Pick Squarespace if you want to design your own site from polished templates, with selling, invoicing and memberships built in; plans run $19 to $99 a month billed annually, after a 14-day free trial. Pick Think Bright Sites if you already have a site and want it rebuilt for you from its address, with a person reviewing it before it goes live.
What each one gives you, who does the work, and what it costs to start.
| Squarespace | Think Bright Sites | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Designer templates, a drag-and-drop editor, hosting, and commerce: products, services, invoices, memberships. | Your existing site rebuilt on the Think Bright System, our own catalog of rows, page by page. You see the match before anything changes. |
| Who does the work | You do, with 24/7 customer support. | HANS, our AI, does the build. A person reviews it. You approve the match and every change. |
| Starting price | Basic $19/mo, Core $29/mo, Plus $49/mo, Advanced $99/mo, billed annually. 14-day free trial. | Landing page $19.95/mo. Sites self-serve $49.95/mo (in development). With our help: $499 setup. Services, managed marketing, from $750/mo. |
| Build time | — | The automated rebuild runs in minutes. A person then reviews it before it goes live, so go-live is not instant. |
| Editing | Drag-and-drop editor with built-in AI tools. AI credits: 10 one-time on Basic, then 20, 40 or 120 a month. | Click into the text on your page and edit it in place, or leave a voice note. No AI credit meter. |
| Hosting | Included, with a free custom domain on every plan. | Included, on a Think Bright address (yourname.thinkbrightsites.com). Connecting your own domain is on our roadmap. |
| Exit and export | Some content exports as a WordPress-format .xml file. Store pages, product and video blocks, style settings and custom CSS do not. | Pages are static HTML, and every build carries a README of what runs where. A packaged export you download yourself is on our roadmap. |
| AI involvement | Built-in AI tools on every plan, metered by AI credits. | HANS reads your live site and rebuilds each row with your own words and photos. Nothing is invented. |
| Human review | — | A person reviews every row before go-live. |
