Host with AI agents
Siteshare vs Netlify Agent Runners
Netlify's Agent Runners let people in your Netlify team prompt an AI agent to change a site, review it on a Deploy Preview and ship. Siteshare gives your client an editor at their own site, and works with any host.
| Question | Siteshare | Netlify |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An editor at the client's own site, /edit, on the site you built | AI agents in the Netlify dashboard that change a Netlify project |
| How someone edits | Chat, select or draw on the real site; double-click to type | A prompt in the dashboard; the result on a Deploy Preview |
| Who edits | Your clients, with a level you set per client | Netlify team members with a role, such as Internal Builder |
| Hosting | Your own host; Siteshare doesn't host | The site must be hosted on Netlify (GitHub for Git projects) |
| Before it goes live | A draft, a build check on a clean copy, then one commit on main | A Deploy Preview, then a pull request to merge, or Publish |
| AI | An assistant per site, built in | A choice of agents and models, paid in Netlify credits |
| Price | Free for 1 site, then $9 a site a month, down to $4 as you grow (5 sites $36, 20 sites $126); clients and builders unlimited | Credit plans: Free (300 credits), Personal $9, Pro $20 a month with unlimited members |
The difference: a team tool, or a client’s editor
Agent Runners live in the Netlify dashboard. People in your Netlify team prompt an agent, look at the Deploy Preview, and ship through a pull request or Publish. It’s a strong tool for a team that builds and hosts on Netlify.
Siteshare is made for the person a site is handed over to. The client never sees a dashboard, a pull request or a deploy: they open their own site at /edit, point at what should change or ask for it in the chat, and press Publish. What they may change is set per client; anything beyond waits for your approval.
Any host
Agent Runners need the site to be on Netlify. Siteshare only needs the repository on GitHub; whatever deploys your main branch, Netlify, Cloudflare, Vercel or your own, keeps doing so.
Price
Netlify charges credits per run on its credit plans. Siteshare includes the assistant with fair use per site, and clients can always type on the page and publish.
When Netlify is the better choice
- Your sites are on Netlify and the people editing are part of your team.
- You want a choice of AI agents and Netlify's previews in one place.
- You also build new projects and internal tools with agents.
Questions
My sites are on Netlify. Can I still use Siteshare?
Yes. Siteshare commits to your main branch on GitHub and Netlify deploys it, as it does for any commit.
Does Netlify still offer its visual editor?
According to Netlify's docs, the Visual Editor is only available for teams that already have it enabled through Netlify Support.
