The short version
Squarespace is a well-loved website builder used by more than 14 million entrepreneurs, with scheduling, an online store, member sites, courses and proposals built in. Email marketing is a paid add-on, and text messages are limited to appointment reminders. mDOS builds your site too and includes email and text marketing, a sales pipeline, a shared inbox, Google Business Profile, digital PR (Beta) and loyalty (Beta) in one price per site. An AI team (Beta) does the work once you switch it on, and our marketing team is on live chat on every plan.
How our software compares
This compares our software’s features only. Our AI agents and our partner Marketing Experts come on top, and no single tool here includes them. Every mDOS line is live today unless it says Beta. Every Squarespace line comes from Squarespace’s own website; “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it there. Checked on 9 Oct 2026; sources are listed below.
And on top of the software: AI agents that do the legwork, and vetted Marketing Experts running it with you. No single tool compared here includes them.
Where mDOS is stronger
- Fixed pricing: one price per site with every feature included, where Squarespace sells Email Campaigns as an add-on and charges transaction fees on some plans.
- Email and text marketing included, where Squarespace texts are appointment reminders only.
- A sales pipeline, a shared inbox with live chat, digital PR (Beta) and visitor intelligence, none of which Squarespace lists.
- A real marketing team on live chat on every plan, and on the Managed plan they run your marketing for you.
- Vetted Marketing Experts on the Managed plan: a Certified Partner Agency (such as Founding Partner Mr Digital) runs your marketing for you, under a retainer contracted and invoiced by that partner.
Where Squarespace is stronger
- Proposals, estimates and contracts with client acceptance, on every plan from Basic.
- Online courses with video and text lessons.
- A mature scheduling tool built on Acuity, with multiple calendars and text reminders.
- Scale: more than 14 million entrepreneurs served.

Moving from Squarespace at your own pace
You don’t have to move everything at once. Move your site to mDOS with redirects that keep your old page addresses working, and bring your contacts, customers and bookings across while Squarespace keeps running. We agree a switching plan with you.
More than a website builder
Unlike Squarespace, mDOS isn’t only a website builder. You get The Platform, The AI Agents and The Marketing Experts, working as one, at one price per site.
World-leading software
Not just a website builder: your website, bookings, customer records, marketing and team tools in one system.
Tireless AI agents
AI agents draft campaigns, review replies and follow-ups for you to approve, and spot problems early. Nothing goes out without your approval.
Real experts driving it
Vetted Marketing Experts, led by our Founding Partner Agency Mr Digital, set the plan and steer the AI. On Managed, we run your marketing and answer for the results.
