How to Compare Data Room Pricing

It can be difficult to evaluate pricing when choosing a virtual dataroom (VDR) that is right for your team. Some VDRs offer a set monthly fee that provides access for all users as well as storage space and features. Some VDRs charge per user or page for their services, while some use the system of pricing based on how many gigabytes the VDR uses. It’s like comparing prices on the items on the menu at a buffet, ranging from apple pies and duck a la orange to a myriad of different dishes.

Many VDRs depend on the model of pricing based on pages that charges between $0.40 and $0.85 per page, and overage charges if the number of pages exceeds a limit. While this is a good option for small projects with a clear, set number of documents, it can lead to expensive invoices for larger projects with unstructured files and documents.

Some providers also charge according to the amount of storage the VDR uses, with any overages incurring a cost of up to $75 per GB. This is a great option for teams that have a regular number of users, and documents of a similar size.

Other providers have a tiered pricing structure, where different tiers offer varying levels of functionality for fixed costs. This is ideal for teams with a set budget that require a platform that can be adapted to meet their evolving needs.
