DocSend alternatives without per-seat pricing
DocSend charges $30 per user a month, so a team of 10 pays $3,600 a year. Papermark includes 3 members on Business and charges for each extra one, and Peony charges per admin. ArtifactSend has no seats at all. Your whole team is free, with unlimited documents and readers, and only optional AI features cost money, a few cents per use.

Rival facts from each vendor's public pricing and feature pages, November 2026, prices billed yearly. Not listed means the vendor's pages do not say. Prices change, so check theirs before you decide. All features, vendor by vendor.
Why per-seat pricing hurts
With per-seat pricing, the bill grows every time someone joins. Teams end up sharing one login, or leaving the people who send documents most out of the tool. Neither helps you see who read what.
ArtifactSend earns only when its AI works for you, not when your team grows. Invite everyone who sends decks, proposals or reports, and the price stays $0.
