If a company chooses to make use of a virtual data room it is important to consider two primary aspects of the platform it requires: secure storage for its files/documents and an easy access to team members. Depending on the type of industry or project, the number of users, and the length of time, there are different pricing options for a VDR including per-page pricing, per-user pricing pricing based on storage size or a monthly flat fee.
Many vendors charge by the gigabytes (GB). This pricing model may be suitable for projects with small text file sizes but can be expensive for companies that trade large audio or video files.
The price of a VDR is also dependent on the administrator access granted to the system. Certain providers permit unlimited admins, making the platform pricier; however this feature can streamline processes and speeds the process of due diligence.
Some vendors allow for integration with other commonly used platforms, like Slack or Microsoft Office, which improves functionality and user experience. These integrations are typically more expensive than the ones without integrations.
The duration of the project will usually impact the price of a virtual data room, because a service typically offers a set price for a number of months, and then charges month-to-month after that. Certain vendors, such as DealRoom, offer discounts for M&A deals and let you end your contract at the time the deal is complete. This option is ideal for businesses who are not certain about the duration of the project.
