SocialProof vs Squarespace (built-in)
Squarespace has a review block. We're built for testimonials.
Squarespace has a built-in reviews feature, but it's designed for product reviews on commerce sites — not for collecting and curating customer testimonials for service businesses. SocialProof is purpose-built for that use case: send a collect link, approve submissions, embed anywhere — including in your Squarespace site.

The honest verdict
If you're already on Squarespace and only need basic product reviews, the built-in block might be fine. If you're a service business who wants to collect testimonials via a shareable link, moderate them, and display them in a polished widget — SocialProof is built for you.
