TL;DR. Quick Share is the new Beamprobe Lite tier. £9/month flat. Drop one PDF, get a short trackable link like beamprobe.com/q/your-deck, see who reads each page, optionally gate behind email or NDA, generate a QR code, and replace the PDF later without breaking the link. Built for sales reps, recruiters, consultants and solo founders who don’t need full multi-document data rooms.
What it is
Quick Share is a single-link, single-PDF tracked-share workflow. It sits between Bitly (clicks only) and DocSend ($15+ per seat per month) at a £9 flat monthly price.
The use case: you have one PDF to send and you want to know whether it was read. You don’t want to set up a “data room”, a “deal” or a “project”. You want to drop a file, get a link, paste it in an email or LinkedIn message, and check the dashboard later.
What it does
-
One short URL per PDF. Format:
beamprobe.com/q/your-deck. Customisable slug on the Lite plan. - Per-page read tracking. Heartbeat every 8 seconds. Bot-filtered. Tells you which page each reader stopped on.
- Email gate (optional). Capture the reader’s email before they view.
- NDA gate (optional). Reader accepts your NDA terms before viewing. IP, timestamp and acceptance logged.
- QR code. Auto-generated PNG and SVG for the share URL. Print on a business card or event flyer.
-
Custom domain. Map
pitch.yourcompany.comto your Quick Share link. - Replace the PDF. Drop a new file. The short link stays the same. Analytics history is preserved.
- Watermarking on the viewer. Reader email + IP + timestamp stamped across each page.
-
Webhooks.

Who it is for
- Independent B2B sales consultants sending proposals
- Small B2B sales teams (2-10 reps) sending decks
- Recruiters sending candidate CVs
- Marketing agencies sending case studies
- Real estate agents sending property packs
- Insurance and wealth advisors sending policy documents
- Solo founders sending a fundraising deck
If you need a full multi-document data room with team seats and audit log export, use Beamprobe Pro instead. Quick Share is the single-PDF entry point.
Why we built it
A lot of Beamprobe Free users have one PDF, not a room. They wanted “send this deck and tell me who read it” without the overhead of “create room → upload documents → invite recipients”. So we built a 5-second drop-the-PDF flow and put it on a £9 plan.
The other trigger: DocSend’s £15/seat/month pricing eats small sales teams alive. A 4-person team pays £60/month for what is essentially short links with page-level tracking. Beamprobe Lite delivers the same job for £9 with no per-seat fee, plus UK/EU data residency by default and an NDA gate Bitly doesn’t ship.
What’s not in Quick Share
We deliberately stripped out everything that doesn’t apply to single-PDF use:
- No multi-document grouping (that’s Pro)
- No team seats (that’s Business)
- No audit log export (that’s Pro)
- No eSignature (that’s Pro)
- No analytics retention beyond 30 days (Pro is 90, Business is 365)
- No watermarking on the downloaded PDF (only the viewer pages)
If you outgrow any of those constraints, you upgrade to Pro at £29/month.

What’s next
We’re shipping fast. The Quick Share roadmap from here:
- Native Slack notifications when a key reader opens a link (currently via webhooks + Zapier)
- Reader-by-reader heatmap showing which sentence got attention, not just which page
- Bulk import: drop 10 PDFs, get 10 short links in one shot
- Team mode at £19/month for 5 seats (currently in the Pro plan if you need multi-user access)
