TLDR
  • ChatGPT Sites, OpenAI's publish-a-page feature, is paid only. The free and Go plans do not get it.
  • On the free plan ChatGPT can write the page in the chat, but there is no Publish button and no live link.
  • DocStash lets you create and publish a page straight from the ChatGPT free plan, with a shareable link that is private by default.

Wondering if ChatGPT Sites is free, or how to use it on the free plan? You can't. ChatGPT Sites, OpenAI's way to publish a chat as a hosted web page, is paid only and switched off on the Free and Go plans. Here is what the free plan gets, and how to publish a page anyway with DocStash.

What the ChatGPT free tier can and can't do

  • ChatGPT Sites is paid only. It launched in public beta in July 2026 for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. The Free and Go tiers do not get it, so free users can't publish from ChatGPT.
  • Generating code is not hosting it. ChatGPT can write the page in the chat, but that is just text in the conversation, not a live URL. On the free plan there is no host and no Publish step.
  • So the page has nowhere to go. The code sits in the chat. To share it, you would have to copy it out and host it yourself.

Publish a page from the free plan with DocStash

  1. and follow the quick setup. No CLI, no API keys, and it works on the free plan.
  2. Ask ChatGPT to build the page. Say "create a Europe trip planner as a page on DocStash". It writes the page and shows an inline preview. Nothing is saved yet.
  3. Review, then stash. When the preview looks right, click Stash (or tell ChatGPT to stash). You get a stable link like docstash.ai/<slug>, private by default until you publish.
  4. Publish or share. Click Publish for a public link, or share with specific people. Any change updates at the same URL.
