Replace Squarespace for Events
An event platform, not a website builder.
For organizers building event pages on a general website builder
Where Squarespace limits you for events
Squarespace was not built for event management. Here is where it leaves gaps.
Squarespace costs $16+/month for a basic site, plus extra for third-party ticketing. Event Schedule is free for event pages, and $5/month for ticketing with zero platform fees.
Zero platform fees on ticket sales. You only pay Stripe's processing fee.
