LazyFrog vs Claude artifacts
What Claude makes beside the chat: a document, a page, a small tool or a dashboard you can edit, share and, on paid plans, give storage and connected apps. 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
- Claude artifacts
- A prototype in minutes, beside the chat, with Claude inside it
- LazyFrog
- Making that prototype a real app: a server, a PostgreSQL database, your domain
Where it runs
- Claude artifacts
- On Anthropic's infrastructure, as a small app that can call Claude
- LazyFrog
- On LazyFrog, at its own address, as an app you own
Who can open it
- Claude artifacts
- Everyone needs a Claude account, except for a legacy artifact published from a chat. An artifact that uses Claude or connected apps can't be shared with “anyone with the link”
- LazyFrog
- Anyone, at its own address, without an account; a private preview until you publish
Keeping data
- Claude artifacts
- Storage of up to 20 MB of text per artifact, personal or shared, on Pro and up. Unpublishing deletes it
- LazyFrog
- A PostgreSQL database in every project, with migrations, snapshots and backups
AI inside
- Claude artifacts
- The artifact calls Claude; each viewer's own plan pays for it
- LazyFrog
- Your app calls a model through LazyFrog's AI gateway with your provider key and a monthly cap; visitors need no account
Connected apps
- Claude artifacts
- Reads and writes the apps each viewer has connected to Claude (Pro and up)
- LazyFrog
- Your app connects to a service with its own key, kept as a secret
A server, workers, your domain, analytics
- Claude artifacts
- Not described on Anthropic's pages
- LazyFrog
- A server with workers and scheduled jobs, your own domain on a paid plan, your code in git, export anytime
Taking it further
- Claude artifacts
- Signed-in people on Free, Pro and Max can copy a published artifact's code
- LazyFrog
- Ask Claude in the same chat: “make this artifact a real app on LazyFrog”

Who Claude artifacts is for
Trying an idea in the chat and sharing it with people who use Claude: a page, a calculator, a dashboard or a small tool, made in minutes, with Claude and your connected apps inside it. Artifacts are on every Claude plan.
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.
