Replace Squarespace for events.
An event platform, not a website builder.
For organizers building event pages on a general website builder
Today, in four tabs
Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.
After
- A public page for every event, and a calendar of all of them Free
- Free RSVP with a capacity limit per date Free
- Tickets with QR check-in and a check-in dashboard Pro
- Newsletters to the people who follow your schedule Free
The gaps
Where Squarespace limits you for events
Squarespace was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.
- Requires building event pages from scratch or with plugins
- Ticketing needs third-party integrations with extra fees
- No calendar sync, newsletter, or attendee management built in
- Monthly cost for a website when you just need event pages
None of that is a fault in Squarespace. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.
Done natively
What Event Schedule gives you over Squarespace
The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.
Ready-made Event Pages
Professional event pages are generated automatically from your event details. No design or page building required.
Integrated Ticketing
Ticket sales are built in with zero platform fees. No third-party ticketing plugin that takes a cut of each sale.
Embeddable Widget
Already have a website? Embed your Event Schedule calendar on any site. Works with Squarespace, WordPress, or any platform.
Open Source
Fully open source and selfhostable. No vendor lock-in. Squarespace owns your site if you cancel.
All-in-one Platform
Ticketing, newsletters, calendar sync, AI tools, and event graphics in one platform. No plugins or integrations to manage.
White-Label Branding
Remove Event Schedule branding for a fully custom experience. Use your own domain, logo, and colors for a professional look.
The swap sheet
Squarespace vs Event Schedule
Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Squarespace column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.
From $0/mo (Pro $5/mo)
| Feature | Squarespace | Event Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Event pages | Manual page build | Auto-generated |

| Newsletters | Third-party plugins | Built-in |
| Google Calendar sync | Not built in | Two-way sync |
| Embeddable widget | N/A | Works on any site |
| Open source | Not built in | Selfhostable |

Free
$0Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit. Embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month.
Pro
$5 a monthTicketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.
Enterprise
$15 a monthYour own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.
Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

About Squarespace
Squarespace is a general website builder that some event organizers use to create event pages and sell tickets through third-party integrations. While it produces beautiful websites, building event functionality on top of a website builder means extra complexity, plugins, and ongoing maintenance for features that should be built in.
What it is good at
- Beautiful, professionally designed website templates
- Flexible page builder for custom layouts
- Built-in SEO tools and analytics
Why switch to Event Schedule?
Squarespace builds websites. Event Schedule builds event experiences with ticketing, newsletters, and audience tools included.
What moves across
- Professional event pages generated automatically, no page building needed
- Integrated ticketing with zero platform fees, no third-party plugins
- Embeddable widget if you already have a Squarespace site
- Open source with selfhosting option, no vendor lock-in
Squarespace to Event Schedule FAQ
What people ask before they move the event work across.
Is Event Schedule a good Squarespace alternative for event pages?
Yes. Event Schedule provides ready-made event pages with all event details, ticket purchasing, and a shareable schedule. No website building, plugins, or custom page design required. You can also embed the calendar widget on your existing Squarespace site.
How does Event Schedule pricing compare to Squarespace?
Event Schedule is free for unlimited events and a public schedule page. The Pro plan at $5/month adds ticketing with zero platform fees. Squarespace costs $16 or more per month for a basic website, plus additional fees for third-party ticketing integrations.
Do I still need a website if I use Event Schedule?
Not necessarily. Your Event Schedule page works as a standalone event website with a custom URL, all your events, ticket sales, and subscriber signups. If you already have a website, you can embed the Event Schedule calendar widget on it.
Can I keep my Squarespace site and use Event Schedule for events?
Yes. You can embed the Event Schedule calendar widget on your Squarespace site with a simple code block. Use Squarespace for your main website and Event Schedule for event pages, ticketing, and attendee management. They work together seamlessly.
Can I embed Event Schedule on my Squarespace site?
Yes. The embeddable calendar widget works on any website including Squarespace. Add a code block to your Squarespace page and paste the embed snippet to show your event calendar.
