Free App Hosting — No Signup, No Credit Card, No Git
Every free hosting platform on the internet has a catch.
Vercel: sign up, connect GitHub, configure your project, deploy. Netlify: sign up, pick a plan, connect a repo, deploy. GitHub Pages: create a GitHub account, learn git, push code to a repository, configure settings. Railway, Render, Fly.io — all variations on the same theme. Create an account, provide a credit card, learn a new tool, navigate a dashboard designed for software engineers.
If you built something with AI and just want it on the internet, all of that is the wrong direction.
Deplixo is different. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT, describe what you want, and you get a live link. No account. No credit card. No git. Nothing to install or configure. The AI builds it, Deplixo puts it online, and you have a URL to share.
That’s what this post is about.
Why every other free host requires so much
The platforms that dominate “free app hosting” — Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages — were built for developers. Not as a knock on them; they’re excellent tools. But they assume you’re starting with a Git repository, that you know what a build step is, and that you want to configure deployment settings. Their entire onboarding flow begins with “connect your repository.”
If you don’t have a repository — if you just have an app that Claude or ChatGPT built for you — you’re already stuck.
GitHub Pages requires you to create a GitHub account, initialize a repository, learn git commands, and push your files. There are tutorials for this. They’re all at least 15 steps long.
Netlify is more forgiving — you can drag and drop a folder. But you still need an account, and you need to understand how to get your app into a folder in the first place.
Vercel is arguably the most powerful of the three, but it’s genuinely not designed for this use case. The moment you sign up, it asks you to import a project from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
None of them ask the question Deplixo starts with: “What do you want to build?”
The primary path: connect your AI, describe what you want
The fastest way to put something online with Deplixo is also the one that requires the least effort on your part. Connect Deplixo to Claude or ChatGPT once, and from that point on, you just talk.
“Build me a budget tracker with monthly and weekly views. Put it online.”
That’s it. The AI builds the app, publishes it to Deplixo, and hands you a live URL — all in one conversation, without you leaving the chat window, without copying or pasting anything.
Setup takes about 30 seconds and you only do it once:
After that, any time you want something online, you just describe it. Claude or ChatGPT builds the code, calls Deplixo, and gives you a link. No account required at any step.
The secondary path: paste your code, get a link
If you’ve already got code — something Claude built in an artifact, something ChatGPT wrote in Canvas — you can also go directly to deplixo.com/launch, paste it in, and publish.
No account. Click publish, get a URL.
This works great for one-off shares, for testing something quickly, or for situations where you’d rather not set up the AI connector. The limitation is that you have to copy and paste manually, and if you want to make changes you’ll need to paste again. The connector approach handles all of that automatically — updates republish to the same URL.
What you can share
Deplixo handles any app built from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — which is essentially everything Claude and ChatGPT produce.
- Interactive tools and calculators
- Dashboards and data visualizations
- Forms and trackers
- Games and quizzes
- Single-page apps and utilities
- React apps (no build step required — just paste the code)
If Claude or ChatGPT built it, Deplixo can put it online. No framework knowledge required. No build configuration. No package manager. Just the code.
A real comparison
Here’s what it actually looks like to put an app online with each option:
GitHub Pages: 1. Create a GitHub account 2. Verify your email 3. Create a new repository 4. Learn how to upload files through the web interface (or learn git) 5. Enable Pages in repository settings 6. Wait for it to deploy 7. Figure out your URL
Realistic time: 20–45 minutes if you’ve never done it before. And that’s assuming nothing goes wrong.
Netlify: 1. Create a Netlify account 2. Verify your email 3. Navigate to “Deploy manually” (buried under the import flow) 4. Package your files into a folder 5. Drag the folder to their deploy zone 6. Get a URL
Realistic time: 10–15 minutes. Genuinely not bad, but still requires an account and still requires you to understand how to get your files into a folder.
Deplixo (with AI connector): 1. Add the Deplixo connector to Claude or ChatGPT (one-time, 30 seconds) 2. Ask the AI to build something and put it online 3. Get a URL
Realistic time: under a minute. First time includes the one-time connector setup. After that: however long the AI takes to build what you asked for.
Deplixo (paste site): 1. Go to deplixo.com/launch 2. Paste your code 3. Click publish 4. Get a URL
Realistic time: 30 seconds.
No account means no account
It’s worth being specific about what “no account required” actually means.
When you publish through Deplixo — whether via the AI connector or the paste site — you don’t create an account. You don’t give us an email address. You don’t choose a password. You don’t enter a credit card. You just publish and get a link.
The person you share the link with also needs nothing. No account, no Deplixo login, no special app. They click the link, they see your app working.
That’s the whole transaction.
When you’re ready to keep it
Apps published without an account stay live for 14 days. That’s plenty of time to share a prototype, demo something to a client, or get feedback from your team.
If the app turns out to be genuinely useful and you want to keep it around permanently, you claim it — and claiming is free. When Claude or ChatGPT gives you a live URL, it also gives you a claim link. Click that link, create a free account (email only, no credit card), and the app is yours. It stays live as long as you have an account.
Want a cleaner URL? The Personal plan ($3/month) gives you named slugs: deplixo.com/yourname/your-app instead of the random characters. Want a custom domain? The Pro plan handles that too.
But none of that is required to get started. Publish first, decide later.
Your app also remembers things
Most AI-generated apps lose all their data when you close the tab. On Deplixo, they don’t have to. Every app automatically has access to deplixo.db — a built-in storage layer that persists data between sessions with zero setup.
Just tell Claude or ChatGPT “make sure the data saves between visits” and it handles the implementation. Your tracker tracks. Your list remembers. Your calculator keeps a history.
If you want to understand how this works in more depth, How to Build and Sell an App You Made with AI covers what’s possible once your app has persistent storage — including how people are turning simple AI-built tools into products others pay for.
The short version
Every other free hosting platform was designed for developers who already have a Git repository and understand deployment workflows. Deplixo was designed for the moment after you’ve built something with AI and you just want a link.
Connect Deplixo to Claude or ChatGPT (see the Claude guide or the ChatGPT guide), describe what you want to build, and ask the AI to put it online. You’ll have a live URL before you finish your coffee.
No account. No credit card. No git. No configuration. No terminal. Just a link.
Try it now — go to deplixo.com/launch, paste your code, and publish. You’ll have a live URL in under 30 seconds. No account needed.
