Square’s builder is free. Ours is designed and written for you, and it’s yours if you leave.
Square Online, which Square now just calls websites, is the website builder that comes with every plan from Square, the payments company owned by Block. It costs less than Happy Websites: free on Square Free, or $49 a month on Square Plus to connect your own domain. You build it yourself, and you lose access to it if you cancel.
