# The open ChatGPT Pages alternative for docs written with any agent

Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent publishes the doc. Your team comments on it and edits it on the page. Readers need no ChatGPT plan. OpenAI lists ChatGPT Pages – the pages in ChatGPT Space – for Pro, Business and Enterprise plans only.

Kestrel's Q3 retention review, open on Display. The version history lists four versions at the same URL. Claude Code published v1 for Ana Ruiz. ChatGPT published v2 for Ben Okafor. Priya Shah edited v3 on the page. Cursor published v4 for Maya Lind. Version 4 answers Priya's comment “Can we split EMEA out?”

## Should I use ChatGPT Pages or Display?

Use Display when more than one AI writes your docs, or when a reader has no ChatGPT plan. Display starts free, and viewers are free on every plan. Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent publishes HTML or Markdown to Display. People comment on any line and edit on the page. Each save adds a version at the same URL. Use ChatGPT Pages, the pages in ChatGPT Space, when everyone who writes the page has ChatGPT Pro, Business or Enterprise, and several people must type in the same page at the same time. OpenAI documents no page export and no version history.

## Edit any document in-line.

Fix any line right where you read it.

1. Select Edit on the page
2. Change it on the page
3. Save – the next version at the same URL

## Share each doc with the right people

A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one doc, a folder or a Shared Space in Display.

- **Private by default** – Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups.
- **One-click sign-in for colleagues** – On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.
- **Invite people outside your company** – Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
- **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up.

## Which one fits your team?

Choose by who writes the docs and who has to read them.

### Use ChatGPT Pages if

- Everyone who writes the page has ChatGPT Pro, Business or Enterprise.
- ChatGPT or a dot writes most of your docs.
- Several people need to type in the same page at the same time.

### Use Display if

- Your team uses ChatGPT Free, Go or Plus, or a mix of plans.
- Cursor, Claude Code or another AI also writes your docs.
- You share docs with clients and partners by email, and they need no AI plan.
- You need the source file of every doc, and its earlier versions on Solo and higher plans.

## Questions about ChatGPT Pages and Display

### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display?

Keep ChatGPT for the writing. Add Display when Cursor or Claude Code also writes your docs, or when a reader has no ChatGPT plan. ChatGPT Business costs $25 per user a month, billed monthly. Display Team costs $79 a month for up to 150 Editors and Contributors, and Viewers and Commenters are free. Start on the Free plan.

### Can I use Display without ChatGPT Pro, Business or Enterprise?

Yes. Display does not check the AI plan of any person. Connect the agent you use, or select Create in the dashboard and write a Markdown document yourself.

### Can people outside our company read and comment?

Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. To open the doc, they enter a one-time password. To comment, they need Commenter access and a Display account with a verified email. They do not join your organization.

### How do I move a page from ChatGPT to Display?

OpenAI does not document a page export. Copy the text of the page, or ask ChatGPT to write it as Markdown. Then add the file in the Display dashboard, or ask your agent to publish it. To compare the spaces and folders around your docs, read the [ChatGPT Space alternative](/chatgpt-space-alternative) page.

### Does Display keep earlier versions of a doc?

Yes. Each save or publish adds a new version at the same URL. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions. OpenAI does not document a version history for pages.

### Can two people edit a doc at the same time?

One person edits at a time today. Other people comment on any line of the doc. Each save adds a new version at the same URL. Real-time editing for people and agents is planned.

### Which agents work with Display?

Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Claude and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. ChatGPT connects through a custom app on ChatGPT Business and Enterprise. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc.

### Is Display open source?

No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. The file stays as your agent made it, and you can download the source at any time.

## Publish your first doc free

Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown. Readers need no ChatGPT plan.
