This guide compares four parts of the diligence stack: a data room to share documents, a cap table investors can trust, a place to run the board, and a way to model a round or an exit before you agree to it. If you buy them from different providers, here is how each one is usually priced.

Key facts

  • Per-page data room: priced by page count, so the bill grows with the documents. One published 2026 pricing guide puts typical rates at about $0.40 to $0.85 a page.
  • Cap table tool: usually its own plan, often billed yearly and sized by how many stakeholders you have.
  • Board portal: often priced per board member or per board, usually on an annual contract.
  • Scenario modeling: often a higher plan tier, a separate tool, or a spreadsheet.
  • Diligence Ready: one plan. Founders is free forever. Standard is $99/mo for up to 10 users. The data room is part of your plan, not a separate charge.

How per-page data room fees work

Typical per-page data rooms charge by document volume, so the invoice can grow with the deal. One published 2026 pricing guide puts typical rates at about $0.40 to $0.85 a page. Actual quotes vary by provider and contract. Some contracts count every page added to the room, not only the pages a reviewer opens.

That makes the final bill hard to predict. Diligence requests keep adding documents after the room opens. New reviewers join partway through. Some contracts also add charges outside the page rate, such as fees for extra users or for going over an included amount.

The rest of the stack, priced separately

Cap table tool

The cap table is usually a separate tool from the data room. Many cap table tools bill yearly, and the price often rises with the number of stakeholders on the table. Some keep features like round modeling for higher tiers.

Board portal

A board portal is usually its own subscription. Portals are often priced per board member or per board, usually on an annual contract, and some only share a price after a demo.

Scenario modeling

Modeling a priced round or an exit waterfall often means paying for a higher cap table tier, buying a separate modeling tool, or using a spreadsheet.

What a separate stack adds up to

Each tool can make sense on its own. Bought separately, they mean several contracts, several renewals and several logins. The numbers also live in different places, so the cap table in one tool has to be checked against the copy in the data room before anyone else sees it.

Questions to ask before you sign

  • What counts as a page? Are spreadsheets and scanned files counted differently?
  • Is there a minimum, an included amount or an overage rate?
  • Does adding a reviewer or a user raise the price?
  • Are the cap table, board and modeling tools included, or are they separate contracts?
  • Where do the files live, and what happens to them when the deal closes?
  • Is the price listed, or do you have to ask for a quote?

How Diligence Ready prices it: one plan

On Diligence Ready, the data room is part of your plan, not a separate charge. The cap table and checklist are both included on every plan. Board management and scenario modeling are in each plan's limits:

  • Founders is free forever: 3 users (internal and investor), the full cap table, 150 AI credits a month, one data room, one board, and 1 scenario.
  • Standard is $99/mo for up to 10 users. Data rooms: 5 rooms, 25 guests. Board management: 3 boards. Scenario modeling: up to 5 scenarios. Annual billing is two months free. Standard works out to $82.50/mo, billed as $990/year.
  • Growth ($250/mo, 25 users) and Scale ($500/mo, 100 users) are coming soon.

No per-seat fees, up to your tier's user limit. No per-page data room fees on any plan. Page count never changes the price.

Your documents stay in your Google Drive or OneDrive. Investors open them in the app, watermarked with their name and email, and never get a link into your Drive. See full pricing for what's in each tier.

FAQ

How much does a data room cost per page?

One published 2026 pricing guide puts typical per-page rates at about $0.40 to $0.85 a page, before any user or overage fees. Actual quotes vary by provider and contract.

Why is a per-page bill hard to predict?

Because the page count keeps growing during diligence. Follow-up requests add documents, reviewers join late, and some contracts charge for extra users or for going over an included amount.

Does a data room include a cap table tool?

Usually not. The cap table is usually a separate tool, with its own plan and renewal. On Diligence Ready, the cap table and checklist are both included on every plan, and the data room is part of your plan, not a separate charge.

How are board portals priced?

Board portals are often priced per board member or per board, usually on an annual contract, and some only share a price after a demo. On Diligence Ready, board management is in each plan's limits: 1 board, 5 invitees on Founders and 3 boards on Standard.
