You sent that proposal 3 days ago. They opened it 20 minutes later. Read it for 6 minutes. Came back twice and re-read the pricing page. You just didn't know.
How It Works
Three steps. Under 30 seconds. No technical setup required.
1. Upload Your PDF
Proposals, contracts, pitch decks, case studies — any PDF up to 20MB.
2. Share a Tracked Link
Create a unique link for each recipient. Copy it or email it directly from DocPulse.
3. See Everything
Opens, pages read, time spent, location, return visits — streaming to you in real time.

Start Free, Upgrade LaterFrequently Asked Questions
Is it really $5/month?
Yes. $5/month flat. No per-user pricing, no per-document fees, no hidden charges. Cancel anytime.
How does the tracking work?
When you share a tracked link, the recipient views the document on our hosted page. We track page views, time on page, and return visits — the same way any website tracks visitors. No tracking pixels or email hacks.
Will the recipient know they're being tracked?
The viewing experience looks like a professional document viewer. There are no visible tracking indicators. It looks and feels like opening a shared PDF.
Can I use it for things other than proposals?
Absolutely. Contracts, pitch decks, case studies, media kits, reports — any PDF you want to track.
Can I password-protect a document?
Yes. You can require a password, an email address, or both before anyone can view your document. Each tracked link has its own access settings.
Can I add my own logo and branding?
Yes. Upload your logo, set your brand color, and add your company name. Your viewers see a professional, branded experience — included on every plan.
Can I see where my viewers are located?
Yes. DocPulse shows the city and country of every viewer based on their IP address. You'll see geographic data in your activity feed and analytics dashboard.
Can I set links to expire?
Yes. Set an expiration date on any link. After that date, the viewer sees a friendly "this link has expired" page. Great for time-sensitive proposals and NDAs.
What file types are supported?
PDF files up to 20MB. We render them using a high-quality viewer that works on any device.
How is this different from DocSend?
DocSend charges $10+/user/month and is built for large sales teams. DocPulse is $5/month flat and built for freelancers, consultants, and solo operators who just need to know if their proposal was read.
