FOR INVESTORS

Start tracking freeThe pricing difference that matters
If you're sharing investor updates with a 5-person team, DocSend costs $2,700/year on their Standard plan[1]. ShareDoc? Free for unlimited users, unlimited documents, and all tracking features.
You get the same core functionality — see who opened your pitch deck, which slides they studied, when they forwarded it — without the enterprise pricing structure that reviewers consistently call "too expensive for what it does"[2].

Get your trackable link instantly
One unique URL tracks everything: who opened it, when they viewed it, time per page, and if they downloaded or forwarded.
See real-time investor engagement
Know which partners spent 10 minutes on your financials vs 30 seconds. See if they shared internally. Get notified of opens.
Optional: Add lead capture
Gate sensitive documents behind email capture. Perfect for new investor outreach or when sharing beyond your existing network.

Real investor update scenario
You're sending quarterly updates to 50 LPs. With DocSend, you'd need their Standard plan at minimum — that's $540/year just for basic tracking. If you want watermarking to protect sensitive financials, you're looking at $1,800/year on Advanced.
With ShareDoc, upload your update PDF, get your trackable link, and see exactly which LPs engaged. Notice Partner A spent 12 minutes reviewing your burn rate while Partner B opened but didn't scroll past page one. Follow up accordingly. Total cost: $0.
Why investors switch from DocSend
No surprise upgrade costs
DocSend's Personal plan caps at 100 visits/month. Hit that limit mid-fundraise? You're forced to upgrade immediately, adding $35/month to your bill.
Actually works for teams
Adding your investment team to DocSend? That's $45/month per person. ShareDoc includes unlimited team members at no cost.
Built for speed
No 30-second load times or upload failures. Your documents open instantly, even on mobile. Because investors don't wait.
