Elfsight Pricing Explained (2026): Plans, View Limits and the Free Tier for Squarespace Sites

Disclosure: SquareLocator earns a commission if you buy an Elfsight plan through some of the links on this page (marked as sponsored). It does not change the price you pay, and it does not change what I recommend. Prices below were checked on Elfsight's own pricing and help pages on 16 October 2026.

Elfsight is the widget library I point Squarespace owners to most often when the built-in blocks run out: Google reviews, Instagram feeds, event calendars, FAQs, pop-ups, chat. The widgets are easy to install. The pricing is the part that confuses people, because it is sold per app, it is metered by views, and a widget that runs out of views simply disappears from your site.

This guide explains how Elfsight pricing actually works, what the free plan really gives you, how to work out which tier a Squarespace site needs, and when the All Apps Pack is worth it. If you want my verdict on which individual widgets are worth paying for, read my Elfsight for Squarespace review first, then come back here to pick a plan.

Elfsight pricing at a glance

Elfsight sells every widget (it calls them apps) on the same ladder of plans. You can upgrade a single app, or buy the All Apps Pack, which lifts the limits on every app at once. These are the standard single-app prices in US dollars as listed on Elfsight's help centre today:

Plan	Views per app per month	Widgets per app	Monthly	Paid yearly
Free	200	1	$0	$0
Basic	5,000	3	$6	$60 a year
Pro	50,000	9	$12	$120 a year
Premium	150,000	21	$24	$240 a year
Enterprise T1	300,000	50	$42	$360 a year
Enterprise T2	600,000	100	$56	$480 a year
Enterprise T3	1,200,000	200	$84	$720 a year
Enterprise T4	Unlimited	400	$112	$960 a year

A few things in that table matter more than the headline prices:

• Yearly billing is cheaper. Elfsight says yearly is about 17% cheaper on the regular plans and 29% cheaper on Enterprise. On Basic that works out at $5 a month instead of $6.
• Two apps cost double. The Social Feed and All-in-One Reviews apps sit on a higher price list: $12, $24 and $48 a month for Basic, Pro and Premium. If reviews are the reason you are looking at Elfsight, budget for that.
• There is no domain limit. Elfsight states it does not limit the number of domains, so one paid app can run on several sites. The limit that bites is views.
• Currency depends on your billing country. Prices are listed in USD, but Elfsight bills in USD, GBP, EUR or CHF depending on where you are, so UK readers will see sterling at checkout.
• First subscriptions get a welcome discount. Elfsight's help centre lists a 33% welcome discount on a first subscription, and its plan pages offer a full refund within 14 days for any reason.

You can check the live figures for any widget on Elfsight's pricing page.

How Elfsight views work (and why widgets vanish)

This is the bit most Squarespace owners miss. Elfsight counts a view every time someone loads a page that contains your widget. It is not unique visitors and it is not clicks. Elfsight's own help article spells out the consequences:

• Views are per app, not per widget. If you have two Google Reviews widgets, their views add together against one monthly allowance.
• Site-wide placement multiplies views. A widget in your footer or header loads on every page, so a visitor who reads five pages uses five views.
• Your own visits count unless you are logged in to Elfsight in the same browser you use to edit your site.
• When you hit the limit, the widget is deactivated. It disappears from your site as if it was never installed, then comes back automatically when the monthly counter resets, or straight away if you upgrade. Elfsight sends email warnings before this happens.

The practical risk is a widget going missing in the busiest week of your year. A countdown timer that vanishes halfway through a Black Friday sale is worse than no timer at all. Each app has a Views tab in the Elfsight dashboard with a forecast, so check it after the first fortnight on any new widget.

What the free plan really gives you

The free plan is genuinely free and has no time limit. It is not a trial. You get one widget per app and 200 views per app per month, and free widgets show Elfsight branding. Paid plans are listed as ad-free.

Two hundred views a month is roughly six or seven page loads a day. That is fine for:

• Testing a widget on a hidden or draft page before you commit.
• A widget on a single low-traffic page, such as a job board on a careers page or a calculator on one service page.
• A brand new site that is not getting traffic yet.

It is not enough for anything on your homepage, header or footer once a site has real visitors. My advice: use the free plan to build and style the widget properly, then upgrade before you move it somewhere prominent.

Which plan does a Squarespace site need?

Your Squarespace analytics already tell you what you need. Go to Analytics, then Traffic, note your monthly pageviews, and then work out how many of those pages will carry the widget.

1. Widget on one page: use the pageviews for that page only. A contact page with 300 views a month needs Basic.
2. Widget site-wide (header, footer, announcement bar, chat): use total site pageviews. A site with 8,000 pageviews a month needs Pro, not Basic.
3. Several widgets of the same app: add them together, because the allowance is shared across the app.
4. Leave headroom. Seasonal peaks and a single newsletter send can double a month's traffic. If you are within 20% of a limit, go up a tier.

For most small business Squarespace sites I see, Basic covers a widget on one or two pages and Pro covers anything site-wide. Premium and Enterprise are for busy stores, publishers and agencies managing many client sites.

Single app or All Apps Pack?

The All Apps Pack lifts the limits on every Elfsight app at once. Elfsight describes it as access to all of its apps for the price of three. Today's pack prices are:

All Apps Pack	Views per app per month	Widgets per app	Monthly	Paid yearly
Basic	5,000	3	$18	$180 a year
Pro	50,000	9	$36	$360 a year
Premium	150,000	21	$72	$720 a year

The maths is simple. If you need three or more regular apps on the same tier, the pack costs the same or less than buying them separately, and every other app is thrown in. If you only need one or two, buy them individually. Remember that Social Feed and All-in-One Reviews count as two regular apps each on price, so reviews plus a feed plus one more widget already tips you into pack territory.

A typical case: a restaurant on Squarespace wanting Google Reviews, a Restaurant Menu, Business Hours and an Instagram Feed. Bought one by one that is four apps, so the pack is the better deal.

The Elfsight widgets Squarespace owners pay for most

These are the apps that fill real gaps in Squarespace, with the plan I would start on. Each links to its SquareLocator listing, where you can see what it looks like.

• Google Reviews and All-in-One Reviews. Squarespace has no native way to pull in live Google reviews. All-in-One Reviews is on the higher price list, so if Google is your only source, the single Google Reviews app is cheaper. I compare the options in the best Squarespace review and testimonial plugins.
• Event Calendar. Better than a blog collection pretending to be a calendar. See the booking and calendar plugins roundup for how it compares with scheduling tools.
• Live Chat, WhatsApp Chat and AI Chatbot. These sit on every page, so price them on total site pageviews. The AI Chatbot also has a monthly message limit: 50 on Free, 300 on Basic, 1,000 on Pro and 3,000 on Premium, and it is deactivated when that runs out too. More in the live chat plugins guide.
• Online Form Builder. Every plan includes unlimited responses, which is the main reason to choose it over the native form block for longer forms. See the form plugins comparison.
• Countdown Timer and Popup. Campaign widgets. They tend to go site-wide for a short burst, which is exactly when view limits catch people out.

You can browse all of the Elfsight apps we list on the Elfsight guide page.

How to install an Elfsight widget on Squarespace

1. Create a free Elfsight account and build the widget in the editor.
2. Click Add to website and copy the embed code.
3. In Squarespace, edit the page, add a Code block and paste the code. For a site-wide widget, paste it into Settings, Advanced, Code Injection (footer) instead.
4. Save, then check the live page in a private window. Squarespace notes that code sometimes does not appear while you are logged in, even though visitors can see it.

One plan requirement to know about: Squarespace only runs JavaScript in code blocks on the Core, Plus and Advanced plans (and the older Business and Commerce plans). On the entry Basic or Personal plan the Elfsight script will not run. I cover what each plan includes in Squarespace pricing explained, and if you are new to adding third-party tools, start with how to add plugins to Squarespace.

Honest pros and cons of Elfsight pricing

What I like:

• A real free plan with no time limit, so you can build and test before paying.
• Low entry price for a single widget, and no limit on domains.
• The All Apps Pack is good value once you need three or more apps.
• A 14-day refund window on paid plans.

What to watch:

• Metering by views means cost rises with traffic, and widgets disappear when you run out rather than degrading gracefully.
• Views are shared across all widgets of the same app.
• Reviews and social feeds cost twice as much as other apps.
• Each widget is a third-party script, so adding many of them can slow a page down. Use them where Squarespace has a real gap, not everywhere.

Alternatives to paying for Elfsight

• Native Squarespace blocks. The form block, summary blocks, the menu block and the built-in Instagram block all cost nothing extra. If they do the job, use them.
• Squarespace-specific plugins. Many of the plugins we list are a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, which can be cheaper over a few years. Browse the Squarespace plugins collection and the best free Squarespace plugins.
• Specialist SaaS. For bookings, a dedicated scheduler such as Acuity does more than a widget; see how to use Acuity Scheduling with Squarespace.

My verdict

Elfsight pricing is fair for what you get, as long as you size the plan on pageviews, not visitors. Start on the free plan to build the widget, move to Basic for a single page or Pro for anything site-wide, and switch to the All Apps Pack once you need three or more apps. If you are ready to pick a plan, start from Elfsight's site so the first-subscription discount applies.

Frequently asked questions

Is Elfsight free to use on Squarespace?

Yes. Elfsight has a free plan with no time limit that gives you one widget per app and 200 views per app per month, with Elfsight branding. It suits testing or low-traffic pages. You also need a Squarespace plan that runs JavaScript in code blocks (Core, Plus, Advanced, or the older Business and Commerce plans).

How much does Elfsight cost per month?

A single app costs $6 a month on Basic (5,000 views), $12 on Pro (50,000 views) and $24 on Premium (150,000 views), or less if you pay yearly. Social Feed and All-in-One Reviews cost double. The All Apps Pack starts at $18 a month. Prices were checked on Elfsight's site on 16 October 2026.

What counts as a view in Elfsight?

A view is counted each time a page containing your widget loads. It is not unique visitors and it is not clicks. Views are counted per app across all of that app's widgets, so a widget in your site footer uses one view for every page a visitor opens.

What happens when I run out of Elfsight views?

The widget is deactivated and disappears from your website until the monthly counter resets, or until you upgrade. It stays in your Elfsight dashboard, and Elfsight sends email warnings before it happens. Check the Views tab forecast for each app to avoid surprises.

Is the Elfsight All Apps Pack worth it?

It is worth it once you need three or more apps on the same tier, because the pack costs about the same as three single apps and unlocks every other app too. If you only need one or two widgets, buy them individually.

Can I get a refund on Elfsight?

Elfsight's plan pages state that you can get a full refund for any reason within 14 days, and you can cancel a subscription at any time from your account. Check the current terms on Elfsight's site before you buy.
