Prooflive.ai vs ChatGPT Sites for UK businesses
ChatGPT Sites publishes simple sites and small apps from a chat. It's still in beta. Here's how it compares with Prooflive.ai for a UK business website.
| Prooflive.ai | ChatGPT Sites | |
|---|---|---|
| How the site gets built | Your own AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others) builds every page as real HTML from a description, your old site or a design, checked against our Proofrails | Describe it in ChatGPT; it builds and publishes at a ChatGPT-hosted address or a domain you own |
| Price with your own domain | From £24 a month (Standard), £49 Plus. Free to build; first 30 days free when you go live | Included with paid ChatGPT plans (Plus £20 a month in the UK), up to unpublished usage limits |
| Email on your domain | Standard and up: one mailbox on your domain included, then £4.99 each, with webmail and any mail app | None |
| Where it's hosted | A UK data centre in London | No data residency at launch, so you can't choose where your data lives |
| Business extras | Leads inbox for enquiries, blog (Standard and up), SEO set up automatically, page history, card payments and subscriptions by Stripe (Plus and up) | Visitor counts, data storage for small apps; no built-in enquiries inbox, blog or search set-up |
| Owning and leaving | The site, the domain and the billing are yours | You own the output under OpenAI's terms; no documented code download for prompt-built sites |
OpenAI's launch note said public publishing was not available in the UK, EEA or Switzerland at launch. Its current help article doesn't mention regions, so check your own account.
