BriefLink vs Ambergate
The BriefLink alternative for tracked links beyond fundraising.
BriefLink, by Foundersuite (originally NFX), is a free, single-purpose fundraising link tool built around a structured "Brief" format for VCs.
Ambergate is a lightweight, hosted DocSend-style tool — email-gated links for Figma, Google Slides, PowerPoint, and PDFs, with per-page time tracking, custom domains, and a Chrome extension. Free for one deck, $9/mo for unlimited.
Pick Ambergate if…
You want per-page time tracking, viewer drill-down, custom domains, and the ability to track sales decks, design reviews, or onboarding documents — not just fundraising.
Pick BriefLink if…
You're raising your first round, you want something free, and the BriefLink format matches how your target VCs review.
