    What is DocSend?

    DocSend, owned by Dropbox, is a document-sharing and analytics tool built for enterprise sales and fundraising teams. You upload a PDF, share a link, and get view analytics — the same core workflow SendDeck offers.

    DocSend and SendDeck target the same job — trackable document links with per-page analytics — so the real comparison is price, feature gating, and how modern the product feels.

    Why teams switch

    What SendDeck does differently

    1
    Step 1

    Priced for actual teams

    DocSend Standard starts at $45/user/month and pushes custom domains and advanced analytics to $150/user. SendDeck Pro is roughly €17/month (189 SEK) — flat, not per-seat — with the analytics included.

    2
    Step 2

    Analytics you'll act on

    Time-on-slide, drop-off, revisits, and per-recipient timelines — surfaced the moment a viewer opens the deck so follow-up happens while attention is still fresh.

    3
    Step 3

    AI-native from day one

    SendDeck exposes a first-class MCP so tools like Claude and ChatGPT can create links, pull analytics, and set passwords on your behalf. DocSend has no equivalent.

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know about switching from DocSend to SendDeck.

    Is SendDeck really a DocSend alternative?
    Yes. If you use DocSend to send a PDF, share a link, and see who viewed which page, SendDeck covers the same workflow — with the viewer location map, custom link names, and password protection included on Pro at a fraction of DocSend Advanced pricing.
    What does SendDeck cost compared to DocSend?
    DocSend's cheapest plan is $15/mo (Personal, 1 user), Standard is $45/user/mo, and Advanced is $150/user/mo. SendDeck Pro is roughly €17/month (189 SEK) with unlimited uploads and no per-seat pricing on small teams. There's also a free forever plan with 3 decks/month.
    Can I import my existing decks?
    Yes. SendDeck ingests any PDF, so you can keep working in Keynote, PowerPoint or Google Slides and just export to PDF. No re-authoring needed to leave DocSend.
    Does SendDeck support password-protected links?
    Yes, on the Pro plan. You can set a password per link, expire the link on a schedule, or restrict it to specific email addresses.
    Is there a free plan?
    Yes — 3 decks per month, unlimited views, per-slide analytics and password protection included. Upgrade to Pro only when you need unlimited uploads, custom link names or the viewer location map.
    What about data residency and GDPR?
    SendDeck is GDPR-compliant and EU-hosted. DocSend is a Dropbox product with US-based infrastructure — if EU data residency matters to your buyers, that alone is often the reason teams switch.
