Bespire vs Squarespace

Squarespace makes design-led websites, with booking through its separate Acuity scheduling. Bespire has booking, classes and passes in the same plan as your site.

Website and booking in one plan. Bes sets it up.

Which one fits you?

Squarespace is a good fit if…

  • You want design-led templates or Blueprint AI to start your site
  • You need scheduling on its own: Acuity also works without a Squarespace website
  • You need text reminders, gift certificates or memberships with automated billing

Bespire is a good fit if…

  • You want your website and booking in one plan, not two subscriptions
  • You'd rather have Bes set it all up from a conversation or your current site
  • You want the dashboard in Hungarian, English or German

Can I start from my Squarespace site?

Yes. Give Bes your current site's address. It reads up to 50 pages and picks up your logo, colours, services and tone, then builds your Bespire site for you to review.

Do I need a separate scheduling subscription?

No. Booking, classes and passes are part of your Bespire plan, alongside your website.
