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
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.
