HelpRange Provides Deeper Analytics and Tracking Information versus Papermark
Heat Mapping Provides More Than Page-Level Data
While Papermark offers basic view tracking, HelpRange gives you granular engagement data. See which paragraphs attract attention, analyze reader flow, and optimize your content based on real interactions.
Insightful Document Metrics
HelpRange gives you real-time analytics with engagement scores, UTM tracking, and granular access data. Papermark focuses on simplicity, but lacks advanced engagement intelligence out of the box.
HelpRange Offers Stronger Control & Protection
Complete Control of Access
HelpRange offers IP restrictions, viewer limits, link revocation, password protection, and expiration controls. Papermark, as an open-source alternative, gives basic control but lacks these advanced guardrails by default.
Security and Privacy as Top Priority
We take security and privacy of your data seriously. HelpRange server-side encryption uses AES-256, ensuring data stays secure. Unlike Papermark, you don’t need to self-manage hosting or compliance.
„Our Sales Team is incredibly excited about HelpRange. We share securely our initial PDF offers and other marketing materials with HelpRange VDR and it provides so much value by showing in-depth insights about clients’ behaviors. It gives a lot of information how to qualify a given lead and anticipate the sales potential of a given prospect.”
