DocSend vs Ambergate
The lightweight DocSend alternative for founders and small teams.
DocSend, now owned by Dropbox, is the category-defining document-tracking tool — mature, comprehensive, and priced for sales orgs and VC-backed companies.
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're a solo founder or small team who wants real per-page tracking, custom domain, and live Figma/Slides URLs at roughly a tenth of the price, with no view caps.
Pick DocSend if…
You're running an enterprise sales motion, need data rooms or e-signature, or your buyers expect the DocSend brand on the link.

Pricing
Ambergate
$9/mo
Free for one deck, forever. Pro is flat $9/month (or $7 annual) — no per-seat scaling, no view caps.
DocSend
$10–15/user/mo (Personal)
Standard plan jumps to $45–65/user/mo. The Personal tier caps you at 100 views/month, which can run out mid-fundraise.
What DocSend does well
- • Mature per-page analytics across 500+ G2 reviews
- • NDA gating and dynamic watermarking
- • Virtual data rooms and e-signature
- • Native Dropbox, Outlook, and Gmail integrations
- • Brand recognition with VCs (a known trust signal)
Where Ambergate fits better
- • No free tier — 14-day trial only
- • 100-view cap on the entry plan; jump to remove it is ~3-4x the price
- • PDF-centric — no live Figma or Google Slides URL embedding
- • Dropbox killed the free Send & Track feature in March 2025
Best fit for Ambergate: founders, designers, and small teams who want fast setup, flat pricing, and tracking on the decks they already have.
