Overview
HTML Pub is an AI-native publishing platform that turns AI-generated HTML into a live webpage in seconds. Whether you prompt Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to build you a landing page, blog, or portfolio, HTML Pub acts as the missing last step — taking the raw HTML output and hosting it instantly at a shareable URL.
Unlike traditional AI website builders that force you through drag-and-drop interfaces, HTML Pub is designed for the way AI actually works. Paste your code, connect via MCP, or drop a file — and your page is live. No server setup, no deployment pipeline, no account required to start.
The platform is built for both non-technical creators who rely on AI assistants and developers who want a faster way to prototype and share work. With built-in forms, payments, analytics, blog CMS, and custom domain support, HTML Pub handles the full publishing stack so your AI assistant can focus on creating.
Key Features
Instant Publishing — Paste any HTML file or code snippet and receive a live URL in under 10 seconds, with no build step or configuration required.
MCP Connector — Connect HTML Pub directly to any MCP-compatible AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, Make, Cursor, Windsurf) so your AI can publish and iterate pages without you ever leaving the conversation.
AI Builder — Create and edit pages through natural language prompts inside HTML Pub's own AI editor, using a monthly credit allocation to generate, revise, and clone pages on demand.
Blog CMS — Publish AI-generated blog posts as a fully structured blog with index page and individual post permalinks — no external CMS needed.
Forms & Checkout — Collect leads through built-in forms with email notifications, and accept payments by connecting Stripe, Shopify, Gumroad, or Lemon Squeezy — all without a backend.
Custom Domains — Point any domain you own to a published page with one-click CNAME setup and automatic HTTPS provisioning.
Analytics & Heatmaps — Track visits, clicks, scroll depth, and conversion goals with built-in privacy-friendly analytics; the Pro plan adds click heatmaps and 90-day data retention.
Multi-page Sites — Build full websites with navigation, linked pages, and shared styles — not just isolated single-page deployments.
Pricing & Plans
HTML Pub offers three tiers with a generous free option to get started without a credit card.
| Plan | Price | Pages | Storage | Custom Domains | AI Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/month | 5 | 50 MB | — | 5,000 (start) |
| Starter | $10/month | 50 | 500 MB | 1 | 20,000/month |
| Pro | $25/month | 250 | 5 GB | 5 | 60,000/month |
Free plan includes the MCP connector and basic analytics (7-day history), but pages expire after 7 days and URLs use random slugs.
Starter ($10/month) unlocks persistent pages, custom slugs, 1 custom domain, 30-day analytics, and CSV exports — the most popular tier for personal projects and freelancers.
Pro ($25/month) is aimed at power users needing volume: 250 pages, 5 custom domains, heatmaps, 90-day analytics, and API access for programmatic publishing.
AI credit top-ups are available on any plan and never expire — starting at $2.50 for 2,000 credits ($1.25/1K), down to $0.70/1K for 50,000 credits.
Best For
- Developers and indie hackers who use Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to generate HTML and want a zero-friction way to publish and share
- No-code creators building landing pages, waitlists, or portfolios using AI prompts without touching code
- Marketers and founders who need a live prototype or campaign page live in minutes, not hours
- Freelancers demoing client concepts or delivering quick micro-sites without spinning up hosting infrastructure
- Teams using n8n, Make, or automation workflows that need a publishing endpoint for AI-generated web content
FAQ
Is HTML Pub really free to use?
Yes, HTML Pub has a free tier that requires no account and no credit card. You get 5,000 AI credits to start and can publish up to 5 pages. The catch is that free plan pages expire after 7 days and use random slugs. Paid plans start at $10/month and keep pages live indefinitely. For a full comparison of best AI website builders at different price points, see our 2026 guide.
What file types does HTML Pub accept?
For the web uploader, HTML Pub accepts standard HTML files (.html, .htm), with the public FAQ listing a 10 MB HTML upload limit. You can include embedded CSS in <style> tags and JavaScript in <script> tags, and link to external CDN resources. All standard HTML5 elements are supported.
How does the MCP connector work?
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector lets you link HTML Pub to any compatible AI tool — including Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, n8n, and Make. Once connected, your AI assistant can create, update, and publish pages directly from within the conversation, without you needing to copy-paste HTML manually.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Custom domains are available on Starter ($10/month) and Pro ($25/month) plans. You add your domain in the Dashboard, follow HTML Pub's setup instructions to point the required CNAME target, and your page is served on your domain with automatic HTTPS once DNS verifies.
What happens to my pages if I cancel my subscription?
If you cancel and revert to the free plan, you keep up to 5 pages, but free plan pages expire after 7 days. Pages beyond the free limit become inaccessible until you resubscribe. HTML Pub recommends keeping a local copy of your HTML before canceling.
Are AI credits shared across plans and top-ups?
Monthly plan credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. However, credit top-ups purchased separately never expire and are added to your balance on top of plan credits. Top-ups work on any plan — including Free.
Is my HTML code secure on HTML Pub?
Yes. Uploaded HTML is served in an isolated iframe context, separate from the HTML Pub dashboard, so scripts inside your page cannot access your account session or cookies. Content Security Policy headers are applied, and uploads are scanned for common abuse patterns like phishing and malware.
What's the difference between the AI Builder and pasting HTML?
Pasting HTML is a manual workflow — you generate code elsewhere (in Claude, ChatGPT, etc.), copy it, and paste it into HTML Pub to publish. The AI Builder is HTML Pub's own built-in AI editor where you can describe changes in natural language and have the AI generate or modify the page for you, consuming AI credits. Both workflows result in a live published page. For alternatives that handle the full design-to-publish workflow, see our review of Atoms, an AI no-code app builder.
