Pagehaus vs Static.app
Static.app and Pagehaus do the same job: put a folder of HTML, CSS and images online without a build step. They differ in how you upload, what's free, and what they add around the hosting.
| Static.app | Pagehaus | |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Starter $5 (2 sites, 500 MB), Medium $10 (7 sites, 3 GB), Large $15 (30 sites, 10 GB); two months free when paid yearly | Personal $4 (3 sites, 5 GB), Pro $10 (10 sites, 25 GB); two months free when paid yearly |
| Free | A 7-day trial; after that, publishing needs a paid plan | A free plan with no end date: 1 site, 250 MB, your address on pagehaus.site |
| More sites or space | Add-ons: extra sites from $4, storage from $5, teammates from $5 | Extra sites for $2 a month each on Personal and Pro |
| Traffic | Unlimited on paid plans | 20 GB to 1 TB a month by plan; a site is only paused at three times its allowance |
| Publishing | Drag and drop a zip, a desktop app that publishes a folder as you save, API, MCP, GitHub Actions | SFTP, upload in the browser (files, folders or a zip), API, MCP |
| SFTP | Not offered | Yes, with extra logins limited to one folder |
| Editing in the browser | Yes | Yes, with a live preview |
| Shared header and footer | Not offered | Server Side Includes |
| Contact forms | Paid plans, with a spam filter and webhooks | All plans (50 to 5,000 messages a month), emailed to you or a client, and to a webhook if you like |
| Visitor analytics | Paid plans, no cookies | All plans, no cookies; 30 days to two years of history by plan |
| Templates | None | Free starter sites: personal page, small business, portfolio, band |
| Teams | Workspaces and seats (1 on Medium, 3 on Large) | One login per account; extra SFTP logins per site |
