Open source / Document sharing & data rooms
Papermark
Open-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/.
Pricing: Self-hosting the AGPLv3 core has no license fee, though you pay for PostgreSQL, S3/Vercel Blob storage, Resend emails and Tinybird analytics pipelines. Official Papermark Cloud lists Free at €0/mo (1 user, 50 docs), Pro at €24/mo (1 user), Business at €59/mo (3 seats, +€20/extra seat) and Data Rooms Base Plus at €99/mo (3 seats, +€33/extra seat) billed annually.

Does it fit your team?
- Consider it if
- You want page-by-page pitch deck tracking, NDA gating, dynamic watermarks and custom domains as a DocSend alternative — either on Papermark Cloud (€59–€99/mo) or with engineering ops for S3 and Tinybird.
- Look elsewhere if
- You expect a zero-dependency single container: self-hosting relies on PostgreSQL, AWS S3 or Vercel Blob, Resend and Tinybird analytics pipelines, while white-label/enterprise modules live under commercial ee/.
- Can you use it commercially?
- AGPLv3 core + commercial ee/ directory
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.
- Is it still maintained?
- Active
Last push on 2026-08-28. The repository is not archived.
- How hard is it to deploy?
- 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.
- What does it cost?
- Cloud €24–€99/mo; self-hosting adds external cloud dependencies
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
- Heavy self-host stack vs affordable €59–€99/mo hosted plans
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.
