# Webflow vs Squarespace

> A comparison of Webflow and Squarespace that argues the deciding factor is not templates or price but code export. Webflow lets paid users download clean, standards-compliant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and host it anywhere; Squarespace offers no source-code export, only a WordPress-style content dump. That asymmetry shapes who each tool is really for - designers and agencies who want ownership and portability versus small businesses that want a fast, all-in-one launch.

## Achievements

- Webflow exports clean, semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on paid plans - hostable on any server, CDN, or platform.
- Squarespace built one of the most popular all-in-one website and commerce platforms, with unlimited products on most plans and in-person POS.
- Webflow reached an estimated $100M+ ARR and a $4B valuation on the strength of designer-focused visual development.
- Squarespace scaled to millions of sites and a roughly $7.2B private-equity buyout in 2024.

## Latest updates

- **2024-10** — Squarespace completes its take-private acquisition by Permira.
- **2026-01** — Comparison guides continue to name code export as the decisive Webflow advantage.
