Sandvox can be purchased with either a Regular or Pro license. The Pro license includes additional features, such as the ability to include raw HTML pages and "pagelets" within the created website, along with Google Webmaster Tools integration.

Overview and features
Sandvox is a website and blog creation tool. The end-user does not need to have any knowledge of web languages in order to effectively use the product.
The features of Sandvox include:
- website creation with pre-designed templates bundled with the download
- An iLife media browser
- Drag and drop support for media files
- Support for blogging and podcasting
- One-click publishing to most webservers after some initial setup
- Direct one-click publishing to some web servers
Sandvox was released in its first version with full-time development by Karelia Software. It includes some features that iWeb does not, including the capability to add comments and trackbacks through Haloscan and JS-Kit (a feature available in iWeb only through a third-party application called iComment or when publishing to .Mac) and the ability to add raw HTML pages and "pagelets". This last feature allows users to add their own content, in their own format, to their websites.
