Which product fits your team?

Choose HummingDeck for signal without overhead

A strong fit for small and mid-market teams that already create content elsewhere and want per-page document analytics, full MAPs, buyer discussions, and verified email or domain allowlists on a transparent $25/user Pro plan.

Choose Aligned for a broader workspace platform

A strong fit when AI room creation, reusable room templates, buyer file exchange, secured tabs, a large integration catalog, or enterprise CRM and identity controls are central to the rollout.

Where Aligned wins

Aligned covers more of the revenue-workspace stack. It offers room templates, buyer file exchange, comments and branding across its plans, then adds AI creation tools and secured tabs on Pro. Enterprise adds bidirectional Salesforce and HubSpot sync, seller-private internal comments, SSO, and a custom domain.

Where HummingDeck wins

  • Detailed document signal starts on Starter: time on each page, completion, revisits, and room-level engagement in one workflow.
  • Pro combines full mutual action plans with contextual buyer discussions and exact email or domain allowlists with inbox verification for $25 per user per month.
  • HummingDeck publicly documents proactive filtering for email-security scanner traffic, so automated previews are less likely to become false buyer signals.
  • The product stays focused when your team already creates content elsewhere and needs a shared workspace for coordination, controlled sharing, and engagement data.
  • Every public HummingDeck tier has a listed price. Business remains $40 per user per month for unlimited rooms and documents, custom domains, and brand removal.

Frequently asked questions

Is HummingDeck a direct replacement for Aligned?
It can replace Aligned when the core workflow is sharing deal content, coordinating next steps, discussing assets and tasks, controlling access, and reading engagement signals. Aligned is the stronger fit when AI room creation, buyer file exchange, secured tabs, enterprise CRM sync, SSO, or seller-private internal comments are required.
Do buyers need an account for either product?
Buyers can access both products without creating an account. HummingDeck open links have no gate, while Restricted links verify the recipient's inbox without creating an account. Aligned documents login-free buyer access with several sharing permission levels.
Which product has better document analytics?
HummingDeck is the clearer choice when page-level document behavior matters. Starter and higher plans show time per page, completion, and revisits. Aligned documents room, visitor, timeline, and engagement analysis, but its public plan page does not list page-level document dwell analytics.
How does pricing compare for five users?
HummingDeck Pro costs $125 per month. Aligned Basic costs $175 monthly or $145 per month on annual billing. Aligned Pro costs $300 monthly or $245 per month on annual billing. Aligned's free plan allows four active rooms per seat, while HummingDeck Free allows one room with three documents.
Does HummingDeck have full mutual action plans?
Yes. HummingDeck MAPs support phases, seller and buyer owners, seller-only tasks, subtasks, dependencies, dates, templates, reminders, dashboards, and calendar export or sync. Buyers can complete eligible visible tasks assigned to their email without an account.
How do discussions and internal comments compare?
HummingDeck Pro and Business support buyer-facing discussions at room level and on visible tasks, documents, links, embeds, and sections. HummingDeck does not offer seller-private internal comments. Aligned lists buyer comments on every plan and private internal comments on Enterprise.
How do CRM integrations compare?
HummingDeck integrates with Close CRM on Pro and Business, and HubSpot is coming soon. Aligned lists Close on Pro and Enterprise, while bidirectional Salesforce and HubSpot sync are Enterprise features.
Which teams should choose Aligned?
Choose Aligned when the room must also provide AI-assisted creation, reusable room templates, buyer file exchange, secured tabs, a broad integration catalog, or enterprise controls such as bidirectional CRM sync and SSO. Test the exact tier because these capabilities are split across Pro and Enterprise.
