Static.app Review

Depends

Should I use Static.app?

All-in-one solution to host static websites online. Free, fast, and simple static website hosting. Publish your static webpage with just one click. - static.app

· 1 month ago

Buy it if you need one-click hosting for a simple static site and prefer flat pricing over Netlify's usage credits. Skip it if you need Git CI/CD, backend functions, or a proven vendor — use GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages instead.

Pricing mismatch: official Personal plan $9/mo, Spotsaas says starts at $5 — confirm before paying.

No visible security documentation; unclear disclosure process if something breaks.

low

Trustpilot feedback is sparse and recent — limited long-term reliability signal.

low

Users ask for help with www-to-non-www redirects — custom domain setup may need manual DNS work.
