Why "web & social archiving" isn't enough
PageFreezer is strong where it started — web and social. But your compliance scope runs wider than that, and the gaps are where the risk lives.
Web and social are half the story
PageFreezer began as a website archiving tool and expanded into social. That's their strength. But your scope includes email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, and messaging — channels they don't natively cover.
Pricing you can actually understand
PageFreezer's pricing scales by domains, social accounts, retention period, and snapshot frequency — adding up to quotes that vary widely between customers.
Modern interface, modern workflow
PageFreezer's interface is functional but dated. Search slows down on large archives, and supervision workflows are basic.
Intelligent Monitoring
Get alerted to what matters — not to everything.
Teams switching from other archivers tell us the same thing: their old system flags everything, so reviewers spend their days clearing noise — and the alert that actually matters gets buried with the rest.
Sharp Archive scans each message as it's archived — across all 23+ channels — and checks it against the compliance rules that apply to your firm. Every message gets a risk score, and only higher-risk items surface for review. Your team looks at what's actually a concern, not the whole archive.
Scan on capture
Every message, comment, post, and page is analyzed the moment it's archived — across web, social, email, SMS, and every connected channel.
Score against your rules
Each item is checked against FINRA, SEC, and agency rules and assigned a risk score, with the specific problematic language highlighted.
Surface only what's flagged
When content crosses the risk threshold, your team is notified — so review time goes to genuine concerns, not false alarms.

Why multi-channel matters
A web-and-social archive covers part of your obligation. These are the gaps it leaves open.
FOIA & public records
Government and education customers face records requests covering email, social, and web. A web-only archive leaves you exposed.
FINRA & SEC 17a-4
Financial firms need email and messaging archiving with WORM-equivalent storage — well beyond website snapshots.
Off-channel communications
$2B+ in recent SEC fines came from missing WhatsApp, iMessage, and Slack records. Web archiving doesn't address this risk.

Common questions about switching from PageFreezer
Will I lose website archiving features I rely on?
No. Sharp Archive fully covers website archiving — point-in-time snapshots, browse-by-date, and full-text search — with the same SEC 17a-4 compliance. You keep web archiving and gain email, messaging, and every other channel alongside it.
How long does the migration from PageFreezer take?
Connecting your live channels takes about 5 minutes, and archiving starts the same day. Historical capture import depends on volume — we scope it with you before you commit, at no cost to start.
Will my historical PageFreezer captures be searchable in Sharp Archive?
Yes. We help you export your existing PageFreezer captures and bring them into Sharp Archive, so your historical record stays intact and searchable alongside new data across every channel.
Is Sharp Archive really FINRA-listed?
Yes. Search "Sharp Archive" in the FINRA Compliance Vendor Directory on finra.org. It's the same directory the major incumbents are listed in.
What about MirrorWeb, ArchiveSocial, or other web/social archiving tools?
Same story. If your current tool only covers web and social, Sharp Archive replaces it and adds email, messaging, and the rest of your compliance scope — in one archive, one search, one bill. We support migrations from any of them.
