How does exe.dev differ from VPS + Caddy + some subdomain on a domain you already own?

For auth one can use Caddy and basic auth. Yes it takes a bit of work but it isn’t that bad. Plus zero subscription costs if your VPS is a Raspberry

Agreed, it takes a few hours to set up everything. But just did it with Claude the other day, and I was up and running in no time! :-)
