One link. Other tools need three.

One link does the whole job.

Lock it before you send, collect the signature in place, and let anyone verify the seal. Same link, start to finish.

Lock the link before it leaves.

Password, expiry, allowed domains, and instant revoke. An open from outside your allowlist bounces, and one click kills the link.

Sign on the file they already opened.

Split send-and-sign tools move the PDF and drop the read session. Docshark keeps both on one link.

  • Routing and identity on the same envelope
  • Signers open in the browser, no account

Reads from before the ink stay on this same envelope.

Anyone can verify the finished file.

Recipients, counsel, and third parties confirm the seal without logging into Docshark.

  • Public verify checks PAdES and hash
  • Audit export on every plan
  • Read history stays with the signed file

The old way

You send the PDF. Then you guess.

Sending a PDF and hoping is not a workflow.

The difference

Tracking or signing? You shouldn't have to choose.

Trackers stop at the open. Sign tools lose the read in the handoff. Docshark does both on one link.

The handoff

Signs, but loses the read

Tracking tool: opened
read history lost here
Signing tool: re-upload

Sign in another tool. The read history stays behind.

Track-only

Tracks, but can't sign

Where it fits

Made for the documents that get you paid.

Proposals, engagement letters, offers, and contracts, where a silent inbox or a lost handoff costs real money.

Proposals and SOWs

See which pricing page held their attention before you ask for the yes. For agencies and consultants.

Engagement letters

Send the yearly letter, prove they read the terms, sign on one link. For accountants and bookkeepers.

Offer letters

Know the candidate opened the offer, then collect the signature and seal it. For recruiters and HR.

Contracts and NDAs

Gate access, log every page, then collect ink without a second upload.

Why people switch

Five reasons Docshark wins the send.

Page-level read proof on the free plan, not behind a paywall.

The signature happens on the same link as the read.

Every signed file is sealed and verifiable by anyone, no login.

You hold the keys: password, expiry, allowed domains, instant revoke.

Free to start, no credit card, in English and Arabic.

Still comparing?

Straight answers.

Every workflow question, plain language. No sales call required.

Can I track page reads and collect signatures without two tools?

Yes. Docshark keeps send, page-level read proof, routing, and signatures on one envelope. The read history stays on the file they already opened.

Is page-level analytics really included on the free plan?

Yes. Opens, page dwell time, and viewer sessions are on every plan, including free. Plan limits apply to volume, not to hiding analytics behind a paywall.

Do recipients need a Docshark account?

No. Viewers and signers open your link in the browser. You control access with password, expiry, allowlists, and revoke.

How is this different from a track-only PDF link?

Track-only tools stop at opens and page time. Docshark adds signature fields to the same file, seals the result, and gives you a public verify path for the finished certificate.

Can anyone verify a signed document without logging in?

Yes. The public verify flow checks the PAdES seal and document hash. Senders, recipients, and third parties can confirm the file was not altered after signing.

Is a free electronic signature legal?

In the US (ESIGN and UETA) and the EU (eIDAS), what makes a signature valid is intent, consent, and a clear audit trail, not whether you paid for the tool. Docshark records that trail and seals each completed document with a verifiable certificate. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can I trust a new tool with my documents?

You stay in control of every link: set a password, an expiry, and allowed domains, watermark the view, see blocked attempts, and revoke access in one click. Every finished document is sealed and checkable on a public verify page. We are early and honest about it, with a real product and no fake reviews.
