Netlify Drop alternative: paste one HTML file, get a link

Netlify Drop is a fast on-ramp to the full Netlify platform — great when you're deploying a project with a build step. 100mini is narrower and lighter: paste or upload a single AI-generated HTML file and get a live link with no account and no setup. If you need frameworks, functions, or CI, use Netlify. If you need to share one HTML file in 30 seconds, use 100mini.

Account and speed

Netlify Drop lets you drag a folder in without an account, but you need to sign up to claim and manage the site. 100mini is built around the no-account path: paste, publish, share. For a one-off link, that removes the step where most people stop.

What you can deploy

Netlify runs builds and serverless functions, so it fits real apps. 100mini hosts a single static HTML file (or a .zip with index.html) — no build, no config. That's a limitation for projects, and the whole point for a finished AI-generated page.

Link lifetime and pricing

Netlify's free plan is $0 with 300 credits a month; sites persist while you stay on it. 100mini is free with no credit metering: anonymous links last 7 days, and a free account keeps 5 pages permanently.

100mini is best for

Non-developers and makers who produced HTML with an AI tool and want a link now; anyone who values no account and 7-day ephemeral sharing.

Netlify Drop is best for

Developers deploying real apps and sites; anyone who needs builds, functions, custom domains, or a permanent production site.

Switching for a single file

There's nothing to migrate for one HTML file: open 100mini, paste the code, click Publish. Keep Netlify if you're deploying a full repository.
