1. Claude's native Publish

Best for: sharing within a team where everyone uses Claude.

The fastest option — one click inside Claude. The artifact stays linked to your conversation, and Claude handles hosting. The catch: recipients must be logged in to Claude to view it. Anyone without an account (or on a plan that doesn't support artifact viewing) hits a login wall.

Verdict: Great for internal sharing. Useless for external audiences.

2. ShareDuo

Best for: sharing Claude artifacts with anyone, quickly, with control over expiry and privacy.

ShareDuo was built specifically for this use case. Paste or upload the HTML, get a public link in under 10 seconds. No signup required to upload or view. The link works in any browser.

What sets it apart from the other options: view analytics (see how many times your link was opened), password protection, expiry control (1 hour to 30 days), and an MCP integration that lets Claude push artifacts directly without leaving the conversation.

The one limitation: links aren't permanent — maximum 30 days. If you need a URL that lives forever, use Netlify or GitHub Pages instead.

Verdict: Best for sharing Claude artifacts with external audiences. Fastest setup, most features for the use case.

3. tiiny.host

Best for: permanent public hosting with a simple interface.

tiiny.host is a clean HTML hosting service with a drag-and-drop interface. Links are permanent and the free tier is generous. It requires signing up for an account, and features like password protection and custom domains are on the paid plan.

It's a solid choice if you want permanent hosting and don't mind creating an account. It's not built specifically for Claude artifacts — no analytics, no expiry control, no MCP.

Verdict: Good for permanent hosting. More friction than ShareDuo for quick shares.

4. Netlify Drop

Best for: permanent hosting with zero signup, for people comfortable with a developer workflow.

Netlify Drop (app.netlify.com/drop) lets you drag a folder of files and get a public URL — no account needed. It's fast and the URL is permanent as long as you don't delete the deploy. The interface is minimal: no analytics, no passwords, no expiry.

One friction point: Netlify expects a folder, not a single file. For a single .html artifact you need to put it in a folder first, which adds a step.

Verdict: Good backup option if you want a permanent URL without an account. Slightly more friction than ShareDuo for single files.

5. GitHub Pages

Best for: developers who want permanent hosting with version control.

GitHub Pages turns any repository into a static website. It's free, permanent, and you get a clean URL (username.github.io/repo-name). The setup takes 10–15 minutes the first time: create a repo, commit the HTML file, enable Pages in settings.

This is overkill for a quick share, but ideal if you're iterating on an artifact and want version history, or if you want a permanent home for something you'll keep updating.

Verdict: Best for permanent, developer-maintained projects. Too much setup for one-off shares.

Which should you use?

Sharing with someone who doesn't use Claude → ShareDuo
Sharing within your Claude team → Claude's native Publish
Need a permanent URL → tiiny.host or Netlify Drop
Developer workflow, want version control → GitHub Pages
Want to share from inside Claude without copy-pasting → ShareDuo MCP

For most people sharing Claude artifacts with the outside world, ShareDuo is the fastest path from artifact to shareable link.
