What's the difference between Pitch and ShareDoc for account executives?

Pitch is a presentation creation tool that helps you design slide decks. ShareDoc is a PDF tracking tool that tells you who's viewing your sales documents, when they view them, and which pages they focus on. Account executives typically need tracking more than design tools.

How much does Pitch cost vs ShareDoc for sales teams?

Pitch charges $19-25 per user per month for team plans. A 5-person sales team would pay $950-1,250 annually. ShareDoc is free for all tracking features, with a $29/month Pro plan (total, not per user) for higher volume needs.

Can ShareDoc replace Pitch for account executives?

No, they serve different purposes. Pitch creates presentations while ShareDoc tracks engagement on existing PDFs. Most account executives use their existing sales materials with ShareDoc's tracking rather than creating new presentations in Pitch.

COMPARISON FOR SALES TEAMS

Pitch vs ShareDoc for Account Executives

Pitch helps you create beautiful presentations. ShareDoc tells you exactly who's reading your sales documents and captures their contact info. Two different tools for two different moments in your sales process.

A Tuesday Morning Reality Check

It's 9:47 AM on a Tuesday. You just finished a great discovery call with a prospect who asked for your pricing deck. You could spend the next hour in Pitch, tweaking slide animations and adjusting fonts. Or you could upload your existing PDF to ShareDoc in 30 seconds and know exactly when they open it, which pages they spend time on, and who else on their team is looking at it.

This is the reality for most account executives: you don't need another presentation tool. You need to know what happens after you hit send. Pitch charges $19-25/month per seat^[3] for team plans to help you build presentations. ShareDoc is free for everything you need — instant tracking, lead capture, and real engagement data on the documents you're already sending.

The Account Executive's Workflow

Before the Call: Building vs. Tracking

You've got your pitch deck ready — whether you built it in Pitch, PowerPoint, or Google Slides. The real question is: what happens when you send it? Pitch stops there. ShareDoc starts there, giving you a trackable link that tells you who's viewing, when, and for how long.

During the Follow-Up: Blind vs. Informed

Three days after sending your proposal, do you follow up blind or with insight? With Pitch, you're guessing. With ShareDoc, you know they spent 12 minutes on your pricing page yesterday at 4:32 PM, and their CFO just opened it this morning.

Closing the Deal: Features vs. Intelligence

Pitch users complain about limited analytics and sharing tools^[11] being locked behind paid tiers. ShareDoc gives every account executive full tracking and lead capture free — because knowing who's engaging with your content shouldn't be a premium feature.

Real Talk: What Actually Happens in Sales

Let's follow Sarah, an account executive at a SaaS company. She just wrapped up a demo with a Fortune 500 prospect. They loved the product but need to "run it by the team." Sarah has two options:

Option A: Spend 45 minutes in Pitch perfecting transitions between slides, adjusting the font spacing, maybe adding some animations. Send it via email. Hope for the best. Follow up in a week asking, "Did you get a chance to review?"

Option B: Upload her existing PDF proposal to ShareDoc in 30 seconds. Get a notification the moment it's opened. See that the prospect spent 8 minutes on page 1, jumped to pricing on page 7, then went back to the ROI calculations on page 4. Notice a new viewer from their procurement team. Call at the perfect moment: "Hey John, I saw you and your team were reviewing the ROI section — any questions I can help clarify?"

Which account executive closes more deals? The one building prettier decks or the one who knows exactly when and how to follow up?

Let's Talk Money (Because AEs Always Do)

Here's what doesn't make sense: Pitch's Team plan costs $19/seat/month annually^[3], and their Business plan jumps to $25/seat/month. For a 5-person sales team, that's $950-1,250 per year. For what? To make presentations you probably already have?

ShareDoc gives you everything free — unlimited tracking, lead capture, engagement analytics. Need to track more than 100 documents a month? Pro is $29/month total. Not per seat. Total. That's less than what Pitch charges for a single user.

But here's the real kicker: most account executives already have their presentations. They're sitting in Google Drive, Dropbox, or that shared folder your marketing team updates quarterly. You don't need to recreate them. You need to know who's looking at them.

What Pitch Users Wish They Had

Reading through recent Pitch reviews^[11], a pattern emerges. Users love the design capabilities but struggle with:

Limited analytics: "Can't see who's viewing or how long they spend"
Restricted sharing: "Advanced sharing locked behind paid tiers"
No lead capture: "Have to ask for contact info separately"
Performance issues: "Large presentations load slowly"

These aren't bugs — they're features Pitch wasn't built for. It's a presentation creation tool, not a sales intelligence platform. That's why smart account executives use both: Pitch (or PowerPoint, or Canva) to create, ShareDoc to track and convert.

Wednesday Morning: The Follow-Up Game

It's the morning after you sent that proposal. Your sales manager asks for an update. Here's how that conversation goes:

Without tracking: "I sent it yesterday afternoon. Haven't heard back yet. I'll follow up Friday if I don't hear anything."

With ShareDoc: "They opened it at 5:47 PM yesterday, spent 14 minutes total. Most time on our integration options and pricing. Someone from their IT department viewed it this morning. I'm calling in an hour to address any technical questions."

One account executive is hoping. The other is selling. Which one are you?
