When a company decides to use a virtual data room there are two key aspects of the platform that require secure storage for its files/documents and easy access to team members. There are many pricing options available for a VDR depending on the type of project size, industry, amount of users and length. This includes per-page pricing or per-user pricing.
Many vendors charge based on the gigabytes (GB). This pricing structure may be ideal for projects that have smaller text file sizes but it can be costly for companies that are exchanging large video or audio files.
The cost of a VDR is also dependent on how much administrative access is granted to the system. Certain providers permit unlimited admin access which can make the platform more expensive. However this feature helps streamline workflows and speeds up due diligence.
Some vendors allow for integration with other widely used platforms, like Slack or Microsoft Office which enhances the user experience and functionality. These integrations are typically more expensive than those that do not integrate.
The length of the project will often influence the cost of the virtual data room since most vendors offer the price for a period of time and then charges month-to-month after that. Some vendors, such as DealRoom offer discounts on M&A deals and let you cancel your contract once the deal is concluded. This is particularly beneficial for companies who aren’t certain of how long a project will last.
