DocSend sells data rooms. SendDeck sells the follow-up.

DocSend started as the way to send a deck and see who read it. Today its homepage leads on virtual data rooms for deals, fundraising and compliance. If you send proposals, catalogues and decks to customers, you are paying for a product built around someone else's problem.

Where SendDeck pulls ahead

One price for the whole team

DocSend Standard is $45 per user per month. Ten people is $5,400 a year. SendDeck Pro covers up to ten people for £790 a year, and adding a colleague within that never changes the bill.

Alerts on your phone, not just your inbox

SendDeck texts you when a proposal is opened and posts to Slack, so you can call while they are still on the pricing slide. DocSend does not advertise SMS or a built-in Slack alert.

A summary you can read in ten seconds

AI summaries turn a week of visits into a few sentences: who read it, what held their attention, and what to raise on the call.

Photo galleries and file handovers

Send a gallery of finished work or a folder of large files on a tracked link, and see exactly which files were downloaded.

When DocSend is the better choice

It is a capable product aimed at virtual data rooms for fundraising, M&A and compliance. Pick it if:

You are running a fundraise, an acquisition or due diligence and need a full data room with folders, permissions and audit logs.
Readers must sign an NDA or verify their email before they can see anything.
Your IT team requires single sign-on, dynamic watermarking or a Salesforce integration.

When SendDeck is

You send proposals, catalogues, decks, galleries or files to win and keep customers. Pick SendDeck if:

You want to know the moment it is opened, by text, Slack or in the app.
You want a plain-English summary of who read what and what to say next.
The whole team needs access without the price climbing per person.
You send photos and large files as well as PDFs.

Switching takes one upload.

Every new workspace starts with a 14-day trial of Pro, then keeps a free-forever plan. No card needed. Your first tracked link takes about a minute.
