Is GitHub Pages free?

Yes. GitHub Pages is free, reliable and works with your own domain, though on the free GitHub plan the repository has to be public, it serves static files only, and it is not meant for running a business. DashPloy needs no repository, runs small server-side apps too, is fine for a business site, and your AI publishes to it.
