Why people switch

Your documents are artifacts now

Decks, memos and proposals come out of Claude as HTML with live charts. A PDF export throws that away. ArtifactSend keeps it.

The analytics are deeper

Time per section, clicks, copied text and a replay of each visit. DocSend stops at time per page.

No per-seat price

DocSend charges per user. ArtifactSend is free, and later AI features are pay per use.

Your AI can read the numbers

Connect the MCP and ask Claude who read what, or have it send a digest every Monday.

Questions
