Six places to move a file from Tiiny.host
Ranked for sharing a file or a page. Each card names the job that host does best, what it costs, and what to watch for.
1. NudgeHost
That's us, full disclosureBest for sharing a file or a page without signing up
Drop a file up to 25MB and it has a link before you have an account. A free account keeps 10 links live at once with no banner on any of them. You can paste HTML straight in rather than uploading a file, and an AI client can publish through the MCP server's four tools without leaving the conversation.
Cost
- Free, with 10 live links at 25MB a file
- Pro at $12 a month, or $120 a year
- Studio at $29 a month, or $290 a year
Where it wins
- Publishing without an account, up to 25MB a file
- No banner on any plan
- No visitor cap on any plan
- The API and the MCP server on the free plan, with 2 API keys at 20 requests a minute
Watch-outs
- Password protection starts on Pro
- Custom domains start on Pro, with 1 custom domain
- It hosts files and runs no builds, so a framework project has to be built before it goes up
Figures from the current NudgeHost plan definitions.

How this list was put together, and who wrote it
NudgeHost publishes this page and sells one of the six hosts on it. That is why every host is measured on the same criteria, and why every entry says where that host is the better pick. Mark Boreland wrote it.
Every competitor figure comes from that vendor's own pages, carried across from our head-to-head comparisons, and each card shows the date those pages were read. If a figure here has gone out of date, write to support@nudgehost.com.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers on cost, free plans and publishing without an account. The cards above carry the detail.
What is the best Tiiny.host alternative?
NudgeHost, if you are sharing a file or a page. It takes 25MB without an account, and a free account keeps 10 links live with no banner. If you want a framework project built for you, Netlify Drop is the better pick.
Is there a free Tiiny.host alternative?
Yes. The NudgeHost Free plan holds 10 live links at 25MB a file, with no banner and no visitor cap, and it carries 2 API keys at 20 requests a minute for scripts and AI clients.
Can I publish without making an account?
Yes, on NudgeHost. You can upload a file of up to 25MB without an account and hold 3 links at once, each live for 7 days. Signing up keeps them at the same addresses.
What does Tiiny.host cost?
Tiiny.host sells 4 paid plans. The entry plan is $9/mo, or $5/mo billed annually.
How should I compare these hosts?
Start with what you are publishing. A single file or a page suits a file host, and a project that needs building suits a static host. Then check three things on the free plan: how large a file it takes, whether it puts a banner on your link, and whether it caps how many people can open it.
