Different tools for different jobs

Papermark is heading toward being a full data room platform — multi-document workspaces, NDA collection, investor portals. That's great if you need a data room for due diligence or complex deal management.

ShareDoc is built for a different (and much more common) use case: you have a PDF, you want to share it, and you want to know who reads it. That's it. No workspace setup, no team onboarding, no learning curve. Upload, share, track.

Most people don't need a data room. They need a smarter way to share a single document. If that's you, ShareDoc will feel like a breath of fresh air compared to Papermark's enterprise complexity.

What ShareDoc does that Papermark doesn't

In-app email sending

Send your tracked PDF directly to recipients from inside ShareDoc. No need to copy a link and open your email client.

Engagement labels

ShareDoc automatically labels viewers as "Engaged," "Skimmed," or "Bounced" based on their reading behavior. No manual tagging needed.

No account required

Upload and share your first PDF without creating an account. Papermark requires sign-up before you can do anything.

Simpler pricing

Free or $29/mo. That's it. Papermark's paid plan starts at $59/mo with usage-based add-ons that make the final cost unpredictable.
