Based on the types or features Squarespace may charge up to $16/month for websites, $26/month for business and if any customer wants to have advanced features then the charges will be up to $46/month. Coming to the opponent, Joomla is far way better when compared on the basis of price, being an open source content management system customers need no to pay anything and can use whole the system without any charge.
