No. To reduce the possibility of runaway costs, ArcGIS Location Platform does not allow hosted data services to be shared publicly (with everyone).
With ArcGIS Location Platform, all services must be authenticated. To share private data with the public, use an API key to authenticate the service. See API key authentication in the Security and authentication guide.
You can view the status of ArcGIS location services on status.location.arcgis.com.
Geocoding has different associated costs depending on whether or not you store the results. If you discard geocode results immediately after viewing them on the map or using them in your app, they are not considered stored results.
However, if you store the results, for example, persist the data in a database, file, or any other way, these operations are considered stored, as described in the Terms of Use.
See the Pricing page for more details and to estimate costs.
The GeoEnrichment service finds demographic information and other location facts for places around the world. It is billed at $1 per 1,000 returned attributes — metering is based on the number of attributes returned in the query response.
The number of returned attributes is driven by the variables you request (data) across the areas you analyze (study). For the available variables, see the data collection finder.

Hosting cost comes from two billed dimensions: storage and bandwidth. The total depends on your schema, number of records, attachments, whether you publish tiles, and how often your app queries or edits data.
Each subscription includes a free tier — 250 MB feature service storage and 250 MB tile, file, and attachment storage (applied daily) — and you pay only for usage above it. Storage is sampled hourly and averaged across the day.
For example, if you store 500 MB of feature service data for the entire day, the 24 hourly samples should add up to the same cost as 1 day of storage based on the number of days in the current month. For July, this is (500 MB stored - 250 MB free tier) * (0.0044 cost per MB / 31 days in month) = $0.03548. At $0.03548 per day added up over 31 days is $1.10.
Bandwidth is metered by bytes served for:
Uploading data is free; publishing hosted feature or tile services from it incurs bandwidth or tile-generation usage.
See the pricing page for rates and an estimator, and How to work with data services and the data hosting FAQ for details.
