They host the files. shiply hosts the app.
STATICX hosts the static files your agent built. shiply.now hosts the app — with the database, functions, email, and domain it needs — in the same one call. Flat price, no account.
The short version: pick shiply.now when the thing your agent built needs a database, server functions, SSR, or email — and you want to ship it in one call with no account. Pick STATICX when the site is purely static and you want its version-scoped conversion analytics and scoped-token story.
Static-only vs backend-included
This is the one thing to understand. STATICX is a static release platform: it serves the files, adds a forms/lead inbox and per-release analytics, and stops there. Anything the app tries to do at runtime — read a database, run a function, send an email — has nowhere to go.
shiply.now runs the whole app. A D1 or Neon Postgres database, Workers Lite edge functions with SSR for every major framework, and a per-site inbox for email are all included in the flat price, and your agent provisions them in the same call that publishes the site. See the full feature list for what ships in the box.

Your agent ships a backend, not just files
No account to create first, no static-output constraint. Your agent POSTs once and gets back a real URL — with the database, functions, and email the app needs already attached.
- D1 + Neon Postgres, Workers Lite functions, per-site email
- SSR for every major framework — not just static output
- No account needed to start — claim it later in one click
A static host runs out of room the moment the app gets dynamic
STATICX serves the files cleanly. But the first database read, server function, or transactional email has nowhere to run. shiply.now includes all three, so the app your agent designed actually works end to end.
- No SQL database, functions, SSR, or email on a static host
- shiply.now includes every one, in the flat price
- Same one call — the backend comes with the site
Your agent gets full write access — secrets stay safe.
The agent keychain lets the AI store and use secrets — API keys, database credentials, tokens — without ever logging them to output. Combined with a write-enabled MCP and Workers Lite edge functions, your agent goes from zero to a live, production-grade app in one call.
Real databases
D1 for edge SQL and Neon Postgres for full relational workloads — provisioned per site, not bolted on afterward.
Write-enabled MCP — 100+ tools
Publish sites, manage databases, attach domains, send email — not read-only. Full docs at /docs.
Workers Lite + SSR
Run edge functions and server-rendered pages for every major framework — no build step, no cold-start delay.
One call, live URL, no account
The agent POSTs once and gets back a real URL. No account needed to start — claim it in one click to keep it forever.
When STATICX is the better choice
STATICX is a sharp static release platform, and for a real set of projects it is the right call. Here is where it wins.
Reach for STATICX when the site is purely static and its version-scoped conversion analytics matter to you — tying leads and conversions to a specific release is genuinely useful feedback that shiply.now does not surface the same way.
It also has a louder token-scoping and safety story: scoped, revocable tokens can lock an agent to a single site, and it documents a per-client MCP setup matrix across eight-plus clients. If constraining exactly what an agent can touch is your priority, that is a real strength.
shiply.now is built for a different job: an agent that needs to ship an app — with a database, functions, and email — to a real URL right now, on a flat bill, with no account in the way. If that is the job, the rest of this page is for you.
shiply vs STATICX — common questions
What is the difference between shiply.now and STATICX?
STATICX is an AI-native static release platform: it hosts the static files your agent builds, with a forms/lead inbox and version-scoped analytics on top. shiply.now hosts the whole app — a D1 or Neon Postgres database, Workers Lite edge functions and SSR for every major framework, per-site inbox email, and a marketplace to hand the finished site off — in the same one call. If your agent built a static site, either works; if it built an app that needs a database, functions, or email, STATICX cannot run it.
Does STATICX support a database or server functions?
No. STATICX is static-only. It adds a forms/lead inbox and per-release conversion analytics, but there is no SQL database, no server function, no SSR, and no email. shiply.now includes all of those, so the same agent can ship a full-stack app, not just its static output.
How does pricing compare?
Both are flat with no usage meter. STATICX prices on capacity: Free for one site, Plus at $9.99 for fifteen sites, Pro at $19.99 for a hundred sites, and an Unlimited custom tier. shiply.now is flat $0 on Free, $8 on Hobby, or $24 on Developer, and that price covers the backend — database, functions, email — not just static file hosting.
Can my agent publish to shiply.now without an account?
Yes. shiply.now needs no account to start — your agent POSTs once and the site is live at a real URL, then one click claims it to keep it forever. STATICX requires an account first. STATICX does have a strong scoped-token story once you are in, letting you lock an agent to a single site; shiply.now offers write-enabled MCP with 100+ tools spanning the database, functions, email, and domains.
