Of lawyers need real-time alerts

ShareDoc gives lawyers everything they need to track proposals: page-by-page analytics, instant notifications when documents are opened, and lead capture forms — all for free. Our Pro plan at $29/month matches what you'd pay for Papermark's basic tracking[1], but without the restrictions.

Papermark forces solo lawyers to choose between limited free features or €29/month Pro pricing. For firms needing multiple users, the jump to €59/month catches many off guard — with no middle ground for small practices.

How ShareDoc works for legal proposals

Upload once, track forever

Upload your proposal PDF and get a secure tracking link in seconds. Every view, download, and page turn is recorded with timestamps and location data.

Real-time client engagement

Get instant notifications when clients open your proposals. See which sections they spend time on, what they skip, and when they return for a second look.

Capture leads before viewing

Add optional email gates to collect contact information. Perfect for new client inquiries or when sharing templates with potential clients.

No branding on free plan

Unlike Papermark's free tier, ShareDoc never adds branding to your documents. Your proposals stay professional at every price point.

Why lawyers are switching from Papermark

Recent reviews highlight Papermark's pricing jumps[11] as a major pain point. The €30 gap between solo and team plans forces many lawyers to overpay or stay limited. Users report technical issues including slow PDF loading and document resizing problems that interrupt client experiences.

ShareDoc addresses these concerns directly: consistent performance across all browsers, instant PDF loading, and pricing that scales fairly. Our free tier includes all tracking features — you only pay for higher volume, not basic functionality.

Real scenario: Tracking a merger proposal

You've just sent a 47-page merger proposal to a client's board. With ShareDoc, you'll know within minutes who's reading it. The general counsel opens it at 9:15 AM, spends 12 minutes on the valuation section, then forwards it internally. The CFO jumps straight to financials at 10:30 AM, downloading the PDF for offline review.

This intelligence helps you time follow-ups perfectly. When you see the CEO hasn't opened it by day three, you can nudge your contact. When multiple board members focus on the same liability clause, you prepare clarifications before they ask. Every interaction is tracked, time-stamped, and delivered to your inbox — giving you the edge in high-stakes negotiations.
