A simpler DocSend alternative for proposals and quotes
Send a proposal, quote or deck as one link that opens on any phone. On a paid plan you get an email when someone opens it. We do not show which pages were read; if you need that, DocSend is built for it.
Any supported file works. Documents: PDF · DOCX · XLSX · PPTX · EPUB · TXT · MD · ODT · ODS · ODP · ODG · OTT · OTS · OTP · OTG · ODM · ODC · ODF · ODB
How it works in three steps
Upload your proposal
Drop a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file in the box at the top of this page. Word and PowerPoint files open as a PDF, so nobody needs the program installed.
Choose who can open it
Anyone with the link can open it. On a paid plan you can add a password, or ask for an email address before the page opens.
Send the link and wait for the email
Paste the link in your email or chat. On a paid plan we email you when someone opens it. Spotted a typo? Replace the file and the link stays the same.
Who each tool is for
DocSend is for deal teams
DocSend's own pages describe page-by-page analytics for each viewer, data rooms, NDAs before reading and e-signatures. That suits fundraising and due diligence, where it matters which pages a reader looked at.
uploadthefile.com is for sending a proposal
You send a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file as a link. It opens in any browser and on any phone, with nothing to download and no account for the person reading. On a paid plan you get an email when it is opened, can ask for an email address first, and can add a password.
Pick by what you need to know
If knowing that they opened it is enough, a link and an email alert cover it. If you need to know which pages they read, choose DocSend.
uploadthefile.com vs DocSend
When DocSend is the better choice
You need to know which pages of a document were read. DocSend's analytics page describes page-by-page analytics for each viewer. We only count visitors and views per day.
You need data rooms, an NDA before reading, e-signatures or admin controls for a large team. DocSend's pricing page lists all of these. We offer none of them.
DocSend alternative FAQ
Is uploadthefile.com free?
Yes. You can upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file for free and share it as a link, and daily visitor counts are on every plan. The email alert, asking for an email address and passwords come with the paid plans. See the pricing page for current prices.
Can I see which pages my client read?
No. We count visitors and views per day, not per page of your document. DocSend offers page-by-page analytics, so choose it if that is what you need.
Will I know when my client opens my proposal?
On a paid plan, yes. We email you when someone opens your page after a day without visits, and when someone enters their email at the gate. We limit how many alerts we send so your inbox does not fill up, and you can turn them off. The alert says it was opened, not which pages were read.
Does my client need an account or an app?
No. PDF, Word and PowerPoint files open in any browser, on a computer or a phone, with nothing to download. Word and PowerPoint files are shown as a PDF.
How does the price compare?
DocSend's pricing page lists Standard at $30 per user per month. Here, Pro costs $7 a month when paid yearly, for one person, and Business is for teams with 3 seats. The two do different jobs, so compare what you need before comparing prices.
