Websites and hosting
GitPage alternatives
2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- Free hosting provided by vendor (operational hosting and CDN)
- Pre-built niche templates and SEO toolkit tuned for conversions
- Vendor support, reviews-verified trust and on‑demand customer service
- Built-in MCP integrations with Claude and turnkey OAuth flows
- One-time purchase business model (you'd incur hosting and model costs monthly)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches GitPage, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
