Papermark

What is Papermark used for?

Papermark is used to share documents through a link instead of an attachment, so you can see who opened them, how long they spent on each page and stop access later. Its data rooms bundle many files for investors, buyers or auditors.

Each link can require an email address, a password, email verification or an NDA before anything loads, and can block downloads, add a dynamic watermark or block screenshots. Analytics show every visit page by page. Data rooms add folder and file permissions, viewer groups, a Q&A module, file requests and an audit log, and an AI assistant can answer viewers' questions with cited sources. Newer features include AI redaction of personal data and an MCP server, API and command-line tool so AI agents can build and run data rooms.

How much does Papermark cost in the UK?

Papermark shows prices in euros by default, with a US dollar option. Billed monthly, Pro is €29, Business €79, Data Rooms €149 and Data Rooms Plus €349 a month; yearly billing cuts these to €24, €59, €99 and €249 a month.

The free plan allows one user, 50 links and 50 documents with page-by-page analytics and 30 days of analytics history. Pro adds custom branding, more file types, folders and 100 documents. Business includes three team members, 1,000 documents, a custom domain, email verification, screenshot protection and the API. Data Rooms adds unlimited data rooms and storage, NDAs, dynamic watermarks and file-level permissions, and Plus goes to five users with a Q&A module, audit log and dedicated account manager. Extra team members cost from €19 to €49 a month depending on plan and billing. A UK card will convert from euros, and the pricing page does not say how VAT is applied.

Is Papermark worth it?

Papermark is good value for startups and small deal teams that need tracked links or a data room without paying enterprise data room prices, and the free plan is enough to share a pitch deck.

Product Hunt reviewers rate it 4.7 from a handful of reviews, mostly people moving from DocSend to save money.

Papermark vs DocSend: which is better?

Papermark is the cheaper and more flexible choice for most founders, because it has a free plan, open-source code and data rooms from €99 a month; DocSend suits teams already paying for Dropbox, which owns it.

Both offer tracked links, page analytics and data rooms. Papermark adds self-hosting, EU hosting by default and a custom domain on Business. For large M&A deals, established data rooms such as Intralinks, Datasite and iDeals offer heavier compliance and support, and Papermark publishes its own comparisons arguing they cost far more. If you only need tracked links rather than documents, Dub is an open-source link tool in a similar spirit.

Is Papermark secure enough for confidential deals?

The maker says Papermark is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001 certified, encrypts documents at rest and in transit, and supports GDPR, HIPAA and CCPA workflows.

The hosted version stores data in Frankfurt in the EU by default, with US hosting and other regions for enterprise customers, which helps UK firms that want data kept in Europe. Because the code is published on GitHub under the AGPLv3 licence, a company can also run its own copy on its own servers. Watermarks, NDAs and audit trails are on the data room plans rather than the free plan.

How do you get Papermark cheaper?

Yearly billing is the main saving, which the maker says is up to 35%: Business drops from €79 to €59 a month and Data Rooms from €149 to €99.

• The free plan is enough for sharing a single pitch deck with analytics.
• Data Rooms has a 7-day free trial before you commit.
• Self-hosting the open-source code costs nothing in licence fees, though you pay for your own servers and setup.
• Business includes three users, so small teams avoid per-seat charges until they grow.
