PaperTrack is a secure document-sharing and virtual data room platform built for teams who send sensitive documents — pitch decks, sales proposals, contracts, and due diligence files — and need to know what happens to them after they leave the outbox.
The traditional way of sharing a file, whether by email attachment or a plain link, leaves you in the dark. You send it and hope for the best, with no way of knowing whether the recipient opened it, how long they spent reading it, or which parts actually caught their attention. PaperTrack removes that uncertainty by giving you page-by-page analytics on every document you share. You can see exactly who opened your document, how much time they spent on each individual page, and even watch when someone is viewing it live. For a founder wondering which slide of their pitch deck made an investor pause, or a sales rep trying to figure out which clause of a proposal a prospect is stuck on, that visibility turns a black box into a real signal.
On the security side, every link can be locked down with multiple layers of protection: password requirements, automatic expiration dates, dynamic watermarking that embeds the viewer's identity directly into the document, and NDA-gated access that blocks viewing until the recipient agrees to the terms. These controls significantly reduce the risk of a sensitive document ending up with the wrong person or being copied without permission. For more complex workflows like M&A transactions and legal due diligence, PaperTrack also offers full virtual data rooms with folder-level permissions and complete audit logs — so you always know exactly who accessed which folder, and when they viewed or downloaded a file.
What sets PaperTrack apart from competitors like DocSend and Papermark is its pricing philosophy. Most competitors treat page-level analytics as a premium feature, stripping it out of the free tier and locking it behind a paid plan. PaperTrack takes the opposite approach: full, unrestricted page analytics are included on the free plan, not a watered-down preview of them. Paid plans are also priced flat-rate rather than per-seat, which means costs don't spiral unpredictably as a team grows — making PaperTrack a genuinely affordable option for startups, sales teams, and dealmakers working with tighter budgets.
Under the hood, PaperTrack runs on a serverless Node.js/TypeScript backend built on Azure Functions, backed by a PostgreSQL database, with a Next.js frontend. Global billing and subscription management are handled through Paddle, which takes care of the complexity of international payments, tax compliance, and currency conversion automatically.
In short, PaperTrack turns "send the file and hope for the best" into a system where you can see in real time how every document you share is actually being received — protected by strong security controls, and priced in a way that stays predictable as your team scales.
