Why teams switch from Tilkee to Peony
Tilkee built its name on European proposal-tracking and engagement scoring. Modern document sharing demands more — full data rooms, NDA gating, AI document chat, and custom-domain delivery — at a price your CFO can sign off without a sales call.
Full data rooms
Tilkee tracks individual proposals well, but full diligence-grade data rooms are not its core use case. Peony gives you unlimited branded data rooms with folder hierarchies, granular per-recipient permissions, and auto-indexing — built for fundraising and M&A workflows.
AI-powered Q&A
Tilkee has no AI document chat. Peony's Business plan adds AI document chat, Smart Q&A, AI Rooms completeness scoring, and auto-indexing — so buyers and investors get instant cited answers from your files at any hour.
NDA-gated sharing
Require every recipient to sign an NDA before they see a single page. Built into Peony with native e-signatures, no third-party tool — the kind of gated, premium experience PE and M&A buyers expect.
Transparent USD pricing
Tilkee is quote-based with no public free tier. Peony shows every price upfront: Free $0, Pro $20/admin/month, Business $40/admin/month. Self-serve free trial, no sales call to find out what you'll pay.
Pricing comparison
Peony publishes every tier in USD. Tilkee operates a sales-led, quote-based pricing model with no public free tier, so the only way to find out what you'll pay is to book a call.

What Peony gives you that Tilkee does not
Go from a single proposal link to a complete data room
Tilkee is excellent at proposal tracking, but full data rooms with folder hierarchies, NDA gating, and per-recipient permissions are not its core use case. Peony gives you unlimited branded data rooms with auto-indexing, controlled redaction, and built-in NDA e-signatures — all under your custom domain on the Business plan.
NDA-gated access
Require every recipient to sign an NDA before they see a single page. Native e-signatures, no third-party signing tool needed.
Screenshot protection
Block screen captures of sensitive proposals and decks on the Business plan — Tilkee does not advertise an equivalent.
Dynamic watermarks
Every page stamped with the viewer's email and timestamp — trace any leak instantly back to its source.
The engagement signal Tilkee built its name on — on every plan
Page-by-page analytics show exactly which pages each recipient read, time-on-page, scroll depth, total view time, device, and city. Real-time notifications fire the moment a buyer opens your link. Available from the Free plan upward — no per-viewer caps, no enterprise quote required.
Let buyers ask questions and get instant cited answers
Tilkee has no AI document chat. Peony's Business plan adds AI document chat for instant cited answers from your files, Smart Q&A for a structured 4-step buyer-question workflow, AI Rooms completeness scoring, and auto-indexing with OCR and full-text search — so buyers and investors stop waiting on email replies.
"Peony is a standout for data rooms and gated file sharing — intuitive, secure, and beautifully designed. The AI actually adds value, not just a checkbox feature. Highly recommend."

Frequently asked questions
We're a French sales team using Tilkee — does Peony work for EU buyers and is it GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Peony is fully GDPR-compliant and is used by European sales, M&A, and fundraising teams every day. We share documents under TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, log every viewer event for audit, and let you set link expiry, revoke access, and dynamic watermarks at any time. Peony is SOC 2-ready, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliant with 99.96% uptime since August 2025. While Tilkee is the European standard for sales engagement tracking, Peony delivers the same engagement analytics — plus full data rooms, NDA gating, AI-powered Q&A, and custom-domain delivery — at transparent USD pricing your CFO can sign off on without a sales call.
Tilkee tracks engagement well — does Peony have similar real-time tracking, like which page they spent the most time on?
Yes — and on every plan, not just enterprise. Peony's page-level analytics show you exactly which pages each prospect read, how long they spent on each one, scroll depth, total viewing time, and the device and city they viewed from. You get real-time notifications the moment a buyer opens your proposal or data room. Tilkee built its reputation on this kind of engagement signal, and Peony matches it page-by-page with no per-viewer tracking caps. The difference: Peony also lets you act on it — gate the next document behind an NDA, revoke a link the moment it leaks, or push the conversation into Smart Q&A so AI drafts the follow-up answer.
Can recipients view documents without downloading them, like Tilkee's no-download mode?
Yes. Peony serves every document inside a no-download, browser-native viewer on every plan — including Free ($0). Recipients read your proposal, deck, or data room without ever pulling a local copy. On the Business plan ($40/admin/month) you stack screenshot protection (blocks screen-capture tools), dynamic watermarks stamped with the viewer's email and timestamp, NDA gating, and controlled redaction on top of view-only. So even if someone tries to capture content, the watermark traces the source. This is the no-download, no-leak experience modern buyers expect — beautifully designed, intuitive, and far more controllable than a one-off PDF link.
Tilkee charges quote-based pricing — what does Peony cost for a similar feature set?
Peony's pricing is fully transparent in USD with no quote calls required. Free is $0 with 2 GB and unlimited links. Pro is $20/admin/month for 200 GB with password protection, e-signatures, and link controls. Business is $40/admin/month for 1 TB with full data rooms, screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA gating, custom-domain delivery, and AI-powered document Q&A. Tilkee's pricing is quote-based with no public free tier — you book a sales call to find out what you'll pay. For a sales engagement and proposal-tracking workflow with the engagement analytics teams hire Tilkee for, Peony Pro is usually plenty; Business is the upgrade when you also want a real data room and AI features.
We share investor decks AND sales proposals — is Peony better-suited for both than Tilkee?
Yes — this is where Tilkee's sales-engagement focus runs out and Peony takes over. Tilkee was built for tracking sales proposals, and that is what it does well. Peony covers the same proposal-tracking use case with page-level analytics and engagement scoring, but it also gives you full investor data rooms, NDA gating, e-signatures, AI document chat, and Smart Q&A — a structured workflow where investors submit questions, AI drafts answers from your documents, your team reviews, and approved responses are published. So one platform, one branded link experience, one set of analytics for sales proposals, investor decks, and full diligence rooms — instead of a sales tool plus a separate VDR.
Does Peony serve documents from my own domain (e.g., files.mycompany.com) like Tilkee custom branding?
Yes. On the Business plan ($40/admin/month) Peony serves every link from your own custom domain — files.yourcompany.com or docs.yourcompany.com — instead of a generic vendor URL. You also get full white-label branding: your logo, your custom welcome screen, your color palette, and the option to remove all Peony branding from the viewer. Buyers see a premium, beautifully designed experience under your domain, not a third-party tool. Custom logo, custom domain, custom welcome screen, and remove branding are Business-tier features (not available on Free or Pro), exactly the same way Tilkee positions custom branding as a higher-tier feature.
Tilkee doesn't have AI features — what does Peony's AI add to my proposal sharing workflow?
Tilkee is a strong engagement tracker but it has no AI document chat. On Peony's Business plan ($40/admin/month) you get four AI capabilities: AI document chat lets buyers ask questions about your proposal, deck, or data room and get instant cited answers from your files 24/7; Smart Q&A is a 4-step structured workflow where buyers ask, AI drafts an answer from your documents, your team reviews, and approved responses are published; AI Rooms scores your data room completeness and flags gaps before a buyer opens it; and auto-indexing applies OCR, classifies documents, and powers full-text search. For a proposal-heavy or fundraising workflow, AI document chat alone removes the late-night ‘can you clarify slide 14’ email loop.
Can I require NDA signature before a prospect opens my deck, like Tilkee's gating?
Yes. Peony has NDA gating built directly into the platform — no third-party signing tool, no Docusign add-on. On the Business plan ($40/admin/month) you upload your NDA, attach it to a link or data room, and every recipient must sign it with Peony's native e-signatures before they see a single page. The signed NDA is stored in your audit trail with timestamp and IP. This is essential when you're sharing financials, customer data, or product roadmaps with prospects — and it's the kind of gated, NDA-first workflow that boutique M&A advisors and PE-backed sales teams expect from a premium document-sharing platform.
Tilkee feels enterprise-grade but heavy — is Peony equally professional but more intuitive for SMBs and mid-market?
Yes — this is exactly the buyer Peony is built for. Tilkee's enterprise sales motion and quote-based pricing make sense for large French and European sales orgs, but it can feel heavy for boutique advisors, mid-market sales teams, and growing SMBs. Peony has a median setup time of 4 minutes 19 seconds from account creation to first document upload, transparent USD pricing, and a self-serve free trial — but the same enterprise-grade security underneath: SOC 2-ready, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA compliant, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, 99.96% uptime since August 2025. Beautifully designed, intuitive enough for a 3-person team, professional enough for a $4.5B asset base.
We're switching from Tilkee — how long does Peony migration take?
Most teams complete the move in under an hour. The actual Peony setup — account creation, brand colors, custom domain (Business plan), uploading documents, configuring permissions and NDA gating — has a median time of 4 minutes 19 seconds. The longer part is exporting your active proposal links from Tilkee and reissuing them through Peony, which is straightforward because every link in Peony is independently configurable: expiry, password, watermark, NDA, screenshot protection. Once you cut over, you keep the same engagement-tracking signal you relied on with Tilkee, but you also gain full data rooms, AI document chat, NDA gating, and custom-domain delivery — without a sales call to find out what it costs.
