ArtifactSend is free with no limits on decks, investors or team members, names each reader with a verified email, and shows time on every slide. BriefLink is free for a single deck, and Papermark, Peony and PDFTrackr have free plans capped at 50 documents. DocSend has no free plan.

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.
What to look for in a deck tracker
- The investor's name, not only a view count. Ask for a verified email so a forwarded link still shows who read it.
- Time on each slide, so you know whether they reached the team, the market or the ask.
- Return visits. An investor who comes back days later is the strongest signal you get.
- A link per investor, so each report reads like a conversation.
- Downloads off and a watermark with the reader's email, so the deck does not travel without you knowing.
