Criterion by criterion

Cost

Features
Datasite lists redaction, SSO and a native app. Ellty lists NDA signing and AI help, and is rated easier to learn.

Ellty vs Datasite: questions
Is Datasite worth it for a seed or Series A round?
Rarely. The round has a handful of investors and a few gigabytes of files. A full room with a listed price covers it at a fraction of the cost.
Do both offer AI features?
Yes. Both list AI help in the research file; Datasite focuses on indexing, translation and redaction, Ellty on summaries and search.
Which one do banks prefer?
Large banks often run Datasite or Intralinks. When the issuer opens the room, the choice is the issuer's.
