Comparison

aft.page vs Vercel

Not a better Vercel — a different job. Vercel hosts production web apps for teams. aft.page keeps the small software your AI agent builds on one URL, and lets you share it like a Google Doc.

When Vercel is the right call

  • Production frontend apps and framework hosting (Next.js, etc.)
  • CI/CD from a Git repository with preview deployments
  • A team shipping and maintaining one product over time
  • Edge functions and serverless at scale

When aft.page is the right call

  • Your agent just built something and you want a live URL now
  • One URL that stays the same every time your agent updates it
  • Share privately with a teammate — invite by email, revoke anytime
  • Your own domain after claim (first one free, CNAME to cname.aft.page)
  • Internal tools, dashboards, prototypes you update in place and stop when done

Bottom line: Vercel is built for Big Software. aft.page is the publishing and permission layer for the small software agents make — one URL across updates, private sharing, and clear ownership without the ceremony.

Common questions

Is aft.page a Vercel alternative?

For small, agent-made software, yes — aft.page keeps one URL across updates and lets you invite viewers by email. For large production framework apps with CI/CD, Vercel is the better fit. They do different jobs.

Vercel deploys without Git or an account now. What is different?

Vercel Drop and vercel deploy --temporary give a throwaway project that expires in an hour unless you claim it into a Vercel team, and each new drop is a new project. On aft.page an unclaimed link also lasts an hour, but once claimed every update keeps the same URL. On aft.page you invite viewers by email; on Vercel a viewer must be on your Vercel team, and password protection is a $150/mo add-on.

Does aft.page support private sharing?

Yes. Claim a page, make it private, and invite specific people by email — and revoke access anytime.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes after you claim. Your first domain is free — add it on the project Domains tab, then CNAME to cname.aft.page. HTTPS issues from there. Your default URL stays.
