The short answer

Papermark is free for one person who sends up to 50 documents through up to 50 links. Every visitor is counted and you see time on each page. A second team member, more documents, email verification and data rooms with an NDA and a watermark need a paid plan.

Papermark is also open source, so you can host it yourself for free if you run your own servers. That is its strongest reason to exist next to the hosted free plans.

We make ArtifactSend, a free DocSend and Papermark alternative. Papermark's facts below come from its own pricing page, read on November 10, 2026.
