Why it is free

We believe software features should be free, or close to free. With AI, building a feature costs little and running it costs less, so charging per seat or per feature no longer matches what software costs to make. What does cost money is AI doing work for you. So that is the only thing we charge for, a few cents at a time, and we earn when AI helps you, not when your team grows.

Questions

What is ArtifactSend?

ArtifactSend turns a PDF, a Word, PowerPoint or Excel file, a Claude artifact, or any HTML or Markdown file, into a link you can share. You see who opened it, how long they read each page or section, where they clicked and what they copied. Many documents can go into one data room.

Is ArtifactSend really free? What are the limits?

Yes, it is truly free. There are no limits on documents, links, readers or team members, analytics are kept until you delete the link, and there is no card and no trial. Every reader door, email verification, allow lists, data rooms with NDA and watermark, screenshot protection, Slack and webhooks and website tracking are free. AI features cost cents from prepaid credits: $0.05 a reader answer, $0.005 per Claude or ChatGPT action, and the first 20 actions are free. Your own brand is $2 a month.

How is the free plan different from Papermark, Peony or DocSend?

DocSend has no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Papermark, Peony and PDFTrackr have free plans for one person capped at 50 documents, and Papermark and Peony keep 30 days of analytics. Pitchwise allows 10 documents and 1 active link. ArtifactSend has none of these limits, and puts email verification and data rooms on the free plan, where the others charge for them. Read from each pricing page, November 2026.

How is it different from DocSend?

DocSend tracks PDFs and slides and starts at $30 per user a month. ArtifactSend tracks PDFs, Office files and live, interactive artifacts, has free data rooms, is free to share, and lets you ask Claude or ChatGPT about your readers.

How do I share a Claude artifact?

Share the artifact in Claude (anyone with the link), then paste that link here. You get a link that shows who opened it, and the artifact opens on claude.ai. For time per section, clicks and replays, copy or download the artifact in Claude and paste or drop it here instead. Or connect ArtifactSend to Claude or ChatGPT and say "send this with ArtifactSend".

Can I make readers confirm their email?

Yes. Choose email, a 6-digit email code, or Google sign-in. You can also allow only some emails or company domains.

Who makes ArtifactSend?

Vela Partners, a venture capital firm that builds AI products for investors and founders.
