Guide

You built it in the chat. Now what?

Six routes, from free in one minute to a real app. A few short questions show you which one fits and what it costs per year.

  • Effort and yearly cost for every route
  • Honest, even when sharepa isn't the right fit
  • No sign-up, your answers stay with you

Prices checked on

What you built in the chat can reach other people in six ways: from the chat link, which costs nothing, to a real app that can cost several thousand. Which route fits depends mostly on three things: whether your result has to save anything, who should see it, and whether it should run under your own address. The quiz above asks exactly that. Below you find all routes at a glance and explained in detail.

The routes compared

The overview puts all six routes side by side. The time is for the first go, from a finished chat to an address you can pass on. Costs are list prices per year, converted and rounded. They don't include the domain itself, if you don't have one yet, or your subscription with the AI provider.

List prices in US dollars, converted and rounded to ten, as of 28.09.2026. The numbers after the amounts point to the sources.

Individual services such as Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages or Carrd are compared row by row on sharepa compared.

When each route fits

Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini can share a result straight from the chat. You click share and send the link. For a draft you want to show a colleague or look at on your own phone, nothing gets you there sooner.

The link is tied to your account with the AI provider, though. Its address carries the provider's name, there is no password, and it disappears when you delete the chat or the provider changes its rules. In company accounts, an admin can switch off sharing outside the organisation. For a client, or for a page that should run for months, that is too shaky.

Send a screenshot or PDF

A picture is enough when only the look matters. If you want feedback on colours, wording or the layout of a landing page, send a screenshot and get answers by email. As soon as someone needs to click, calculate or fill something in, this route drops out.

Publish with sharepa

sharepa takes the code from the chat and turns it into a page of its own under an address you choose. That works with HTML and React, with a password if you want one, and under your own domain. Forms work without a server of your own: the entries land in your account. You see how often the page was opened, without visitors having to click away a cookie banner.

sharepa is a weaker fit when every person needs an account of their own, or when entries should stay saved and visible to all visitors, like a guestbook. Those are jobs for an app with a database. I run sharepa myself, which is why this page also says where it falls short.

Upload to a file host

Services like Tiiny Host or Netlify Drop take an HTML file and hand you back an address. You save the code from the chat as a file, drag it into the browser window and are online within a few minutes. The free tiers limit the file size and sometimes require you to log in regularly. Password and custom domain cost extra with most of these services.

Publish via developer hosting

Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages and Cloudflare Pages are made for people who work with Git and a command line. You create a project, push the code to a repository and connect the domain through DNS. If you know that world, you get full control and plenty of room to grow. If it is your first time, plan for an evening rather than an hour.

Two limits are easy to miss: Vercel Hobby and GitHub Pages aren't meant for business sites. And a password in front of the page usually comes only with a paid plan. Cloudflare Access protects a page for free for up to 50 people, but takes some setting up.

Turn it into a real app

Some things that come out of a chat are really the start of an app: a client area, a dashboard per person, a list several people work on together. Hosting alone won't do. You need a database and a real sign-in.

Depending on experience and budget, there are three ways there. An AI app builder like Lovable, Bolt or v0 rebuilds the app with you without you touching code, but costs a monthly fee. If you can program, take the code from the chat as a starting point and keep building with Claude Code or Cursor, plus a database like Supabase. And if you have neither time nor experience, have the app built and expect several thousand.

Your login is still a mock-up

Many people build a sign-in screen in the chat because it belongs to the idea. It looks real but doesn't actually check anything. Either everyone gets in, whatever they type, or the password sits in the code that any browser can show. And whatever someone enters after signing in stays in their own browser. A second person sees none of it.

You can find out in ten seconds whether your result really saves anything: type something in and reload the page. If your input is gone, the page saves nothing. Then open it in another browser. If you don't see there what you entered in the first one, it shares nothing with others.

Often the wish for a login just means not everyone should see the page. A password in front of the whole page does that, and you can drop the sign-in screen. If you do need accounts where each person sees their own data, that is an app, and the last route above is the right one.

Questions

Which route is free?

The chat link, a screenshot and sharepa for up to three pages cost nothing. File hosts and developer hosting have free tiers but often charge for a password or a custom domain. A real app almost always costs something, at the latest once it is used regularly.

Can I switch routes later?

Yes. The code from the chat stays the same, and you can upload it somewhere else at any time. If the address changes, you have to send the new link around. With your own domain the address stays the same, and you only change the DNS record.

What if I have my own domain?

Then the chat link and the screenshot drop out. sharepa, developer hosting and most app builders connect a subdomain like offer.mycompany.com through a DNS record at your provider. With file hosts this is usually reserved for paid plans.

Why doesn't the quiz count my AI subscription?

Because you have it anyway, whichever route you pick. The costs only show what putting your result online adds.
