## The short answer

Yes. ArtifactSend does what most people buy DocSend for, for free. You get a tracked link for each document or each person, an email or email code before viewing, time on each page, alerts when someone opens it, and data rooms with folders, an NDA and a watermark with each reader's email.

DocSend has no free plan. It has a 14-day trial, then plans start at $30 per user a month billed yearly. Email verification, the NDA, the watermark and folders start on its Advanced plan at $150 a month. We checked docsend.com/pricing on November 2, 2026.
