Outdated plans remain accessible for existing customers but are no longer available for new sign-ups. Here's what you need to know about managing legacy subscriptions:

Checking Your Current Plan Access your website's payment menu to verify your current subscription details and pricing. While older plans may be more affordable, they might lack newer platform features.

What Happens When Changing Plans

  • Switching to a current plan cancels your legacy subscription permanently
  • You'll gain access to newer features but may lose some older ones
  • Cannot revert to outdated plans after switching or canceling
  • Reactivating expired sites requires choosing current subscription options

Cover Pages Subscription (Pre-November 2016)

  • Existing subscribers can continue using the service
  • Cannot convert to website subscription
  • New websites require starting fresh with current plans

Squarespace Select (Pre-November 2021)

  • No longer available for new sign-ups
  • Existing subscribers retain support while subscription remains active
  • Enterprise solutions now available for businesses seeking custom subscriptions

Price Differences Legacy subscriptions often remain cheaper than current plans, even after price adjustments. You can maintain your existing outdated plan as long as it stays active, but switching to current plans is permanent.

Subscription Changes When upgrading to current plans:

  • You'll get access to newer platform features
  • Some legacy features may become unavailable
  • Choose plans carefully to retain needed functionality (e.g., e-commerce features)

For current pricing and plan options, refer to the official pricing overview. Enterprise customers seeking custom solutions should explore enterprise-specific offerings.
