Cloche vs ChatGPT Sites
ChatGPT Sites hosts what you make in ChatGPT, and the site itself has to decide who sees what. With Cloche, your own AI builds the app, and Cloche decides who sees what.

The platform decides who sees what
Cloche
On Cloche, a list is either shared or each person's own, and the platform enforces it. The code your AI wrote never decides who sees a row3.
ChatGPT Sites
On ChatGPT Sites, the site receives a visitor's email after they sign in. OpenAI's docs say to keep authorization decisions in your site's server code1.
Safe sharing on every plan
Your AI does the building
When ChatGPT Sites is the better choice
Pick ChatGPT Sites if you already pay for ChatGPT and build there. A site runs server code with a database and file storage1. On a site private to your workspace, each member can see their own connected data1.
Questions
Can I build a ChatGPT Site with Claude or Cursor?
You can write the code anywhere. Creating, deploying and managing the site happens in ChatGPT1.
Can I build a ChatGPT Site on the free plan?
No. Sites need Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu1.
Can I share a ChatGPT Site with someone outside my workspace?
Yes, as a named viewer. They can open and use the site. They cannot edit it, and connected data needs workspace membership1.
Does each visitor only see their own data on a ChatGPT Site?
Only if your site's code makes sure of it. The site receives a visitor's email after they sign in, and OpenAI says to keep authorization in server code1.
