HelpRange Provides Deeper Analytics and Tracking Information versus DocSend
Heat Mapping Provides More Than Time on Page Data
With document heat mapping you not only know which page is viewed the most, you can now also see which part of the document gets the most attention. You can even see how much interest there is in a specific sentence or paragraph and make changes or decisions based on these findings. You can understand more about document engagement compared to DocSend’s basic page analytics.
Insightful Document Metrics
Get website level analytics for your documents with HelpRange. You will know who is viewing your document, understand opening dates and times and even measure how long people spend on a page which is all added up in the document engagement rating. Get in-depth tracking metrics by placing UTM codes to your links so you can track your sources.
HelpRange Provides More Control As Well As Security
Complete Control of Access
Simple and straightforward document management lets you control access, restrict PDFs to specific IP addresses, set one-viewer at a time restrictions, make document updates after you have sent it, revoke access to the link and set passwords and expiration dates for documents too. Complete and secure control of your documents.
Security and Privacy as Top Priority
We take security and privacy of your data as our top priority. HelpRange server-side encryption uses one of the strongest block ciphers available, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), to encrypt your data.
3rd Party Widget Integration
Provide your audience the chance to engage further with your document by allowing them to ask questions with live-chat. Or set triggers based on time-on-page to try and get potential customers and clients into the next stages of business. Other document sharing platforms such as DocSend do not provide this option, losing potential opportunities to engage with your document viewers. Widgets include Intercom, Drift, SurveyMonkey and any other HTML widget you find useful to you.
Embed and Customize Your PDF Viewer
Add your company logo and colorset to the HelpRange document viewer, which makes it incredibly easy to embed it directly into your site. Now documents can be viewed on your website and you can see, in real-time, how it is being engaged with. A document viewer that looks great and provides website level analytics.
