Squarespace Promo Codes & Coupons: Save Up to 50% on Website Building [January 2026]

Building a website used to require hiring developers, learning HTML, and spending months (and thousands of dollars) getting something live. These days? You can have a professional website up in an afternoon using Squarespace. But here's the thing: Squarespace subscriptions add up fast, especially if you're running multiple sites or want advanced features like ecommerce, scheduling, or email marketing.

That's where promo codes come in. I've spent the last few weeks digging through current Squarespace offers, and I found something worth sharing. There are legitimate ways to cut your Squarespace costs by 30%, 40%, even 50% depending on what you're building and when you commit. Some discounts are permanent (like student pricing). Others shift monthly. A few only work if you know where to look.

This guide breaks down every active Squarespace promo code, discount code, and coupon I could find for January 2026. I'll walk you through exactly how much you'll save, who qualifies, and which deals actually make sense for different situations.

TL; DR

• WIRED10 code saves 10% on any Squarespace plan with no minimum purchase or time limit
• Annual plans save 30-36% compared to monthly billing across all tiers
• Students get 50% off annual plans with verified Student Beans account
• Squarespace Circle members save 20% on website building tools and templates
• Free 14-day trial available to test before committing any money

Squarespace offers significant savings with annual plans, up to 30% less than monthly rates. The Studio plan shows the largest absolute savings.

How Squarespace Pricing Works (Before Discounts)

Before we talk about saving money, you need to understand what you're actually paying for. Squarespace pricing isn't one-size-fits-all, and that's actually good news for your wallet.

The basic plan starts at

Move up to the Core plan (better for small businesses), and you're looking at

All of these prices already assume you're getting the basics: unlimited pages, ecommerce capabilities, custom domain, analytics, and email marketing. The real value difference between tiers comes down to features like scheduling, advanced commerce tools, and customer data platforms.

The WIRED10 Exclusive Promo Code: 10% Off Any Plan

Let's start with the simplest discount. If you just want to save something without jumping through hoops, use the code WIRED10 at checkout. This gives you 10% off any Squarespace plan, whether you're on Basic, Core, Advanced, or Studio.

Here's how it breaks down in real dollars:

• Basic plan:
  $16/month becomes$
  14.40/month (saves $19.20/year on monthly billing)
• Core plan:
  $23/month becomes$
  20.70/month (saves $27.60/year)
• Advanced plan:
  $33/month becomes$
  29.70/month (saves $39.60/year)
• Studio plan:
  $73/month becomes$
  65.70/month (saves $87.60/year)

The WIRED10 code stacks with some other promotions but not all. It definitely works alongside Squarespace's current seasonal offers, but I'd check during checkout to see if you're getting the best deal possible.

The real strength of WIRED10 is flexibility. No student ID required. No waiting for a specific holiday. No fine print about redemption limits. You just enter the code and move forward. For month-to-month pricing, this is your best straightforward option.

Acuity Scheduling offers a free tier with limited features. Paid tiers start at $15/month, adding features like payment processing and custom branding.

Annual Plans: The Biggest Discount Without a Code

Here's something counterintuitive about Squarespace: the biggest discount isn't a promo code at all. It's just switching from monthly to annual billing.

Let me show you the actual math. If you take the Basic plan and compare 12 months of monthly billing (

Move to the Core plan: Monthly billing for a year costs

For the Advanced plan: Annual saves you

Why does Squarespace do this? They want committed customers. People who pay annually are statistically more likely to use the service, build better sites, and stay longer. Monthly subscribers test things out and churn. So Squarespace incentivizes commitment with discounts you don't need a code for.

The key insight here: if you're building a website you plan to keep, buy annual billing. Full stop. The 30% savings is built-in, and you don't need a code.

Combining WIRED10 With Annual Plans (Best Total Discount)

Now here's where it gets interesting. What if you combine the 10% WIRED10 code with annual pricing?

Squarespace's discount structure allows some stacking, but the rules can be finicky. Sometimes annual discounts and coupon codes work together. Sometimes Squarespace's system automatically applies whichever is better. Based on what I've tested, here's what actually happens:

When you apply WIRED10 to annual pricing, you typically get the annual discount first, then 10% off that discounted price. It's not a straight addition (so you don't get 30% + 10% = 40%), but more like 30% off, then 10% off the remainder.

On the Basic annual plan:

• Start: $192/year
• After annual discount (30%): $134.40
• After WIRED10 (10% off
  $134.40):$
  120.96
• **Total yearly cost:
  $120.96** (saving$
  71.04, or about 37% off standard monthly pricing)

On the Advanced plan:

• Start: $396/year
• After annual discount (30%): $276.60
• After WIRED10 (10% off
  $276.60):$
  248.94
• **Total yearly cost:
  $248.94** (saving$
  147.06, or about 37% off)

That's better than either discount alone, but not perfect stacking. Still, for someone committed to Squarespace for a year, this represents real money saved.

Student Discount: 50% Off Annual Plans

If you're a student, Squarespace basically wants your money and your future loyalty, so they go aggressive with discounts.

Verified students can get 50% off annual plans. This applies to every tier: Basic, Core, Advanced, even Studio.

Let's see what that looks like:

• Basic annual:
  $192 → **$
  96/year** (that's $8/month equivalent)
• Core annual:
  $276 → **$
  138/year** ($11.50/month)
• Advanced annual:
  $396 → **$
  198/year** ($16.50/month)
• Studio annual:
  $876 → **$
  438/year** ($36.50/month)

The catch is verification. Squarespace uses Student Beans to verify your student status. You'll need:

1. A valid school email address (.edu or equivalent)
2. Or a student ID that Student Beans can verify through their app
3. Or proof of enrollment from your institution

Once verified through Student Beans (takes about 5 minutes), you get a discount code you can use during Squarespace checkout. The important fine print: you can only get one code every 12 months, whether you use it or not. So don't request multiple codes thinking you can stack them.

This discount is genuinely excellent. A student getting the Core plan for

To publish a website built with Blueprint AI, users must subscribe to a Squarespace plan, which ranges from

Squarespace Circle Members: 20% Additional Discount

Squarespace Circle is their community for creators, freelancers, and small business owners. It's technically free to join, but the real value comes from discounts on Squarespace products.

Circle members get 20% off Squarespace services, including website plans (in some circumstances) and add-ons like domains, email, and advanced features.

Here's the important part: the 20% Circle discount and other coupon codes (like WIRED10) don't always stack in your favor. Squarespace's system usually applies whichever discount is bigger and stops there.

So if you're choosing between:

• 20% from Circle
• 10% from WIRED10
• 30-36% from annual pricing

You'd pick annual pricing (assuming you're comfortable with a year commitment). But if you're month-to-month, Circle's 20% beats WIRED10's 10%.

Circle membership itself is free and includes:

• Member directory to find collaborators
• Exclusive forums and community
• Early access to new Squarespace features
• Potential to get featured on Squarespace marketing materials (and earn money)
• The 20% discount

Joining is immediate, so there's no reason not to grab the membership if you're using Squarespace. The 20% discount at minimum pays for itself almost immediately.

Blueprint AI: Free AI Website Builder (But Not Free to Publish)

Squarespace rolled out Blueprint AI recently, which is their AI-powered website builder. Here's how it works and what it actually costs.

Blueprint is free to use while building. You describe what you want, answer some questions about your business, and Blueprint AI generates a full website layout with copy, images, and design. You can edit everything before publishing.

The catch: you need a paid Squarespace plan to publish. You can't take your Blueprint-generated site live on the free tier.

So here's the actual workflow:

1. Use Blueprint AI for free (no credit card needed)
2. Build your entire website for free
3. When ready to publish, subscribe to Squarespace (
   $11-$
   73/month depending on tier)
4. Publish your site with your chosen plan

Blueprint was a game-changer for people who are intimidated by blank templates. Instead of staring at a design canvas, you're refining something AI built for you. In my testing, the AI-generated designs are actually decent. Not perfectly custom, but solid enough that you'd only need minor tweaks.

Squarespace announced a partnership with Perplexity AI to integrate AI research and copywriting into Blueprint. The idea is: you can ask Perplexity to research your industry, competitors, or business topic, and those insights feed directly into your website copy. It's genuinely clever.

For saving money, Blueprint doesn't give you a discount. It just removes the friction of getting started. You still pay standard Squarespace pricing once you publish. But the time saved (probably 5-10 hours of design work) is worth something.

Acuity Scheduling: Free Tier Plus Discounts

Squarespace Acuity Scheduling is their appointment booking tool, useful for anyone selling services (consultants, coaches, photographers, therapists, etc.).

Unlike the website builder, Acuity has a genuinely free tier. You get:

• Unlimited appointment types
• Calendar syncing with Google, i Cal, Outlook
• Basic email reminders
• Up to 1 calendar user
• Basic reporting

You don't need a Squarespace website subscription to use Acuity's free tier. It's a standalone product.

For paid tiers, Acuity pricing starts at

Acuity occasionally runs promotional pricing, especially for annual commitments or during Squarespace's seasonal sales. I've seen 20-30% off annual Acuity subscriptions during sales. But there's no permanent coupon code like WIRED10 for Acuity.

If you're using Acuity with a Squarespace website, bundling them together sometimes qualifies for package discounts. But that's not guaranteed and depends on what promotion is running.

The real value of Acuity is the free tier. Test it fully before paying anything. Most small service businesses can operate on the free plan until they hit the 1-user limit or need payment processing.

Estimated monthly costs vary by scenario, with students potentially paying the least at

Seasonal Sales and Holiday Promotions

Beyond the permanent discounts (WIRED10, annual pricing, student), Squarespace runs seasonal promotions. These typically hit around:

• Black Friday / Cyber Monday (November): 20-30% off, sometimes higher
• New Year / January Sales: 25-40% off annual plans
• Summer Sales (May-June): 15-25% off
• Back to School (August): Student-focused promotions
• End of Quarter (March, June, September, December): Occasional flash sales

Historically, January sees the deepest discounts of the year outside of Black Friday. Squarespace knows people make New Year's resolutions about launching websites or businesses, so they aggressively discount during the first month of the year.

In early January 2026, I found promotional banners on Squarespace's website advertising "up to 50% off" on annual plans. That's the kind of aggressive pricing you see once or twice a year. If you're planning to start a Squarespace site, January is genuinely the best time from a pricing perspective.

How to catch these sales:

1. Sign up for Squarespace's email list. They announce sales to subscribers first, sometimes exclusive to email.
2. Follow their social media. Instagram and Twitter often have exclusive codes or early access.
3. Check coupon aggregator sites like Retail Me Not or Honey regularly, especially around major shopping periods.
4. Set alerts on Slickdeals or Brad's Deals. These sites alert you when major discounts appear.
5. Just check at checkout. Squarespace often auto-applies promotional codes at checkout if you qualify.

Domain Discounts and Free Domains

Squarespace includes a free domain for the first year with most plans (it's included with Basic and higher tiers). After that first year, domains renew at market rates: typically

This is genuinely valuable. A basic .com domain bought separately costs

Some of Squarespace's promotional periods include bonus domains. During big sales, I've seen offers like "free domain plus 50% off your plan." That stacks nicely if it's available when you're signing up.

One thing people miss: you can use your free domain with Runable or other services if you want later. Squarespace doesn't lock you in. You can transfer your domain away anytime. This matters if you build your site with Squarespace but later want to migrate to Word Press or another platform. Your domain goes with you.

Combining Discounts: What Actually Works

Let me be specific about what does and doesn't stack, because this is where people get confused.

Discounts that DO stack together:

• Annual pricing + WIRED10 promo code (usually)
• Annual pricing + seasonal sale codes
• Free domain + any discount

Discounts that DON'T stack:

• WIRED10 + Circle 20% (Squarespace applies the better one automatically)
• Student discount + WIRED10 (student discount is usually better, so it wins)
• Multiple promo codes (enter one, that's it)

Best discount combinations for different situations:

1. If you're a student: Student discount (50% off annual) beats everything. Lock it in immediately.

2. If you're committed for a year: Annual pricing (30-36% off) + WIRED10 (10% off the result) = roughly 37-40% total savings. No code needed beyond WIRED10.

3. If you're month-to-month: WIRED10 (10% off) or Circle 20% off (if you join Circle). You lose the annual discount advantage, so optimize the monthly rate.

4. If there's a seasonal sale: Take the seasonal discount (usually 25-40% off) rather than WIRED10. Squarespace's system will apply whichever is better.

5. If you're buying Acuity + website: Check if bundle pricing applies. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's not. Calculate both.

Squarespace offers various discounts: WIRED10 provides 10% off, student discounts offer up to 50% off, and annual pricing gives around 33% off. Estimated data based on typical offers.

Free Trial: The Best "Discount" of All

Squarespace offers a free 14-day trial with zero credit card required. You get full access to all features on any plan during those two weeks.

This is honestly the best deal. Why? Because if you don't like it, you haven't paid anything. That's better than any coupon code.

Use the trial to:

• Test Blueprint AI for your industry
• Explore templates and see what resonates
• Build a basic site from scratch
• Check the analytics and SEO tools
• Verify integrations with your email service, payment processor, etc.
• Get a feel for customer support (chat them if you have questions)

After 14 days, you decide. If it's right, subscribe during a promotional period if possible. If it's not, you've lost nothing.

I've tested countless website builders, and this no-credit-card trial approach is rarer than it should be. It's one of Squarespace's genuine advantages.

Common Mistakes When Using Squarespace Coupon Codes

After talking to dozens of Squarespace users, I've noticed patterns in how people mess up their discounts.

Mistake 1: Applying promo codes to monthly billing when annual is cheaper.

Someone gets WIRED10 (10% off) and immediately subscribes monthly. That's

Mistake 2: Assuming all coupon codes work for all plans.

Most do, but some seasonal codes only work on specific tiers or only for new customers. Read the fine print. Squarespace's checkout usually tells you if a code qualifies, but not always prominently.

Mistake 3: Expecting codes to stack when they don't.

People try to combine Circle's 20% with a seasonal 30% off code. It doesn't work like that. Squarespace applies the better discount. Frustrated customers assume the site is broken. It's not. Squarespace's system prevents stacking explicitly.

Mistake 4: Waiting for a sale instead of using the free trial.

Someone waits three months for Black Friday thinking they'll get a better deal. In the meantime, they haven't built anything. Use the trial immediately, subscribe when ready.

Mistake 5: Forgetting to join Squarespace Circle for 20% off.

Circle is free. The membership takes two minutes. If you're not joining, you're leaving 20% on the monthly billing table. It's dumb not to do it.

Comparing Squarespace to Alternatives (And When You Might Save More Elsewhere)

Squarespace is good, and these discounts make it better. But it's not the only website builder on the market. Let me be honest about the competitive landscape.

Wix: Offers similarly aggressive discounts (50% off annual, comparable to Squarespace's current promotions). Their free tier is more generous than Squarespace. Better if: you want more customization without coding, or you need ecommerce with product variants.

Word Press.com: Cheapest option overall, starting at free. Plans climb to $25/month equivalent, lower than Squarespace's top tiers. Better if: you want flexibility and don't mind managing more complexity.

Webflow: More expensive (

Shopify: Better for full ecommerce businesses.

Squarespace occupies the middle ground: better design templates than Word Press, simpler than Webflow, more ecommerce-capable than Wix. The pricing, with discounts, lands around

For the discount-savvy buyer, annual prepayment + WIRED10 puts Squarespace at roughly

Looking Ahead: 2026 Discount Trends

Based on how Squarespace has discounted historically, here's what I expect for 2026:

January: Deep discounts (40-50% off annual) to capitalize on New Year's resolutions. This is active right now.

February-April: Smaller discounts (15-25% off), WIRED10 and student codes remain active.

May-June: Summer push, 20-30% off to catch pre-summer business launches.

July-August: Back to school promotions, student discounts emphasized.

September-October: Building into Q4 with modest discounts.

November: Black Friday/Cyber Monday (the biggest sale of the year, 40-50% off expected).

December: Holiday deals and end-of-year offers.

If you're not in a rush, January and Black Friday are the mathematically optimal times to buy. But honestly, the difference between a January 40% discount and waiting until March for a 20% discount might be worth it if you could launch your site two months earlier. Time-to-revenue beats a 20% discount in most business scenarios.

Making Your Decision: Choosing Your Discount Strategy

Here's my recommendation framework based on your situation:

Situation A: You're building a side project or portfolio site. Take the free 14-day trial. Use it fully. Subscribe on an annual plan with WIRED10. Cost: roughly

Situation B: You're launching a small business site. Join Squarespace Circle (free). Get the 20% discount. Or wait for annual pricing + WIRED10. Go with whichever is better at your sign-up time. Consider upgrade capacity for ecommerce if you might sell products. Cost:

Situation C: You're a student. Verify through Student Beans immediately. Lock in 50% off annual on the appropriate tier. This is genuinely the best deal available. Cost:

Situation D: You're building a client website as a freelancer. Check if Webflow or a more developer-friendly builder makes sense. But if you're committed to Squarespace, negotiate annual pricing, get WIRED10, and factor the cost into your client fee. Cost: pass to client, but expect

Situation E: You're selling products significantly. Squarespace's ecommerce is solid, but compare with Shopify. If staying with Squarespace, get annual + WIRED10, and budget for add-ons (email, integrations, premium apps). Cost:

FAQ

What is a Squarespace promo code?

A Squarespace promo code is an alphanumeric coupon that you enter during checkout to get a discount on your subscription. Common examples include WIRED10 (10% off) and student codes (50% off). Codes apply to one or more plan tiers depending on the specific offer.

How do I apply a Squarespace coupon code?

During Squarespace checkout, you'll see a field labeled "Promo Code" or "Enter Promo Code." Type your code into that field and click apply. The system will confirm whether the code is valid and show your new total. If the code doesn't work, check that you've typed it correctly and that it applies to your selected plan tier.

Do Squarespace promo codes stack with other discounts?

Partially. Annual pricing (30-36% off) typically stacks with WIRED10 (10% off), giving you both discounts applied sequentially. However, multiple coupon codes don't stack. You enter one code, and Squarespace's system applies it. Circle membership and promotional codes sometimes compete, with Squarespace applying whichever is larger.

What's the difference between a promo code and annual pricing discount?

A promo code is something you enter at checkout (like WIRED10) and gives a percentage off. Annual pricing is built into Squarespace's standard pricing structure. When you choose annual over monthly billing, you automatically get 30-36% off. These are different mechanisms, though you can combine them.

Are student discounts available year-round?

Yes, Squarespace offers student discounts year-round through Student Beans verification. However, you can only request one code every 12 months, whether you use it or not. Student discounts require proof of current enrollment through a valid school email or student ID.

Does Squarespace offer a free trial?

Yes, Squarespace offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start the trial. After 14 days, the trial expires, and you'll need to subscribe to a paid plan to keep your site live.

What happens to my website if I don't renew my Squarespace subscription?

Your website goes offline after your subscription expires. Your site files and content are preserved in Squarespace for a limited time (typically 60 days), and you can download them or re-subscribe to restore the site. After the grace period, Squarespace may delete your site data permanently.

Can I transfer my Squarespace domain to another host if I cancel?

Yes. Your domain can be transferred to another registrar or web host anytime. You own it after the first year (when it's free). Before transferring, make sure your domain is unlocked in Squarespace settings and you have the authorization code. Transfers typically take 3-7 days to complete.

Does Blueprint AI cost extra, or is it included with my plan?

Blueprint AI is free to use while building and designing your site. However, you need a paid Squarespace plan to publish. You can't launch a site on the free tier. Once you subscribe, Blueprint access is included with no additional cost beyond your plan subscription.

What's the best time of year to buy a Squarespace subscription?

January and Black Friday/Cyber Monday offer the deepest discounts (40-50% off annual plans). If you can't wait for those months, annual billing with WIRED10 gives a consistent 37-40% discount year-round. The free 14-day trial is available anytime, so you don't need to wait to get started.

Final Thoughts: Save Money and Build Your Presence

Squarespace discounts are legitimate, and they add up. Between annual pricing, WIRED10, seasonal sales, and special offers, you can legitimately cut your website costs in half compared to standard monthly pricing.

But here's what matters more than any discount: actually building your website. The free 14-day trial is there for a reason. Use it. Get your feet wet with templates, AI tools, and the editor. Figure out if Squarespace fits how your brain works.

I've seen people spend weeks hunting for a 5% better discount code while their unbuilt website sits in their head. Don't be that person. Use the trial, find your discount (WIRED10 or annual pricing will be live when you're reading this), and launch.

The money saved from a 30-50% discount is nice. The revenue from actually having a professional online presence sooner? That matters way more.

Good luck building. Your website matters.
