A Complete Alternative to PageFreezer
PageFreezer captures your web and social. Sharp Archive captures everything — web, social, email, SMS, messaging — in one platform.
Why "Web & Social Archiving" Isn't Enough
Why Firms Choose Sharp Archive Over PageFreezer
Web and Social Are Half the Story
PageFreezer started as a website archiving tool and expanded into social. That's their strength. But your compliance scope includes email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, and messaging — channels they don't natively cover.
On Sharp Archive
Built from day one for full-channel archiving. Web and social are two of 20+ platforms we capture.
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.
On Sharp Archive
Transparent pricing. One line item. No "per snapshot" math.
Modern Interface, Modern Workflow
PageFreezer's UI is functional but dated. Search is slow on large archives. Supervision workflows are basic.
On Sharp Archive
A modern interface designed for how compliance teams work today. Full-text search across every channel in one place.

See If You QualifyWhy Multi-Channel Matters
Built for the Full Compliance Scope
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.
