PapermarkCompareOpen-source document sharing and virtual data room platform with page-by-page viewer analytics and custom domains, built as a DocSend alternative under AGPLv3 + commercial ee/.Commercial useAGPL + ee/MaintainedActiveSetupHardCostCloud deps
- Commercial use
- AGPL + ee/
- The repository LICENSE sets a dual split: everything under ee/ and app/(ee) is governed by the commercial ee/LICENSE, while the remaining codebase is under AGPLv3. Running unmodified code avoids extra sharing duties, whereas modifying AGPL code served to external viewers triggers AGPL source disclosure.
- Maintained
- Active
- Last push on 2026-08-28. The repository is not archived.
- Setup
- Hard
- README lists a multi-vendor architecture rather than a standalone single container: alongside Node.js >=18.17 and PostgreSQL, self-hosting depends on AWS S3 or Vercel Blob storage, Resend for emails, and provisioning Tinybird analytics pipelines via Python pipenv and tinybird-cli.
- Cost
- Cloud deps
- Self-hosting avoids license fees on the AGPL core while still requiring paid/managed PostgreSQL, S3/Vercel Blob, Resend and Tinybird capacity. Official Papermark Cloud pricing (checked November 15, 2026; annual billing): Free €0/mo (1 user, 50 docs), Pro €24/mo (1 user, custom branding), Business €59/mo (3 seats included, +€20/extra seat, custom domain & API/webhooks), and Data Rooms Base Plus €99/mo (3 seats, +€33/extra seat, NDA gating & dynamic watermarks).
- What to watch out for
- Page-by-page viewer analytics depend on Tinybird pipelines, and full enterprise white-labeling/SSO sits inside the commercial ee/ directory. Small fundraising or sales teams looking strictly to cut DocSend bills often save more time on Papermark Cloud (€59–€99/mo) than managing four external SaaS backends themselves.
