## What is a Spacefast alternative for company documents?

Spacefast is Automattic's home for things that AI agents make. It is in research preview, and accounts come through a waitlist. Spaces are private by default, comments pin to the page, and each space includes a database for small apps. Display (display.dev), the docs workspace for agents and people, accepts sign-ups today. It gives organization ownership, Google and Microsoft sign-in on Pro, audit logs, and comments that agents read through MCP. Use Spacefast to host small apps with data. Use Display for company documents that colleagues review now.

> **Info:** **Checked on 20 October 2026** against [spacefast.com](https://spacefast.com). Spacefast marks its plans as upcoming and shows prices in US dollars.

## Where Spacefast is better

**Small apps.** Each space includes a MySQL-compatible database, authentication, file uploads and email. Display hosts finished HTML and Markdown files and runs no backend.

**Framework builds.** Spacefast builds Next.js, Astro and TanStack Start apps. Display does not build projects.

**Folders and Git.** Spacefast publishes a dragged folder or ZIP, and every push to a connected repository. Display publishes one file for each artifact.

**Custom domains on Free.** The free plan lists 20 spaces and custom domains. Display has custom domains on Enterprise, by contract.

**Price.** The listed paid plans start at $5 a month.

## Where Display is better

**Open accounts.** Display accepts sign-ups today. Spacefast accounts come through a waitlist.

**Longer anonymous pages.** An anonymous Display publish stays open for 30 days. An unclaimed Spacefast space stops 33 hours and 20 minutes after the last publish.

**Organization ownership.** The organization owns the artifacts, with Owner, Admin and Member roles. On Pro, colleagues sign in with Google or Microsoft.

**An audit trail.** Pro keeps 90 days of audit logs.

**Agent comment loop.** An agent reads each comment through MCP, publishes a new version at the same URL and resolves the thread. You can also [correct a line in the browser](/docs/edit-artifacts).

**Unlimited viewers.** No plan charges for each reader.

## When to use which

**Use Spacefast** when the output is a small app with data and you can wait for an account.

**Use Display** when the output is a report, a specification or a plan. Colleagues read it today behind sign-in, with a record of who changed it. Tell your agent: "Publish report.html to Display." Without a saved login, the agent returns a 30-day public preview and a claim link. See [Publish without an account](/docs/claimable).

**Use both** when you need both: apps in Spacefast and documents in Display.
