About
DocBeacon is a document sharing and tracking application that generates secure links for uploaded PDFs and other supported files, then records reader activity after a document is sent. It reports views, reading time, repeat visits, page-level analytics, and contact-level engagement so teams can review how recipients interact with shared documents.
The product includes access controls such as passwords, expiration dates, download restrictions, and viewer-specific watermarks. The pricing page lists a free plan with 1 seat, up to 10 contacts, PDF support, up to 20 documents, 10 MB maximum file size, up to 2 shares per document, 7-day link expiration, basic document analytics, and email support.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped, perpetual plan with no credit card required, so it has real ongoing value rather than a short trial. Compared with the $25/month Pro plan, it gives a small but usable slice of the core experience—single-seat access, limited contacts/documents, basic analytics, and email support—so it lands at about 12% of Pro, or roughly $3/month.
