Hello,
When considering different technical options, selection criteria should not
be limited to required functionalities: the possibility (and cost) of
moving from the selected system/hosting to another is also important
From the listed examples, WordPress.com allows to export the site (so you
can move to the web hosting of your choice), and Squarespace allows to
export text content (option to import into a Wordpress site); I did not
checked the two others.
Best,
Patrice
