Plyo vs Netlify Drop, honestly
Netlify Drop is genuinely great at its one thing: drag a folder onto a page, get a live link in seconds, no account needed. If that's the whole job, use it and stop reading.
The comparison starts mattering when the site isn't a one-off. That's where the two tools split:
| Netlify Drop | Plyo | |
|---|---|---|
| time to first link | seconds, no account | a couple of minutes (free account, 3 projects) |
| updating the site | re-drag; without an account each drop is a new site | same URL every time; your AI can publish directly |
| version history | none on a drop | every version on a timeline, restore in one click |
| if an update breaks it | hope you kept the old folder | instant rollback; a failed update never takes the site down |
| leaked API keys | ships whatever you drop | scans before going live, blocks the serious ones |
| works with your AI tools | manual drags | Claude Code/Cursor connect directly; imports from Lovable/Bolt via GitHub |
The honest rule of thumb
A file you'll never touch again: Drop wins on pure speed, and Tiiny.host plays the same game. A project that keeps evolving, gets updates, and would hurt to lose: the versioning, the stable URL and the pre-publish safety check are the actual product, and that's Plyo's side of the split. Many people reasonably use both: Drop for throwaways, a home for the real thing.
One thing to check regardless
AI tools sometimes leave secret keys in the files you're about to make public. Before dragging anything anywhere, our free key-leak scanner checks a live site in seconds; it works on Netlify-hosted sites too.
Plyo is the home for AI-built projects — every version saved, one click to undo, one click to publish, plus a safety check, visitor counts and backups. Free to start: 3 projects, no card needed.
