Skosh vs Squarespace
Squarespace makes good-looking sites, and its plans cost less than ours. The difference is who does the work: you, or us.
Updated October 7, 2026 · By Drew
Choose Squarespace if you have an eye for design, enjoy arranging pages, and want to update the site yourself. You'll pay less each month.
Choose Skosh if you want a custom site without ever opening an editor. We build it, host it and make your changes. You approve each one before it goes live.
