When Squarespace makes sense

Choose Squarespace if you love designing, want to sell products or courses from the same site, and are happy to pay a monthly plan. Its templates look good, but you still write every section, add your videos and set up forms yourself.

When Speakerfolio makes sense

Choose Speakerfolio if you want a speaker website that is finished for you. We write the copy from your LinkedIn profile, add your talks, stage video and testimonials, and set up booking, and you can start free with no ads. Your profile is also listed in the Speakerfolio directory.

The real cost

Squarespace raised US prices in July 2026: the Basic plan went from $16 to $19 a month on annual billing, or $25 month to month, and Core from $23 to $29. Speakerfolio's free plan costs nothing, and Premium on your own domain is $500 a year with hosting and the build included, currently $100 for the first year.
