What does data room software cost?

What does data room software cost? To determine a data room software price is not always straightforward, and the market is filled with vendors that will charge you as much as you will give them. The best pricing is an unlimited plan where you are never charged more for adding deal, number of documents, number of users, deals, and the price is not tied to AUM or the amount of deals you are doing. You should NEVER be nickel and dimed into paying a higher price every month or year or transaction. You will get into the data room software and eventually after a few months or weeks you'll be paying double what you signed up for. At this point you are 'locked in' and it is sometimes hard for certain firms to get your data out. Be very wary of data rooms that are priced without unlimited pricing. Make sure to ask about hosting charges as well. Normally, these are billed after you sign the deal, so a 10,000/year deal quickly goes to 20,000 a year with hosting added.
