A Tiiny Host alternative, compared honestly
Tiiny Host popularized "drop a file, get a link." Pagedrop does the same core job — here is exactly how the two stack up, including where Tiiny still wins.
Drag & drop your file here
or — zip a folder, or drop a single page
Both tools do the same basic trick: drag a static site, HTML file, or PDF onto a page and get a live HTTPS link back with no server, FTP, or build step. The difference is in the fine print — plan limits, what's included at each price, and what still isn't built. Every number below on the Tiiny side is pulled from Tiiny's own pricing and help-center pages; nothing here is estimated.
Pricing, side by side
Tiiny prices verified against tiiny.host/pricing and Tiiny's help center. Pagedrop prices from our own pricing page.
Pagedrop
| Plan | Price | Sites | Storage | Domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | 25 MB / site | Pagedrop link |
| Starter | $6/mo ($4.17/mo yearly) | 5 | 100 MB / site | Custom link name |
| Pro | $19/mo ($13/mo yearly) | 25 | 500 MB / site | Custom domain (roadmap) |
Tiiny Host
| Plan | Price | Sites | Storage | Domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 | 3 MB total | Tiiny link |
| Tiny | $9/mo ($5/mo yearly) | 1 | ~25 MB total | Custom domain |
| Solo | $18/mo ($13/mo yearly) | 5 | ~75 MB total | Custom domain |
| Pro | $38/mo ($31/mo yearly) | 12 | ~1 GB total | Custom domain |
Storage is a meaningful apples-to-oranges difference: Pagedrop's limit is per site, so a Pro account can use up to 25 × 500 MB. Tiiny's published limits describe total account storage shared across every site on that plan. Tiiny also caps monthly visits per plan (roughly 5k on Free up to 500k on Pro); Pagedrop's published plans do not state a visit cap.
Where each one is actually ahead
Where Tiiny Host wins
- Custom domains from $9/mo. Every paid Tiiny tier lets you point your own domain at the site today. Pagedrop's paid plans currently give you a custom link name on a Pagedrop address — a real custom domain is on the roadmap, not shipped.
- A published refund window. Tiiny states a 7-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. Pagedrop's terms let you cancel anytime to stop future billing, but don't promise a refund of the current period.
- Transparent visit ceilings. Tiiny publishes a monthly visit allowance per plan, so you know exactly what you're buying at each tier. Pagedrop doesn't publish a traffic cap at all, which cuts both ways — good if you get a surge, less predictable if you're comparing tiers on paper.
Where Pagedrop wins
- A much bigger free tier. 3 live sites and 25 MB per site, versus Tiiny's 1 site and 3 MB. That's roughly 25× the free storage headroom.
- Per-site storage, not a shared pool. Pagedrop's paid limits apply to each site; Tiiny's apply to the whole account, so more sites on Tiiny means less room per site.
- Lower price for more sites at the mid tier. Starter is $6/mo for 5 sites at 100 MB each; Tiny is $9/mo for a single 25 MB site (with a custom domain thrown in — see the honest trade-off above).
- No account required to publish, on either free or first use. Anonymous publishing works immediately, with an optional free account only needed to manage several sites in one place.
Bottom line: if you need your own domain on a live site right now, Tiiny's paid plans get you there for $9/mo and Pagedrop currently can't — that's the honest gap.
If you want more free-tier room, more sites and storage per dollar once you do pay, and you're fine with a Pagedrop-branded link (or picking your own link name on a paid plan) instead of your own domain, Pagedrop is the better deal today.
Frequently asked questions
Is Tiiny Host's free plan really limited to 7 days?
Tiiny's own pricing page pitches the free plan as one live site for 7 days. Tiiny's help center says something a little different: free links actually stay online indefinitely as long as you log into the account periodically. Either way, Pagedrop's free tier has no login requirement to stay live — it only expires after 30 days with zero visits.
Does Pagedrop support custom domains like Tiiny does?
Not yet. Every Tiiny paid plan, starting at the $9/mo Tiny tier, lets you point your own domain at the site. Pagedrop's paid plans let you pick your site's link name on a Pagedrop address, with custom domain support on the roadmap. If you need your own domain today, Tiiny is the better fit.
Which is cheaper?
For a single small site, Tiiny's $9/mo Tiny plan and Pagedrop's $6/mo Starter plan are close, but Starter includes 5 sites and 100 MB each versus Tiny's 1 site and roughly 25 MB. At the next tier, Pagedrop Pro ($19/mo) holds 25 sites at 500 MB each for less than Tiiny's Solo plan ($18/mo, 5 sites, sharing roughly 75 MB total). Tiiny's advantage at every tier is the included custom domain.
Does switching from Tiiny to Pagedrop mean starting over?
Practically, yes — there is no import tool. But since both host static files, moving is just a re-upload: take the same zip, HTML, or PDF you'd have dropped on Tiiny and drop it on Pagedrop instead. There is nothing to reconfigure.
