Localtunnel vs InstaTunnel

Choose the tool that matches your expectations for stability, support, and long-running demos.

Built for daily work

InstaTunnel focuses on predictable sessions, stable subdomains, and a consistent CLI experience.

Team-ready limits

Higher tunnel limits and bandwidth are designed for QA, demos, and shared testing.

Docs and support

Clear documentation and upgrade paths help teams move from experiments to production workflows.

How to decide

InstaTunnel is a better fit when

  • You need stable URLs for webhooks and shared previews.
  • Sessions must stay live across a full workday.
  • You want a clear upgrade path for teams.
  • Docs and support matter for onboarding.

Localtunnel can work when

  • You only need quick, short-lived demos.
  • You are testing locally without team dependencies.
  • You do not need persistent subdomains.
