After the read

What keeps working after they open it.

High risk, page 4

Ask for a 30-day notice window.

03

Risky clauses marked before anyone signs.

Mako flags each risky clause with its level and its page, so the term sheet gets read where it matters.

Questions

docshark and DocSend, straight answers.

Is docshark's read tracking as detailed?

It shows every page, the time on it, the order and every return visit, with viewer sessions and scanners kept out of the count. It is on every plan, including free.

How much does a team of 10 pay?

docshark Team is $24.65 a month billed at $295.80 yearly, or $29 monthly, flat. DocSend Standard listed $30 per user per month billed yearly or $43 monthly when we checked on 14 Sep 2026, so 10 people come to $300 or $430.

Does docshark have real data rooms?

Yes. An NDA at the door, rules per file, watermarks, questions answered inside the room with a draft from Mako, room analytics, and a link you can edit without sending a new one. One room is free.

Can investors sign inside the same link?

Yes. Add signers in order or all at once, confirm them with a code by email, and the signed file is sealed with a certificate anyone can check.

Is there a free plan, or only a trial?

A free plan. It sends 20 documents with read proof, one data room, the NDA gate, watermarks and 10 signatures a month. It never expires and needs no card.

Does it work in Arabic?

Yes. The site, the viewer, the signing pages and Mako work in Arabic, right to left.
