The Tiiny Host alternative with real auth
Everything you share with Tiiny Host,
without the shared password.
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.
Route 01 – from your agent
Your agent publishes it right now.
Paste this into Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent. It publishes and hands back the URL.
Copies the full prompt, including what your agent should do once the URL comes back.
Route 02 – the way you already work
Upload the file, the way you do now.
Same drag and drop, same seconds to a URL. The difference is what you can do with the link afterwards.
No file to hand?
- html + markdown
- up to 50 MB
- no signup
Either route returns a URL and a claim link. Claim it and you can gate that URL by identity – named people or your whole company – instead of a password everyone forwards.

The price comparison
| Tier | display.dev | Tiiny Host |
|---|---|---|
| Free | ✅ 50MB, one-time passwords | ✅ 3 sites, no auth |
| Individual | €15/mo (Solo) | $9/mo |
| Team | €49/mo flat (Pro), SSO | $18–$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
- A prototype for one client
- A freelancer sharing work where a password is enough.
- A quick public demo
- You don't mind who sees it, and you want the link now.
- Personal projects
- The simplest possible URL for something nobody at work needs to read. Tiiny Host's simplicity is real, and when the content isn't sensitive it does the job.
The shared password problem for company use
Password-protect a Tiiny Host page and that password is the entire access control. Anyone who has it can read the page – including whoever it was forwarded to.
For a competitive analysis, an architecture proposal or financial projections, a shared password isn't access control. It's a speed bump.
- ✗No record of who read itOne credential, no identity, so the view log can't name anybody.
- ✗No way to remove one personRevoking access means changing the password for everybody.
- ✗No domain restriction"Only
@acme.comemails" isn't a setting that exists. - ✗One leak reaches the internetA forwarded email, a Slack screenshot, a shared 1Password entry, and the page is public.
Who can open it
A public URL, no sign-in – the same one-link simplicity, for anything that isn't sensitive.
Named email addresses only. Each one gets a one-time password by email, so access is per person and you can remove one without touching the rest.
On Pro, anyone signing in with a verified company domain gets in through Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID. Remove someone from your identity provider and they lose access – no password to rotate.
Publishing stays as simple as a drag and drop. dsp publish ./report.html --name q1-analysis from the terminal, or drop the file into the web app and get the URL back.

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 the current version at the same URL, 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.
Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code all work, along with any agent 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).
