Question 1

What is Peeklit and what can I track?

Accepted Answer

Peeklit is a document tracking platform that turns any PDF or URL into a trackable shared link. You get real-time open notifications, viewer insights (location, device, browser), page-level analytics, and built-in access controls (password protection, email verification, link expiration, download blocking). All included on every plan.

Question 2

Will the recipient know they're being tracked?

Accepted Answer

The viewer sees a clean, professional document viewer. A small privacy footer informs them that the sender can see when the document is viewed, with a link to our privacy policy. All analytics data is only visible to you in your private Peeklit dashboard.

Question 3

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Peeklit uses Polar as the payment provider. Subscribe to Pro monthly or yearly (17% discount). Cancel anytime. The free plan includes 1 active tracked link forever — no credit card required.

Question 4

Can I use my own branding?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Peeklit Pro subscribers can customize the document viewer with their company name, logo, and accent color for a white-label experience.

Question 5

What's the difference between a document link and a redirect link?

Accepted Answer

A document link hosts your PDF directly on Peeklit with a professional viewer and full view tracking. A redirect link sends viewers to any external URL while still tracking opens. Both link types provide real-time open notifications and appear in your unified analytics dashboard.

Question 6

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

All documents are served over HTTPS and stored encrypted at rest. You can protect any link with password protection, email verification, link expiration, and download blocking — all included on every plan. Peeklit runs on EU-hosted servers with MongoDB Atlas (EU region). We comply with GDPR and never share data with third parties.

Question 7

How is Peeklit different from DocSend?

Accepted Answer

Peeklit is a modern, lightweight alternative to DocSend focused on simplicity. DocSend requires a Dropbox account and starts at $15/user/month with seat-based pricing. Peeklit offers a generous free tier and a flat Pro plan with no per-seat fees. Access controls — password, email verification, link expiration, download blocking — are included on every plan. Setup takes under 3 minutes.

Question 8

What access controls can I add to my links?

Accepted Answer

Every Peeklit link can be protected with multiple layers: password protection, email verification with one-time codes, link expiration dates, and download blocking for PDFs. All access controls are included on every plan — even Free. You can combine multiple controls on the same link.
