| | PrestaShop | Squarespace |
|---|---|---|
| Score | 79.5 | 84.0 |
| Rank | #7 | #4 |
| Price | Free and open source | Subscription |
| Best for | Self-hosted shops that want an open-source core | Small shops that also need a designed website |
| Hosting | Self-hosted or partner-hosted | Vendor-hosted |
| Headless option | No | No |
| Extensions | Modules | Built-in features |

Open-source store software with a module ecosystem and a hosted option for owners who do not want servers. Setup, upgrades and security remain the owner's job unless a host manages them, so it is less simple than the hosted tools. The simplest route for a small shop that also needs a website, with design tools and hosting in one service. Store customization is narrower than the commerce platforms, and it has no self-hosting option.
