Frequently asked questions

How much does a virtual data room cost?

Published self-serve pricing runs from about $99–600 per month for flat-rate tools up to $395–1,508 per month for capacity-tiered rooms. Quote-only enterprise VDRs like Datasite and Intralinks are reported at $10,000 to $200,000+ per year, usually billed per page. Peony is $30–64 per admin per month billed annually, with unlimited free viewers.

How is the estimate calculated?

For vendors that publish pricing, we apply their published tiers, seat rules, and billing discounts to your inputs, using list prices last verified August 27, 2026. For quote-only vendors we show ranges drawn from independent pricing research, converting per-page rates at the common industry figure of roughly 10,000 pages per gigabyte.

Why do some vendors show no price?

Imprima, SmartRoom, Brainloop, Diligent publish nothing, and no third-party research carries verifiable rates for them. Where a vendor publishes a ceiling instead, configurations above it are marked as having no published price rather than being guessed.

Are these numbers quotes?

No. They are estimates from public list prices and third-party research, and vendors routinely discount from list. Peony's own prices are exact; confirm competitor figures with the vendor before budgeting.
