How it works

From zip file to live experiment
in under a minute

No servers to provision, no Docker files to write. Just your oTree project and a browser.

1

Upload your project

Zip your oTree project and upload it via the dashboard or our REST API. Any valid oTree 5 project works.

2

We deploy it for you

TreeHost provisions a fully isolated environment — oTree, Postgres, Redis, and HTTPS — dedicated to your experiment.

3

Share with participants

Share your unique URL with participants. Run your session. When you're done, tear down with one click.

Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Built specifically for oTree. No generic cloud complexity.

Isolated environments

Every researcher gets a dedicated Kubernetes namespace. Your data never touches another experiment.

HTTPS out of the box

Every workspace is served over HTTPS at you.treehost.io. No certificate management.

Postgres + Redis included

oTree's full stack — application server, relational database, and session cache — provisioned automatically.

Deploy & teardown

Upload a zip, get a live URL. When your study is over, delete the workspace — all resources and data removed instantly.

Prolific integration

Connects your oTree project to Prolific automatically — no URL copying, code changes, or redeployment. Create studies, monitor completions, and pay bonuses from your dashboard.

MobLab integration Coming soon

Recruit participants directly from MobLab's network of verified research subjects.

"The bottleneck in behavioural research isn't the experiment design — it's getting the software running on a server that participants can actually reach."

— A researcher who asked not to be named, but definitely exists
