Mossy vs Squarespace: Built for UK Makers

Squarespace is known for beautiful templates and all-in-one websites. But if you're a UK maker focused on selling, not blogging, there's a simpler option that saves you serious money.

The UK Difference

Squarespace is US-based, built as a website builder first, shop second.

Mossy is built in the UK, for UK businesses. A commerce platform designed specifically for makers, with better payment rates and local support in your timezone.

What You'll Actually Pay

Here's what a £50 sale really costs you:

Squarespace (Commerce Basic)

  • £23/month (or £16/month paid annually)
  • £1.58 payment processing (3% + £0.20 for UK cards)
  • Total per transaction: 3.16%

Mossy

  • £10/month for unlimited products
  • £0.58 payment processing (0.75% + £0.20 for UK cards)
  • Total per transaction: 1.16%

You save £1 on every £50 sale. That's 63% less in payment processing fees, plus half the monthly cost.

The Real Savings

Per month costs:

  • 10 sales (£500): Save £10 in fees + £6/month = £16 total
  • 25 sales (£1,250): Save £25 in fees + £6/month = £31 total
  • 50 sales (£2,500): Save £50 in fees + £6/month = £56 total

Annually (at 25 sales/month):

  • Squarespace: £192 subscription + £300 fees = £492
  • Mossy: £120 subscription + £75 fees = £195
  • You save £297/year

Built for Different Purposes

Squarespace is a website builder with commerce added on. Beautiful templates, but built for agencies, photographers, and content-heavy sites. If you just want to sell your work, it's more complexity than you need.

Mossy is a commerce platform for makers. Built for selling first, with blogging included when you need it. Set up in minutes, not hours, without paying for features designed for corporate sites.

Why UK Businesses Choose Mossy

  • Lower fees — 63% savings on payment processing, half the monthly cost
  • Simpler — Built for selling, not blogging or portfolios
  • Faster setup — Start selling today, not next week
  • Local support — UK-based team in your timezone
  • GBP pricing — No USD conversions or international rates
  • Built for you — Designed for UK makers selling to UK customers

The Bottom Line

Squarespace is powerful, but it's overkill if you just want to sell your work. Why pay £23/month plus international processing rates for features you won't use?

Mossy gives you what you actually need at half the cost, with 63% lower transaction fees and a platform built for UK makers.

Stop paying for features you don't use and fees you don't need.

Build with Mossy.
