How Memberstack and Squarespace compare

Memberstack gives no-code sites real members. Signup and login, gated pages, member profiles, Stripe plans and one-time payments, and a clean API drop into Webflow and other builders in an afternoon. For a designer turning a site into a members-only product, it is the least painful route.

Squarespace makes sites that look finished. Award-winning templates, a fluid editor, commerce, scheduling through Acuity, email campaigns, and member areas mean a designer or small business can build almost anything in one account. It is polished, dependable, and deservedly popular with people who care how things look.
