# Papermark Pricing (2026): Plans, Free Plan, Free Trial and Self-Hosted Costs

Updated 7 November 2026 · HelpRange

**Papermark pricing in short:** Papermark publishes flat plan prices in euros, and each plan includes a set number of users. Extra users cost more. There is a **free plan** (1 user, 50 documents, 50 links, no data rooms). Pro costs **€24/month (≈ $26)** billed yearly (€29 (≈ $32) monthly) and Business costs **€59 (≈ $65)** (€79 (≈ $87)). Data rooms start with the **Data Rooms** plan at **€99/month (≈ $109)** billed yearly (€149 (≈ $163) monthly) for 3 users. New accounts get a **7-day free trial of Data Rooms Plus** without a credit card. Papermark is open source, but data rooms sit in the commercially licensed part of the code, and the supported self-hosted edition is an Enterprise plan with a price on request.

Disclosure: HelpRange is our product and a Papermark competitor. Papermark's prices were read on papermark.com/pricing on 7 November 2026. The licence and self-hosting details come from the Papermark GitHub repository, read on the same day.

### One price per team – unlimited users and guests

## Papermark free plan and free trial

- **Free plan:** €0 with no time limit. It includes 1 user, 50 documents, 50 links and page-by-page analytics. It does not include data rooms.
- **Free trial:** 7 days of **Data Rooms Plus** with no credit card. Use the trial to test the data room features, because the free plan does not have them.

## What Papermark costs for a team

A team of five that needs data rooms can either take **Data Rooms** (3 users included) and add 2 users, or move up to **Data Rooms Plus** (5 users included). These figures use the list prices above.

| Team of 5, data rooms | Billed yearly (per month) | Billed monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Papermark Data Rooms + 2 extra users | €99 (≈ $109) + 2 × €33 (≈ $36) = **€165 (≈ $181)** | €149 (≈ $163) + 2 × €49 (≈ $54) = **€247 (≈ $271)** |
| Papermark Data Rooms Plus (5 users) | **€249 (≈ $273)** | **€349 (≈ $383)** |

## What is Papermark?

Papermark is an open-source alternative to DocSend for sharing documents with tracked links and running virtual data rooms. Papermark, Inc. started building it in 2023; the public repository was created in May 2023. Its about page says *"70,000+ companies across 100+ countries" use it (papermark.com/about, read 7 November 2026). It does the same jobs as DocSend: decks behind a link with time per page, custom domains, and data rooms with permissions and Q&A.

## Papermark open source and self-hosting: what it costs and needs

"Open source" does not mean every feature is free to host yourself. This is what the repository says (github.com/papermark/papermark, about 9,300 stars, read 7 November 2026):

- **Licence:** the code is **AGPLv3**, except the `ee/` folders. Those are under the **Papermark Commercial License**, which allows production use only with a paid Enterprise Edition subscription.
- **What is in the commercial part:** the `ee/` README names **data rooms**, Q&A conversations and advanced permissions. It also says you may not use the code to host your own version of app.papermark.com without a licence.
- **What self-hosting needs:** a Next.js app on Node.js 18.17 or later and PostgreSQL through Prisma. The repository's example configuration also expects several outside services: Vercel Blob or S3 for files, Tinybird for analytics, Resend for e-mail, Upstash QStash and Trigger.dev for background jobs, Upstash Redis, Stripe, and the Vercel API for custom domains. It is built around Vercel and these services, not shipped as a single Docker image.
- **Supported self-hosting:** it is part of Papermark Enterprise, together with SSO, white-label and dedicated support. The price is on request after a demo, and no figure is published.

In practice, self-hosting the AGPL part suits developers who only need tracked links and are happy to run the services above. For data rooms you either buy a cloud plan from €99/month (≈ $109) or ask about Enterprise.
