Shareable vs publishing a Claude artifact
Claude builds real, standalone HTML artifacts (and Claude Design generates polished pages). You can Publish an artifact to a public link, or share a Claude Design page as an internal org URL — but you get fully public or fully internal, with little in between, and no idea who looked.
Shareable hosts the same HTML and wraps it in real controls. Side-by-side:
| Shareable | Claude artifacts | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted page anyone can open (no account) | published artifact | |
| Access control — password, invited people, verified email | public or org-internal only | |
| Know who viewed it + view analytics | ||
| Link expiration / view limit / view-only | ||
| Not search-indexed by default | published artifacts may be indexed | |
| Custom domain | redirect; native soon | |
| Update in place (same link) | re-publish | |
| Publish straight from Claude (MCP / OAuth connector) | ||
| Price | Free · Pro $9/mo | included with Claude |
Why Shareable
Not all-or-nothing access
A published Claude artifact is bare public; a Claude Design share is org-internal. Shareable gives you the middle ground that businesses actually need — password, specific invited people, or verified-email-only.
Know who looked
Claude tells you nothing about who opened a published artifact. Shareable shows view counts, devices, locations, and named viewers on email-gated pages — plus an email the moment it’s opened.
One-click connector
Shareable supports Claude’s OAuth connectors — add it once and ask Claude to publish your artifact to a controlled link.
When Claude artifacts is the better choice
If you just want a fast, fully-public link to a Claude artifact and don’t care who sees it or whether it’s indexed, Claude’s built-in Publish is one click and free. For access control, analytics, or a non-public link, export the HTML to Shareable.
