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.

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: ```bash # CLI dsp publish ./report.html --name q1-analysis # Or drag and drop in the web UI # → https://acme.dsp.so/0kzNYG7O-q1-analysis ``` --- ## Pricing **Free** – one-time password auth, 50MB, unlimited viewers\ **Pro (€49/month)** – Google + Microsoft SSO, 25GB, custom domain, unlimited viewers [See all pricing →](/pricing) --- [Publish your first artifact free →](https://app.display.dev) --- ## Features **Authentication.** 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. **Comments.** 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. **Publish in 15 seconds.** `dsp publish ./file.html` from your terminal, or one sentence in Claude Desktop. No git repo, no deploy pipeline, no project to configure. **Permanent URLs.** Every artifact gets a URL that keeps working. Share in Slack, link in Notion, paste in email. It still works six months later. **Unlimited viewers.** No per-seat pricing at any tier. Share with your PM, exec, legal team, or designer for the same flat price. **Any agent.** Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor all work, along with anything else that creates HTML or Markdown output. --- ## FAQ **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.
