Public open-source library reference and versioned developer documentation.

Facts

Free allowance
Free public open-source docs
Plan limits
Custom domain · versioned docs · ads supported
Storage
Generated documentation and downloadable PDF/ePub/HTML artifacts. Total hosted storage and monthly traffic quotas not verified; the 5 GB build disk soft limit is not a hosted-storage allowance.
Account
Free Community account linked to an eligible public free/open-source project. Commercial and proprietary/non-free documentation is directed to paid Read the Docs Business.
Retention
No fixed Community project expiry documented. Repository deletion, account inactivity or Community policy can affect retained docs. Build-log retention not verified.
Custom domain
Custom domains owned and registered by user are supported for Community via CNAME/ANAME/ALIAS pointing to readthedocs.io; domain registration not provided.
Password protection
Public Community docs are readable by anyone; private documentation is a Business feature, not a viewer password on Free.
Billing
Community service is free forever for qualifying open-source documentation and supported by ads; no usage-overage billing was established.
Execution
Community builds: 15-minute limit, 7 GB RAM, 2 concurrent builds, 5 GB build disk soft limit. 25 consecutive default-version failures disable builds until reenabled. Generated pages and optional offline formats are served after builds.

Worth knowing

Public open-source documentation only, with ads. Proprietary/non-free and private documentation need Business. Downloadable PDFs and ePub files are generated documentation, not arbitrary uploaded files.

How we match

Choose the kind of thing you made and the features you need. The results respond to the capabilities recorded in our directory.

Each result explains its fit or mismatch. Unverified commercial-use permission is marked for a terms check. Unknown free features don’t count as confirmed fits.

Apps can run in the browser, as serverless functions, or on a persistent server. The second step changes with your choice: web pages or file links for sites and files, runtime options for apps. For agents and tools, choose an agent service, MCP server, or code sandbox. A sandbox or serverless endpoint is not a continuously running process. In each group, select several to see hosts that support any selected option. Leave them blank to explore broadly; your agent can check the runtime before publishing. Docs & media candidates also need an exact file-format and size check. Commercial mode removes records with documented personal or non-production restrictions; it does not certify permission on other hosts.

Open a host to read its limits and sources. The agent brief packages your choices and those limits into instructions you can paste into your agent. It does not publish anything.

Each record has its own review date (October 11–15, 2026); deployments, privacy, support, and uptime have not been tested. There are no paid placements or affiliate links in this edition.
