Per-site rent, or one license you own.

Per-site subscriptions are pure overhead when you carry them across clients. Squarespace is built for one business, not an agency, with no real white-label and no multi-tenant dashboard.

Seedly Sites runs every client from one login under your brand, and the sites are portable static output you own.

Own it, do not rent it.

Squarespace provides a managed home for individual sites. An agency with many client sites needs to budget for a plan on each one and work within Squarespace's branding and account model.

Seedly Sites uses one source license for multiple client tenants, with a shared CMS and portable static output. Budget separately for the infrastructure accounts that run it.

Moving off Squarespace? On your schedule.

You can rebuild client sites from Squarespace in batches and run Seedly Sites alongside it. Review each draft and point its domain across when ready. Your own infrastructure and provider costs begin when you provision them.

The porting tools create draft pages and a parity report. Review content, forms, media, and redirects before deployment. You can preserve or redirect URLs, but search rankings are never guaranteed through a migration.

The verdict.

Squarespace is great if you're one business running one beautiful site. The second you're running fifty of them for clients, you're paying per site forever with no real white-label, and that's just not built for an agency.
