Planning estimate from the figures you enter. Not investment, tax or legal advice.
How it is calculated
- All-in monthly = price + extra users x user price + extra GB x GB price.
- Total = all-in monthly x months + one-off fees.
- Cost per investor = total / investors.
Worked example: A ten-month fund raise on a $149 plan
| All-in monthly cost | $149 |
| Total for the raise | $1,490 |
| Cost per investor (80 LPs) | $18.63 |
Price the whole raise
A fund raise can run a year from first close to final close, and the room often stays open afterwards for LP reporting. Price the full period, not the first month.
For quote-only vendors, ask for the monthly rate, what is included, overage rates and the cost of an archive copy at the end.
Compare vendors
The pricing calculator runs the same raise across all 16 rooms, with listed prices where vendors publish them and planning bands where they do not.
Cost per investor
Dividing by the investors who read the room puts the cost next to the size of the raise. For most raises it is a small line next to legal fees.
Mistakes to avoid
- Pricing only the first month of a long raise.
- Missing per-page or per-GB overage terms.
- Forgetting the cost of keeping the room open for LP reporting.
- Signing an annual contract for a four-month round.
Questions and answers
How much does a data room cost for a raise?
Between $120 and $299 a month for the flat-priced rooms on this site, and usually more for quote-only platforms. Ellty lists $149 a month with a 14-day free trial.
Monthly or annual billing?
For a raise under a year, monthly billing usually wins. For a fund that will keep the room for LP reporting, compare the annual rate.
Are there free data rooms for fundraising?
Several vendors offer a free trial. A full raise needs a paid plan once the trial ends.
