LazyFrog vs ChatGPT Sites
OpenAI's hosting for a website you describe in ChatGPT or Codex: a hub, a dashboard, a tracker, a form, a calculator or a game, published from the chat. It's the quickest way to try an idea. LazyFrog is where that idea becomes a real app you own, built by the same AI in the same chat. Here's what each is for.
Great for
- ChatGPT Sites
- A site described in the chat and hosted by OpenAI: resource hubs, dashboards, trackers, request forms, calculators, guided processes, games
- LazyFrog
- Real apps, whole: a server of your own, PostgreSQL, workers and scheduled jobs, any stack
What runs
- ChatGPT Sites
- HTTP, HTTPS and WebSockets. Raw TCP isn't supported, and neither are some frameworks, private networks, databases, background services and hosting patterns
- LazyFrog
- Any web app with its own processes: web, API, workers, cron
Database and files
- ChatGPT Sites
- A D1 database of up to 10 GB per site, and R2 object storage with no fixed limit
- LazyFrog
- PostgreSQL in every project, per environment, with migrations and snapshots; files in the project
Who can open it
- ChatGPT Sites
- The owner and workspace admins at first; public only where public publishing is enabled (off by default in Enterprise workspaces)
- LazyFrog
- Anyone, once you publish; a private preview until then
Your domain
- ChatGPT Sites
- Where available, a domain you already own; not in Enterprise workspaces at launch
- LazyFrog
- Your own domain on a paid plan
Analytics and forms
- ChatGPT Sites
- Unique visitors and page views (not for sites owned by an Enterprise workspace)
- LazyFrog
- Forms that reach you, email through your own provider, and any analytics you choose
Working together
- ChatGPT Sites
- Editors from your workspace, after the owner's first publish
- LazyFrog
- Collaborators on Pro, your code in git, and a preview your AI updates with a push
What hosting costs
- ChatGPT Sites
- Free through 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027, usage above your plan's monthly allowance is metered: traffic (a page visit is typically 30–50 requests), a monthly base fee for a site with a database, and file storage
- LazyFrog
- A flat monthly price, with a warning well before any limit; at the limit a live site pauses until the month resets, it isn't billed by the visit
Where and who
- ChatGPT Sites
- Hosted by OpenAI; plans and regions are on OpenAI's Help Center
- LazyFrog
- Plans from $9 a month, with the AI you already have
Leaving
- ChatGPT Sites
- Saved versions; the pages don't describe exporting a site's code or data
- LazyFrog
- Export everything whenever you want: code with git history, databases, files
Taking it further
- ChatGPT Sites
- Versions, editors and settings in ChatGPT
- LazyFrog
- Ask ChatGPT in the same chat: “make this a real app on LazyFrog”

ChatGPT Sites's facts from Sites, Data and connections, Publish and share, Manage a site and Pricing, checked 30 October 2026. Where a row says a thing isn't described on their pages, we found nothing about it there; it may still exist.
Who ChatGPT Sites is for
A site made and hosted in one place, in ChatGPT or Codex, for a team or the public: pages, forms, dashboards and small tools with a database and file storage, shared with your workspace or published. Which plans and regions have Sites is on OpenAI's Help Center.
Who LazyFrog is for
People who already use an AI such as Claude or ChatGPT and want their ideas on the web as real apps, without learning about hosting: a server, a database, their own domain, and the code in their hands. Developers like it too, because they can still clone, push and leave.
