Weebly's future - owned by Square since 2018
Square acquired Weebly in 2018 and has increasingly integrated it into Square's commerce ecosystem. Weebly has received minimal independent development since the acquisition - the platform has not kept pace with Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress in terms of features and design options. Many Weebly users are migrating to more actively developed platforms.
Weebly refund policy
Weebly offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on annual plans. Monthly plans are not refunded. Contact support at weebly.com/app/help for refund requests within the 30-day window.
What most people switch to after canceling Weebly
