HaveTML vs artifact.guru · Checked 19 Oct 2026
HaveTML or artifact.guru: which fits your work?
Both give the files your AI writes a link you can share. HaveTML is built around feedback: comments on the page, canvases, and pages your agent can read back. artifact.guru is built around file storage, with more formats and per-viewer analytics on paid plans.
HaveTML
The page, as a link
File storage vs feedback on the page
Both give the files your AI writes a link you can share. The split is what happens after the link exists. HaveTML is built around feedback: comments pinned to the page, canvases, and pages your agent can read back. artifact.guru is built around file storage, with more formats and per-viewer analytics on paid plans. The table on this page is the sourced version of that split. If you need PDF and Office previews, zipped multi-page sites, files over 50 MB, or a custom domain today, their Individual plan at $12 a month is the one that already does it. If you want unlimited free links, comments on the page, canvases, encrypted files, or Pro at $6 a month, HaveTML is the one that already does that.
Formats, and the flags this table reads
HaveTML publishes HTML, Markdown, YAML and JSON. artifact.guru's docs list HTML, React, zipped sites, Markdown, Mermaid, Excalidraw, Marp, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and images. The File formats row stays theirs until PG-07, PG-10 and PG-11 are all on — extra formats on the HaveTML side. Other rows flip on a single flag: MCP OAuth in every documented client (PG-01), analytics (PG-02), one-click rollback (PG-03), custom domain (PG-06), edit-only-what-changed (PG-08), files over 50 MB (PG-09). Until those ship, the table tells the truth as of the checked date rather than a roadmap.
What moving a file actually means
There is no import from artifact.guru. Download the HTML or Markdown, then drag it into HaveTML or ask your agent to publish each one. Every file gets a new link. Keep their copy if you still need the formats or the analytics. Publish to HaveTML when the next reader should comment on the page, or when the agent should read JSON state back. Both products are remote MCP servers; HaveTML's connect page has a setup for Claude, Cursor and Codex.
