How to get 50% off Squarespace in 2026
You can get 50% off Squarespace as a student through Student Beans, which takes half off your first yearly plan, and paying yearly already cuts Basic from $25 to $19 a month (as of November 2026). Heya, the builder behind this guide, is a cheaper route if you don't qualify: $0 for 3 sites and $6 a month with a custom domain.
Heya is ours, so read its row with that in mind. Every other number comes from the sources listed under How we checked, as of November 10, 2026.
Compare yearly and monthly billing
Before you choose a plan, check whether you're looking at the yearly or month-to-month price. Squarespace's US prices as of November 2026 are:
- Basic: $19 a month billed yearly or $25 month to month.
- Core: $29 a month billed yearly or $39 month to month.
- Plus: $49 a month billed yearly or $65 month to month.
- Advanced: $99 a month billed yearly or $139 month to month.
Those aren't student prices. They're the regular billing options, and the yearly plans also include a free custom domain for the first year.
Want to try the builder before paying? Squarespace has a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, but it doesn't have a free plan you can keep using indefinitely. The trial is for trying it out, not a cheaper ongoing plan.
Use Student Beans for the student offer
The Student Beans offer applies to your first yearly Squarespace plan. That's the limit to keep in mind when you're comparing it with the regular pricing: the offer is for that first yearly plan, not an ongoing student rate.
You can't combine it with other codes. If you're choosing between the student offer and another code, treat them as separate options rather than trying to stack them.
Here's how the available ways to save compare:
| Way to save | How much | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|
| Student Beans | 50% off the first yearly Squarespace plan | Students through Student Beans |
| Yearly billing | Basic is $19 a month billed yearly instead of $25 month to month | People choosing yearly billing |
| Free first-year domain | A free custom domain for the first year | People on yearly Squarespace plans |
| 14-day free trial | 14 days free, with no credit card | People trying Squarespace |
| Heya Free | $0 | People who sign in with Google to publish |
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
And don't count the domain offer as a permanent free domain. It covers the first year.
Check fees and what the plan includes
If you're building a store, look beyond the subscription price. Squarespace charges a 2% store transaction fee on Basic and 0% on Core, Plus and Advanced. Card processing is separate: in the US, it's 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic and Core, 2.7% on Plus, and 2.5% on Advanced.
Digital products have their own fees. Those are 7% on Basic, 5% on Core, 1% on Plus and 0% on Advanced. A discounted subscription doesn't remove those plan differences.
Need code injection? It's available on Core, Plus and Advanced, not Basic.
There's also an export limit worth checking before you build: Squarespace exports only to a WordPress-format XML file, and that export leaves out product pages, store pages, portfolio pages, album and index pages, custom CSS and style settings. You can't import it into another Squarespace site, either.
That isn't a full-site download. If taking your site elsewhere matters to you, keep those exclusions in mind while you're choosing the builder, rather than after you've finished the site.
Look at cheaper options
For a link-in-bio page, Squarespace's own Bio Sites are free at biosites.com, with up to 10 per account. That's a separate option from a paid Squarespace website.
Heya, the builder publishing this guide, is another option. It's a no-code website builder at heya.page, and you sign in with Google to publish.
Heya Free costs $0, with no credit card and no time limit. You get 3 sites, up to 5 pages per site, all 68 templates, and a free yourname.heya.bio address with HTTPS. There's a small Made with Heya badge.
Heya Pro Lite is $3 a month. It keeps the 3-site allowance, raises the page limit to up to 20 pages per site, removes the badge, and stops marking links nofollow.
For a custom domain, Heya Pro Standard is $6 a month. It includes 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account with HTTPS, but you'll need to bring a domain from a registrar because Heya doesn't sell domains.
Heya Pro Plus is $15 a month, with 25 sites, up to 10 custom domains, and the option to download your site as a ZIP of HTML files.
What about selling or collecting inquiries? Heya doesn't have a built-in store, checkout or form builder. You can link a button to your checkout or store page, link to a Google Form or a Tally form, and use the Calendly embed for bookings.
The page limits are worth checking too (especially before moving an existing site). Heya allows 40 sections per page, 60 blocks per section and images up to 20 MB. Its embeds support YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly and Google Maps.
For SEO settings, you can add a title of up to 120 characters, a description of up to 300 characters, a favicon and a share image.
