A Filestage alternative for live Squarespace sites.

Squarepaste and Filestage, Side by Side

Filestage is a proofing platform: you upload documents, video or web pages, invite reviewers to each step, and collect comments and approvals until a version is signed off. Squarepaste is narrower on purpose. Nothing is uploaded: your client gives feedback on the live Squarespace site, talks to you in the project’s chat, and pays for billable tasks in the same place.

Why Squarespace Designers Choose Squarepaste

Feedback on the real site, not a proof

There’s no version to upload and no review round to set up. Your client pins a comment to the page they’re looking at in their own Squarespace editor, and it arrives as a task.

Built for the everyday back-and-forth

Formal approval rounds suit launches. Most client work is smaller: a question, a new photo, a change of heart. Squarepaste keeps all of it in one chat beside the project’s tasks.

Payment is part of the task

Price a task and your client pays it from the task, through your own Stripe account. See how client payments work.

When Filestage Is the Better Choice

Choose Filestage if you proof a lot of non-web work – video, PDFs, documents – or if your projects need formal, multi-step approval with a record of who signed off on which version.

If the work is a live Squarespace site and the feedback comes from the client who owns it, Squarepaste is the better fit.
