The honest version
What you get, and what you keep.
Squarespace plans run per site, about $16 to $99 a month each, with no agency discount for running many. Figure $23 a month for a normal business plan, and fifty client sites is roughly $13,800 a year ($23 x 50 x 12), recurring.
Seedly Sites is a one-time $999 license plus flat hosting, $0 to about $200 a month for unlimited Cloudflare Pages, no matter how many client sites you run.

The math that matters
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.
The whole point
Own it, do not rent it.
Squarespace is built to run one business beautifully. The moment you are running fifty of them for clients, you are paying per site forever and there is no real white-label to hide behind. Own the platform instead and that line item disappears.
One license covers unlimited client tenants, a real multi-tenant CMS, clean static output your clients own, and the full source code, yours to keep. None of which Squarespace was built to give an agency.
Getting out
Moving off Squarespace? On your schedule.
Because you own and host the platform, you bring client sites over from Squarespace in batches and run Seedly Sites alongside it while you rebuild, then point each domain across when it is ready. There is no per-site clock and no monthly bill ticking while you migrate.
The porting tools reproduce an existing site to near 1:1 inside the builder, and any URL that changes gets a 301 with canonicals carried over, so the client keeps the rankings you were paid to protect. You switch on your timeline, not a vendor's.
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.
Choose Seedly Sites if
you run client sites and want unlimited tenants, white-label, and no per-site bill.
Choose Squarespace if
you're a single business that just wants the easiest possible site for yourself.
