The flat-price Cloudflare Access alternative
Everything you share with Cloudflare Access,
without the per-seat bill.
Cloudflare Access charges $7/user/month above a free 50 users. For 100 viewers, that's 50 billable seats – about $350/month – and setup takes longer and needs more steps. display.dev is €49/month for unlimited viewers. CLI, MCP, Google and Microsoft SSO included. No infrastructure to build or maintain.
The demo shows an agent publishing a doc to display.dev – from a chat or a terminal – then a teammate opening its URL, selecting Edit, changing a number on the page and saving v2, a colleague commenting on v2, the agent publishing v3 at the same URL and resolving the comment, and the doc being shared with someone outside the company.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Code – any agent that writes a file. Switch agents anytime – your URLs, versions and comments stay put.

The per-seat problem
Cloudflare Access is free for up to 50 users. After that, it's $7/user/month – regardless of how many artifacts you're hosting.
| Viewers | Cloudflare Access | display.dev |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | $0 | €49 |
| 75 | $175 | €49 |
| 100 | $350 | €49 |
| 200 | $1,050 | €49 |
| 500 | $3,150 | €49 |
Per-seat pricing creates the wrong incentive for internal sharing: every new viewer is a cost increase. Teams end up curating who gets in instead of sharing freely. That's the opposite of what internal publishing is for.
The setup problem
Cloudflare Access is an identity-aware proxy. Using it for static files means running two products together – Pages for hosting, Access for authentication – and owning the result.
Display has fewer setup steps and nothing to maintain after that.
- ✗A project firstPages projects deploy a folder with Wrangler or from a repo. Cloudflare Drop takes a folder or ZIP without an account, but its preview link lasts one hour.
- ✗A second dashboardThe Access application, its policies and its subdomain rules live in Zero Trust, not in Pages.
- ✗Two identity providers, configured separatelyGoogle Workspace and Microsoft 365 are independent connections.
- ✗Ongoing maintenanceCert renewals, IdP credential rotation, Wrangler CLI updates. Your team owns all of it.
- ✗No sign-in on a quick linkTo put a Drop site behind Access, you claim it into an account and set up Access. Non-technical users have no simple path.
Publishing an HTML file

- Cloudflare Access
- You're inside the free 50-user tier with the setup already done, or you need Zero Trust features beyond static hosting – device posture checks, application-layer policies, WARP client enforcement. You're protecting a running application, not sharing files.
- display.dev
- You want HTML or Markdown behind company auth without building or maintaining infrastructure. You're sharing with more than 50 people. You want flat pricing whatever the team size. You want an agent that publishes through the CLI or MCP for non-technical users. You want Google plus Microsoft SSO without separate IdP configuration.

Features
Viewers click a link and sign in with their Google or Microsoft account, or a one-time password. No app to install. No account to create. No IT ticket.
Inline comments on every artifact. Your agent reads them via MCP, fetches the current version, republishes with short_id and base_version, and resolves the thread. For a small fix, your team selects Edit and changes the page directly. Every change lands at the same URL.
Ask your agent to publish the file to Display, in your terminal or in Claude Desktop. No git repo, no deploy pipeline, no project to configure.
Every artifact gets a URL that keeps working. Share in Slack, link in Notion, paste in email. It still works six months later.
No per-seat pricing at any tier. Share with your PM, exec, legal team, or designer for the same flat price.
Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code all work, along with any agent that creates HTML or Markdown output.
Common questions.
Can I replicate display.dev's pricing with Cloudflare?
Cloudflare's free tier (50 users) is the closest equivalent – but it needs more setup steps and ongoing maintenance. Above 50 users, Cloudflare Access is $7/user/month regardless of artifact count. display.dev is €49/month regardless of user count or artifact count.
Does display.dev use Cloudflare infrastructure?
display.dev runs on managed infrastructure. You don't need to know or configure any of it – that's the point.
What about Cloudflare's free tier – isn't that enough for small teams?
If you have fewer than 50 viewers and an engineer with time to set it up, Cloudflare's free tier is viable. Most teams find that the setup burden and the lack of single-file publishing make Display worth €49/month even within the 50-user limit.
Can I see who published each version, human or agent?
Yes. display.dev attributes every version and comment to the agent and the human it acted for, in the comment thread and the audit log. See how identity works.

Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Pro (€49/month flat).
