Squarespace's page shows two prices per plan and labels neither as annual or monthly, so this page shows them as one listed price with no billing period assigned. Wix states that its displayed prices are for yearly subscriptions. Hostinger's page lists only 48-month prepaid prices. Pixpa is covered in the feature table below; its page text showed no plan prices, so none are given (15-day free trial, no credit card).
Features consultants need, and why
A consultant's site is a credibility page: services, a way to book a discovery call, a way to take payment, and a professional domain. Booking, payments and custom domain are the columns recorded; password-protected pages matter if documents are shared with clients through the site.
| Vendor | Booking or scheduling | Payments | Password-protected pages | Custom domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Squarespace | Not listed in the plan comparison table | Online store fee 2% on Basic, 0% on Core and Advanced | Not stated on the vendor page | Free domain for one year with annual plans; additional domains can be attached to any plan |
| Wix | Scheduling and services listed on Core, Business and Business Elite; not listed on Light | Accept payments listed on Core, Business and Business Elite; not listed on Light | Not stated on the vendor page | Free domain for 1 year listed on the paid plans |
| Hostinger Website Builder | Not listed as a plan feature; the FAQ mentions appointment booking options for service businesses | Ecommerce available on Unlimited and Cloud Startup; not listed on Premium | Not stated on the vendor page | Custom domain free for 1 year |
| Format | Not mentioned on the vendor page | No online store on Basic; 15 products on Pro, 1,000 on Pro Plus, commission free | The page conflicts with itself on gallery password protection (No in one list, Yes in a comparison table) | Not included on Basic; free for the first year on Pro and Pro Plus |
| Pixpa | Not mentioned on the vendor page | Store products: up to 3, 10, 100, unlimited (Basic to Advanced); payment forms on Professional and Advanced | Stated as Yes on all four plans | Custom domain stated on all plans; free domain for year 1 on Creator and above |
Which fits which case
- Call booking on the site: Wix (Core and above) is the only page listing scheduling on a plan.
- Taking payment for fixed-price packages: Pixpa's payment forms (Professional and Advanced) and Wix's accept-payments entry (Core and above) are the closest matches in the recorded text; Squarespace and Format describe store features.
- Sharing documents behind a password: only Pixpa states password protection on every plan, and it is described for pages and galleries.
- Cheapest start: Wix has a free plan, and four vendors state free trials of 14 or 15 days, so a consultant can try a site before paying.
