Use HummingDeck when your team creates content elsewhere and needs a focused buyer Room, mutual action plan, contextual Discussions, and detailed document signals. Keep Dock when content management, learning, AI, CRM integrations, and signable order forms should stay in one platform.
Start with one document or one live deal. No five-seat paid package required.

Choose by the operating job
Both products offer customer-facing Rooms and mutual action plans. They separate on document-signal depth, platform breadth, paid packaging, integrations, and enterprise administration.
HummingDeck is the focused option.
Share PDFs, presentations, documents, spreadsheets, or HTML, then use per-page recorded time, completion, engagement flow, supported clicks, return visits, and approximate geography on Starter and above.
Both products can fit.
Compare content, mutual action plans, buyer participation, discussion, access, analytics, templates, and the work required to maintain the Room.
Dock may fit better.
Choose Dock when workspaces should share a platform with content management, learning, AI, Salesforce or HubSpot, quotes, signable order forms, and e-signature.
Document analytics
HummingDeck starts with finished content. Share one document directly or place several documents, tracked URLs, and supported embeds inside a buyer Room.
Starter, Pro, and Business include per-page recorded time, completion, engagement flow, supported click tracking, return visits, and approximate IP-derived geography.
A personalized link associates activity with its intended recipient. Email verification proves access to an inbox, not legal identity. An additional viewer can reflect forwarding, another device, or another stakeholder, but it does not prove who viewed or shared the content.
HummingDeck uses user-agent, hosting-network, and interaction signals to flag known or likely automated activity. This reduces recognized scanner noise but cannot prove every remaining view came from a person.
4 unique viewers detected on a single personal link
Illustrative engagement view. Signals support follow-up; they do not establish identity or intent on their own.
Dock documents workspace views, link clicks, PDF downloads, action-plan activity, and email notifications. Its sales page marks PDF time spent, time per page, and the PDF drop-off report as coming soon. Standard and above connect engagement activity to Salesforce and HubSpot. The public pages reviewed do not document email-security scanner filtering; that absence is not proof the capability is unavailable.
Digital sales rooms
HummingDeck Rooms hold documents, spreadsheets, tracked URLs, supported embeds, sections, and custom tabs. Recipients do not need HummingDeck accounts.
Use phases, buyer and seller owners, private seller tasks, subtasks, dependencies, dates, templates, reminders, and calendar workflows. Identified buyers can complete only their own visible assigned tasks.
Pro and Business include asynchronous Discussions for the Room and for buyer-visible tasks, documents, tracked URLs, embeds, and sections. Each recipient link has its own audience and conversation.
Use separate Open, Ask Email, Verify Email, or Restricted links on the plans that support them. Download controls, expiration, revocation, and document replacement manage future access but cannot prevent screenshots or copying.
Illustrative HummingDeck mutual action plan. Buyers can complete only visible tasks assigned to them.
Dock combines sales rooms and mutual action plans with onboarding portals, content management, learning playbooks, courses, AI, and signable order forms. Standard includes Salesforce and HubSpot. Premium adds file synchronization, unlimited learning, CRM-connected order forms, custom fields, webhooks, and branding removal. Enterprise adds API access, automations, custom domains and emails, broader SSO, SCIM, and managed implementation.
Public pricing
Dock Free is a credible pilot with ten total workspaces. The main price difference appears when a small team needs unlimited workspaces or Salesforce and HubSpot. The paired tiers below are not presented as feature-equivalent.
Dock Free offers a broader pilot. The sharper comparison starts after Free: HummingDeck Starter is $10 per month for one user, while Dock Standard is $350 per month for five internal users and a wider platform.

Dock says external prospects, customers, and partners receive free access. HummingDeck recipients do not need paid accounts, but Room and recipient-link limits depend on the sender's plan. Confirm current prices, billing, limits, and negotiated scope before buying.
One-person paid workflow
HummingDeck Starter is the focused paid step at $10 per month. Dock Standard is a five-user platform package with unlimited workspaces, CRM integrations, content management, order forms, and support.
Working Room team
HummingDeck Pro focuses on Rooms, Discussions, controlled access, stakeholder views, and page-level signals. Dock Premium expands the content, learning, order-form, integration, and AI operating layer.
Brand and administration
HummingDeck publishes its Business price and includes a full custom domain. Dock combines custom domains with broader SSO, SCIM, API access, automations, and managed implementation behind an Enterprise quote.
Public USD list prices reviewed August 5, 2026. Taxes, billing terms, negotiated discounts, implementation, AI allowances, and Enterprise scope can change the total.
Choose focus or consolidation
HummingDeck is narrower when the team wants a focused Room around content it creates elsewhere. Dock is broader when one system should continue from sales through onboarding, enablement, and customer work.
HummingDeck
Focused tracking and buyer coordination can run beside the tools you already use.
Dock
The customer workspace should carry a broader revenue-enablement system.
HummingDeck is not a content management system, learning management system, proposal editor, CPQ platform, contract platform, or legally binding e-signature product. It does not publish a SOC 2 certification or provide SSO, SCIM, native Salesforce, or native HubSpot integration. Decision Capture on Pro and Business records workflow responses, not electronic signatures or contract acceptance.
Practical migration test
Test the operating job and the buyer experience before replacing the wider platform.
HummingDeck does not provide an automatic Dock importer. Rebuild the Room from source files, links, embeds, and mutual-action-plan steps, then keep Dock available until buyer access, analytics, and signed records have been checked.
Choose one active opportunity with a real buyer and a protected corporate inbox.
Rebuild the same Room with the same proposal, proof, security material, rollout content, and mutual plan.
Create equivalent audience links and ask the buyer to open them on desktop and mobile, ask a question, and complete one task.
Compare page and workspace signals, automated events, CRM handoff, follow-up effort, and what the buyer must learn.
Test every Dock capability you plan to replace, including content management, learning, order forms, e-signature, AI, and integrations.
Price the exact users, tier, billing term, support, implementation, and add-ons used in the test.
Questions before the test
For a paid one-person or five-person Room workflow, HummingDeck has the lower public entry. Starter is $10 per month for one user. Five Pro users cost $125 per month. Dock Standard costs $350 per month and includes five internal users plus a broader platform.
Dock Free is the broader platform pilot with ten total workspaces. HummingDeck Free is the smaller focused test with one Room, one mutual action plan, three documents in the Room, and basic current view tracking. Choose based on the paid workflow you expect to need.
HummingDeck Starter and above provide per-page recorded time, completion, engagement flow, supported clicks, return visits, and approximate geography. Dock publicly documents workspace views, clicks, downloads, action-plan activity, and CRM-connected signals, while marking PDF time per page and the PDF drop-off report as coming soon.
Keep Dock or another commercial-document platform when quotes, approval rules, signable order forms, and legally binding e-signature must stay in the workflow. HummingDeck starts from finished content and does not create proposals, order forms, contracts, or electronic signatures.
Close CRM, Slack, Google Workspace, and Zapier are the current HummingDeck paths. HubSpot MAP integration is marked coming soon, and HummingDeck does not provide a native Salesforce integration. Dock includes Salesforce and HubSpot on Standard and above.
Five HummingDeck Pro users cost $125 per month on monthly billing or $1,200 per year on annual billing. Dock Standard costs $350 per month and includes five internal users, which equals $4,200 across 12 monthly payments. The plans are not feature-equivalent.
HummingDeck can replace the focused Room, mutual action plan, contextual discussion, controlled-sharing, and document-analytics portion of Dock for teams that create and sign content elsewhere. Dock remains broader for content management, learning, AI enablement, signable order forms, e-signature, Salesforce, HubSpot, SSO, SCIM, and published SOC 2 Type II status.
Rebuild the HummingDeck Room from your source documents, URLs, supported embeds, and mutual-action-plan steps. There is no automatic Dock importer. Keep the Dock workspace available until content, buyer access, discussion context, analytics needs, and signed records have been verified.
Test the smaller workflow
Dock is the stronger fit when consolidation is the goal. HummingDeck is the focused option when finished content, buyer next steps, contextual discussion, and document analytics are the job.
