Virtual Data Rooms Designed To Streamline Complex Deals & Save Time

Every EthosData pricing plan available today is an Ideals VDR plan, positioned by the type of deal you are running rather than by feature count. Choose Core for a single, straightforward transaction. Choose Premier when the deal involves higher stakes, tighter security requirements, or a need for dedicated service. Choose Enterprise when your team runs multiple projects at once and needs centralized control across them.

Each plan below lists what is included and who it fits best. Storage, administrator limits, and service level scale up from Core to Enterprise, while security options and service levels expand across the three tiers.

Core

Best for: a single, straightforward deal, such as an SME sale, a bolt-on acquisition, or a first-time fundraise with one buyer group and a review team.

Core is the entry Ideals VDR pricing tier: one project, up to five administrators, unlimited users, and 0.5–2 GB of storage. The plan includes AI-powered redaction, eSignature, document versioning, a due diligence checklist, custom terms of access, standard Q&A management, and 24/7 multilingual support in more than 50 languages.

Choose Core when your deal has a defined scope, a single administrator team, and no requirement for multi-project management or extended service.

Premier

Best for: complex or high-stakes transactions. For example, cross-border M&A, competitive auctions, or deals that need dedicated support beyond a standard due diligence process.

Premier includes everything in Core, plus unlimited administrators, unlimited users, and storage tailored to the size of the deal. The plan adds advanced security settings, AI chat with documents, document translation, custom reporting on request, and a dedicated Premier service team. Sell-side M&A projects on Premier are not billed until the transaction goes live.

Choose Premier when a single project requires more administrators, faster support response times, or security controls beyond the Core plan's default settings.

Enterprise

Best for: repeat dealmakers and multi-project programs, such as investment banks, private equity firms, and corporate development teams running several transactions in parallel.

Enterprise includes everything in Premier, plus unlimited projects, multi-project management, and centralized user management across every data room. Administrators can copy files between projects, apply predefined project settings, and export usage and user reports across the full portfolio. Single sign-on integration and an API integration add-on are both available on this tier once your requirements are confirmed with an Ideals specialist.

Choose Enterprise when your team needs one workspace to manage multiple live projects rather than managing each deal in isolation.

The comparison matters most across the high-security virtual data room pricing tiers, where advanced security settings, Premier services, and multi-project controls distinguish the higher tiers.

What Determines the Final Virtual Data Room Price?

Virtual data room pricing is tailored to the scope of the transaction. These practical requirements help determine the appropriate plan and final quote.

01

Project type and duration

A straightforward single transaction has different requirements from a longer or more complex deal.

02

Number of projects

Core and Premier cover one project, while Enterprise supports teams managing multiple projects.

03

Administrators

Core supports up to five administrators, while Premier and Enterprise accommodate larger teams.

04

Storage and document volume

The size of the document set affects the storage allocation included in the project quote.

05

Security and service level

Advanced security settings, onboarding and dedicated service can affect the appropriate plan.

06

Enterprise requirements

Single sign-on and API requirements should be confirmed when discussing an Enterprise quote.

Because these requirements differ from project to project, a tailored quote provides a more useful figure than a generic rate. Read our virtual data room pricing guide for a broader overview.

Which Plan Is Right for Your Project?

These typical deal scenarios show how different project requirements can translate into Core, Premier or Enterprise.

Scenario 1

A straightforward single transaction

A regional advisory firm is running one sell-side process with a small internal administrator team and a clearly defined document set.

One project and a five-administrator allowance can cover the deal without adding unnecessary complexity.

Likely fit: Core
Scenario 2

A complex competitive transaction

A private equity team is managing multiple bidder groups, cross-border advisers and a compressed due diligence timeline.

Unlimited administrators, more advanced controls and dedicated support provide greater flexibility.

Likely fit: Premier
Scenario 3

An enterprise deal pipeline

An investment bank is managing several active mandates across different teams at the same time.

Multi-project management and centralized administration allow multiple live projects to be governed together.

Likely fit: Enterprise

Frequently asked questions

What affects virtual data room pricing?
Virtual data room pricing is usually based on the scope of your project rather than a flat one-size-fits-all fee. The main factors include project size, security requirements, service needs, the number of projects, administrator limits, storage allocation, and the level of support or advanced functionality included. Pricing is also storage-based, meaning you pay for the amount of data stored rather than by file type or by how often files are revised or replaced.
When do I start paying for a virtual data room?
You can begin with a trial that requires no initial payment and includes full functionality. Billing starts when the paid service term begins under the selected order or subscription. For certain M&A sell-side projects, billing may begin only once the project goes live.
Can I start with a free trial before choosing a paid plan?
Yes. A free trial with full functionality is available and does not require an initial payment. A trial room can also be used for live transactions and then converted seamlessly into a paid subscription once a plan is selected, without needing to re-upload documents. There is also no obligation to continue after the trial expires.
Can I change my virtual data room plan as my needs evolve?
Yes. You can switch to a different plan if your needs change. Plan changes are typically handled through your sales representative or account contact.
Do I have to pay for invited users?
No separate per-user charge is indicated for invited participants because the plans include unlimited users. The main plan differences are instead tied to projects, admins, storage, and service level. For example, entry-level plans may include a capped number of administrators, while higher tiers offer unlimited administrators.
What is the difference between Core, Premier, and Enterprise?
The entry plan is designed for small to medium deals and includes one project, five administrators, unlimited users, and 0.5–2 GB of storage. The mid-tier plan is intended for more complex transactions and includes one project, unlimited administrators, unlimited users, tailored storage, and more advanced features such as enhanced security settings and AI-powered tools. The top-tier plan is built for a high volume of projects and includes unlimited projects, unlimited administrators, unlimited users, tailored storage, along with multi-project management, single sign-on, and API integration options.
What security features are included in the virtual data room?
Security features include AES-256 encryption at rest, SSL/TLS with 2048-bit RSA encryption in transit, two-step verification, dynamic watermarks, fence view, granular permissions, IP restrictions, and comprehensive audit logs. The platform also complies with recognized standards such as SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Can I convert my trial data room into a paid subscription without starting over?
Yes. The trial room can be converted directly into a paid subscription, and previously uploaded files do not need to be uploaded again.
Can I get an archive of my data room after the transaction is finished?
Yes. You can request a fully compliant offline archive on an encrypted USB drive, and a downloadable password-protected archive can also be created from within the platform.
