Tiiny Host alternative with real company authentication
Tiiny Host gives you a link for your HTML file in seconds. So does display.dev. The difference: Tiiny Host uses a shared password that anyone can share around. display.dev uses your company's Google or Microsoft identity – only `@yourcompany.com` emails get in.

The price comparison
| Tier | display.dev | Tiiny Host |
|---|---|---|
| Free | ✅ 50MB, one-time passwords | ✅ 3 sites, no auth |
| Individual | – | $9/mo (Solo) |
| Team | €49/mo flat, SSO | $18/mo, no SSO |
| Pro | – | $38/mo, no SSO |
Tiiny Host's paid tiers are cheaper per month – but they don't include any identity-based authentication. If you need more than a shared password, you're beyond what Tiiny Host can do regardless of price.
When Tiiny Host is the right tool
Tiiny Host is genuinely good for simple, low-friction public sharing:
- Freelancer sharing a prototype with a client (password-protected is fine)
- Quick demo without caring who sees it
- Personal projects where you want the simplest possible link
- Situations where shared-password access is acceptable
If your use case is personal or the content isn't sensitive, Tiiny Host's simplicity is real.
The shared password problem for company use
When you protect a Tiiny Host page with a password, that password is the only access control. Anyone who knows the password can view it – including people who received it from someone else, former employees, or anyone the link was forwarded to.
There's no way to see who accessed the page. There's no way to revoke access for a specific person. There's no domain restriction ("only @acme.com emails"). If the password leaks – through a forwarded email, a Slack screenshot, a shared 1Password entry – anyone on the internet can view your internal content.
For competitive analyses, architecture proposals, financial projections, or anything you wouldn't post publicly, a shared password isn't access control. It's a speed bump.
display.dev: identity-based auth, same simplicity
display.dev's free tier uses one-time passwords – click the URL, enter your email, receive a one-time link, you're in. No shared password. Access is per-person, per-email.
display.dev's Pro tier uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 SSO – one click, company identity, done. Only @yourcompany.com emails can authenticate. Revoke an employee's access by removing them from your IdP. No password to rotate.
The publish workflow is the same drag-and-drop simplicity:
dsp publish ./report.html --name q1-analysis

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. The artifact stays a living document, not a one-shot screenshot.
dsp publish ./file.html from your terminal, or one sentence 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.
Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor all work, along with anything else that creates HTML or Markdown output.
Common questions.
Can I try display.dev's SSO before committing to €49/month?
Yes. The free tier uses one-time password authentication – every viewer enters their email and receives a one-time access link. It's real per-person auth, just without the one-click SSO convenience. Upgrade to Pro when one-click Google/Microsoft SSO is worth €49/month to your team.
Does display.dev work for the same drag-and-drop use case?
Yes. The display.dev web app has a drag-and-drop uploader – drop your HTML file, get a link. The CLI is faster for repeated publishing, but the web UI is just as simple as Tiiny Host for one-off uploads.
What about HTML files with multiple assets?
display.dev supports directory publish: dsp publish ./site/ publishes a directory with all assets. Tiiny Host also supports zip uploads for multi-file sites. Both work.
Is display.dev free for simple use?
The free tier includes 50MB storage, unlimited viewers, and one-time password authentication. No credit card required. For personal or freelancer use without SSO, it's free.
What if I just need to share something quickly with one person?
Free tier. Upload, get a one-time password, share it. The recipient enters their email and gets access. No password to manage.
Publish your first artifact in 15 seconds.
Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Pro (€49/month flat).
