Spacefast charges $0 to start, $7.13 CAD a month for its Go plan and $21.39 CAD a month for Pro, and it comes from Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. The product it sells is a home for apps and sites your AI builds, on the same infrastructure that serves WordPress.com. That is the story in 1 line: the owner of the world’s best known website platform has built a separate company for websites that never touch that platform. A Canadian firm that runs on WordPress now has a split to make, page by page, and the split test in this piece is the way to make it.
The direct answer: Spacefast is a deployment layer, not a builder. It writes no code. Your agent builds the app or site, and Spacefast gives it hosting, a custom domain and a SQL database, with a new version on every publish and a rollback for each 1. It is open to everyone since November 9, 2026. Keep WordPress for publishing, archives and commerce content. Test Spacefast first on a landing page, an internal tool or a prototype, where no archive and no editor workflow sits behind the page.

What Spacefast does, and what it leaves to your agent
The launch post is clear about the division of labour. You keep the AI you already use, with its memory, context and files. Spacefast ships with tool descriptions and instructions written for your agent, so the agent already knows how to deploy a project or add a database. You ask in the chat, and a link comes back in the chat. There is no dashboard to open and no editor to leave. The service charges for infrastructure, not for AI credits, so a firm does not pay for the same inference twice.
The included pieces are the setup work that used to eat the afternoon after a build. Hosting, a domain and a database arrive ready. Each publish saves a version with its own permanent URL, so a team can roll back or link to an old build. Spaces are private by default, and a project can be shared by password, by invite or by a share link. An API, a CLI and an MCP server sit beside the chat route for teams that live in a terminal. Approval checks guard sensitive agent actions such as rollbacks and DNS changes.
1 limit sits in the launch wording, and it decides where the tool fits today. Built-in app authentication is coming soon. It is not live. Launch coverage that lists sign-in as an included feature is ahead of the maker’s own page. A Canadian firm can still build a public page or an internal prototype on Spacefast this week. An app that must know who its user is, and must prove it, waits for that feature or brings its own sign-in from elsewhere.
The split test for a WordPress site
Ask 3 questions of each page or tool your firm runs. First, does anyone publish to it on a schedule? A blog, a resource library and a set of service pages live on an editorial rhythm, with drafts, reviews and an archive that search engines read. That is CMS work, and WordPress still earns its place there. Businesses in ChatGPT will count how often ChatGPT names you covers the other half of that point: the facts about your firm that AI answers repeat have to live somewhere clean and current, and a maintained site is still that place.
Second, does the page need to do something, rather than say something? A booking helper, a quote calculator, a partner dashboard or a one-off campaign page is an app wearing a page’s clothes. Your agent can build it in an afternoon, and Spacefast removes the hosting work that used to follow. The pattern matches the tool tests this site runs on build surfaces. Open Google Vids before you buy Gemini Omni API made the same move in video: use the surface you already hold before you buy a new layer.
Third, who gets hurt if the page vanishes for a day? A prototype can vanish. A checkout path cannot. Spacefast runs on Automattic infrastructure that the company states serves over 15 billion page views a month, and that record is a real point in its favour. A record is still not a support contract for your firm’s revenue page, and the Enterprise tier with its service terms is a sales conversation, not a plan on the pricing page.
What the price buys, and the 1 gap to price in
| Plan | Price a month | Spaces | Usage included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | $0 CAD | 20 | $1.43 CAD |
| Go | $7.13 CAD | 100 | $7.13 CAD |
| Pro | $21.39 CAD | 500 | $21.39 CAD |
The table carries the maker’s own figures, converted at the Bank of Canada rate for November 13, 2026. Personal needs no card and allows commercial use. Go adds hourly database backups and a choice of datacenter. Pro adds team roles and wildcard domains, with 5 members included. Each plan’s included usage matches its fee, and usage past that line bills at the end of the month. That last clause is the real price question, because the pricing page does not state the overage rates a busy Space would draw. Ask for them in writing before a client-facing build goes up.
Speed claims need the same care as prices. Gemini 4 Hydrogen costs $2.14 CAD. Speed is the real change showed this week how a vendor speed figure changes under an outside clock. Spacefast promises a link in seconds from the chat, and the honest test is your own build on your own account. Six frameworks want to run your agents. Pick the one your team can run half-asleep set the standard for agent tooling on this site: the tool your team can run on a tired Friday wins. Spacefast should face that same Friday test.
The recap is short. Spacefast is a deployment layer from WordPress’s owner, priced from $0 to $21.39 CAD a month, with authentication still to come. WordPress keeps the publishing. Spacefast takes the apps.
Run the split test on 1 page this week: pick the internal tool your team keeps rebuilding, publish it on the free plan, and time the run from the first prompt to the live link. No hands-on test was run for this piece, so that timing is yours to take, and it is the number that decides the next page.
