The Datasite Alternative Built for Smaller Deals
Datasite averages $68,000/year — with per-page fees that can reach $720,000 for large projects. DDFlow delivers AI-native due diligence at a fraction of the cost, without the enterprise contract.
The Problem with Datasite
Enterprise Pricing for Non-Enterprise Deals
Datasite's average contract runs ~$68k/year. Per-page pricing at $0.60 means a typical 10GB project costs $72,000+ in document fees alone.
Weeks of Setup, Not Minutes
Datasite requires vendor onboarding, IT approval, and a dedicated implementation process. Most boutique teams wait 2–4 weeks before their first project goes live.
Built for Billion-Dollar Deals
Datasite was designed for bulge bracket banks and large PE. The feature set, pricing structure, and minimum commitments reflect that — leaving smaller deal teams underserved.
