Know who's reading your deck. Down to the second.
The moment your prospect opens the proposal, you know. Which slide is hot, which was skimmed, who forwarded it internally. Identifying who opened the link and showed interest lets you follow up perfectly.
Why teams switch
Per-seat analytics punish you for growing the team.
If you manage a sales org, you've lived all three of these — and you've probably calculated the seat bill twice this year.
You pay for 20 seats even when half the team is dormant that month.
A PDF emailed out is a black box — opened? skimmed? forwarded? deleted?
By the time you follow up a week later, the prospect has moved on.
Use Cases
Five ways sales teams actually use it
Realtime signal turns a proposal email into a live intent feed. Here's what that unlocks.
Call the second they open the deck.
Slack pings the moment your prospect opens the proposal. Their attention is peaking right now — pick up the phone instead of queuing a follow-up template for next week.
📬 Acme Corp opened your Q3 proposal · on slide 4 (Pricing) for 42s
See the real buyer appear mid-read.
When your deck gets forwarded internally, a new device fingerprint shows up on the same link. You instantly know a second stakeholder — often the actual decision-maker — just started reading, and which slides hold their attention.
+1 new viewer on the same link · different device · dwelling on slide 7 (ROI)
Catch dormant leads coming back to life.
A prospect who went silent three months ago just re-opened your deck. That's a resurrection signal — re-engage this afternoon, not after your competitor does.
🧟 Globex (dormant 94 days) just reopened your deck · on slide 2 (Use Cases)
Forecast the quarter from one dashboard.
Every rep's deal, one team view. Spot the deals where the deck is gathering dust, drop them off the forecast before QBR, and focus the team on the deals that are actually being read.
12 active deals · 3 unopened in 5 days · 2 forwarded internally this week
Clone the slides that closed the deal.
After a win, replay exactly which slides the champion lingered on and which they skipped. Turn that viewing pattern into the team playbook — then A/B it against the next cohort.
Closed-won deals dwell 2.4× longer on slide 5 (ROI) than closed-lost.
vs DocSend
The per-open math versus the per-seat math.
Both tools track deck opens. The difference is what happens when you scale the team — and what happens on a quiet month.

|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $0.10 per open — no seats | Per-seat subscription, team minimums |
| Cost on a $0-activity month | $0 | Full seat bill |
| Real-time open alerts | Yes | Yes |
| Forwarding detection (new fingerprint) | First-class — shown as a distinct viewer | Limited |
| Team-wide pipeline heatmap | Included | Higher-tier add-on |
| Spend cap + emergency stop | Built-in ($ or opens, 0 = pause) | — |
| AI deck authoring from the CLI | Included (via open-source Amaroad CLI) | — |
Comparison based on publicly listed plans as of April 2026. DocSend pricing is per-seat with team minimums; actual cost scales with headcount.
Pricing
One number. No tiers.
You only pay when a human actually opens your deck.
- Invite your whole org. Seats are free — we never bill by headcount.
- A $0-activity month costs $0. No commitments, no minimums.
- Spend cap: set a monthly ceiling in dollars or opens. Set 0 to pause on the spot — viewers still see the deck, we just stop billing.
- Bot opens, duplicate opens within 24h per viewer, and your own team's internal opens are never billed.
FAQ
Questions sales leaders actually ask.
What counts as a billable open?
A unique human view, deduplicated to 24 hours per viewer per deck. Bots, your own team, and repeat opens within 24 hours are never billed.
How does forwarding detection work?
Each viewer is fingerprinted with a privacy-respecting browser signature. When the same share link is opened by a second fingerprint, you know the deck was forwarded — and you see both viewers' dwell time per slide, separately.
Is there a free tier?
Sign-up is free and creating decks is free. You only pay $0.10 for each actual open. A month with zero opens costs zero.
Can I cap my monthly spend?
Yes. Admins can cap monthly spend in either dollars or opens, and set 0 as an emergency stop. Viewers still see the deck — billing just pauses until the next cycle.
How is this different from DocSend?
DocSend bills per seat with team minimums. Amaroad Cloud bills per open, $0.10 each. For a 20-person team sharing ~1,000 decks a month, you're typically looking at $100 here vs. $900+ there — and $0 on the quiet months.
Can the open-source Amaroad CLI feed into Cloud?
Yes. Build and polish decks locally with the MIT-licensed CLI, then publish a share link from Cloud to get tracking. One workflow, two tools.
