FMG launches ToolDocs WordPress document plugin

Freelance Marketing Group has released ToolDocs, a WordPress plugin that gates documents, captures leads and tracks downloads from within a site’s own server. The launch gives organizations a free core tool now, with a premium tier and add-ons aimed at sales and marketing teams. Why it matters: - ToolDocs gives WordPress users a native way to manage document access without relying on separate cloud storage, form tools or spreadsheets. - The plugin keeps files and customer data on the organization’s own server, which FMG positions as a privacy and control advantage. - The release turns document downloads into a lead-generation and analytics channel for sales and marketing teams. What happened: - Freelance Marketing Group, Inc. announced ToolDocs, a WordPress document management software system, on June 16, 2026. - The plugin is available now as a free core version with an optional Premium tier. - ToolDocs is designed for businesses, agencies, and sales and marketing teams. - FMG says the plugin gives organizations control over how digital documents are distributed, accessed and tracked. The details: - ToolDocs includes document gating, lead capture and download analytics inside WordPress. - Every document gets two links: a gated link that requires registration and a public link. - The access-control system includes hash-based URLs, whitelist approval workflows and admin-controlled token expiry. - The form builder is drag-and-drop and collects information at the point of download. - Verification options include email or WordPress authentication, 6-digit verification codes, and spam protection through reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile and Honeypot. - Download analytics include per-file history, user details, gated versus ungated breakdowns, date-range filtering and Excel export. - Documents are stored in the site’s wp-content/uploads/tooldocs/ directory. - FMG says the plugin does not use external storage services or third-party data transmission. - The free tier includes unlimited document uploads, download tracking, category organization, version history and shortcode embedding. - The free version is listed permanently on the official WordPress plugin directory. - Premium costs $99 per year and unlocks document gating, registration forms, email verification, the whitelist approval workflow and priority support. - Three add-ons require an active Premium license: Advanced Analytics, Sales Dashboard and External Forms. - Advanced Analytics adds visitor journey tracking, UTM and click ID attribution, five dashboards and CookieYes consent management integration. - Sales Dashboard adds engagement-based lead scoring, territory assignment, real-time download notifications, webhook-based CRM integration and Excel lead profile exports. - External Forms integrates with Gravity Forms, with automatic field mapping, auto-login and smart redirects. - Trevor Walter, FMG president, said ToolDocs had been used in client work for over 15 years before the public release. - Steve Longren, president of Longren & Parks, said the Sales Dashboard addon made the biggest impact by improving the targeting and timing of follow-up conversations. - FMG says more information is available at the company’s website . Between the lines: - The launch pushes FMG deeper into productized software for specialized workflows, not just marketing services. - The free-plus-paid structure lowers the barrier to adoption while reserving advanced lead and sales features for paying users. - The server-side design and optional compliance tools suggest FMG is targeting organizations that care about data control and privacy. What’s next: - ToolDocs will likely compete on workflow consolidation, especially for teams that want document gating and lead capture inside WordPress. - The add-ons give FMG a path to expand the product into a broader document-intelligence platform. - Organizations can start with the free tier and upgrade to Premium if they need gating, verification or sales-focused features.
