Frequently asked questions
SecureDocs is $250/mo flat for unlimited users — isn't that better value?
For a large team where per-user pricing would be expensive, SecureDocs' flat rate makes sense. For a founding team of 2-3 running a fundraise, Pageform Core at $55/mo gives you AI generation, narrative canvas, section analytics, Q&A, and NDA gating — at less than a quarter of the cost. The question is whether you need unlimited users or a better deal experience.
We're raising a Series A and considering SecureDocs for the data room — what's missing?
SecureDocs gives you a secure folder. It has no AI generation, no narrative canvas, no section analytics, and no Q&A. Investors see a file list; you see file access logs. Pageform gives you AI that builds the room, section analytics that show what each investor is reading, and Q&A that handles their questions — all for $55/mo versus SecureDocs' $250/mo starting price.
Does Pageform have the same security controls as SecureDocs?
Yes. Pageform includes NDA gating, email gating, download control, link expiration, visit limits, granular file permissions, and audit trail on Pro. SecureDocs has the same security baseline. The difference is that Pageform adds AI generation, narrative canvas, section analytics, and Q&A on top of that security foundation.
Our startup has multiple team members who need data room access — how does pricing work?
SecureDocs uses flat-fee pricing, starting at $250/mo on annual plans and $400/mo for shorter-term projects. Pageform is built to stay accessible for smaller teams, with Core at $55/mo and Pro at $110/mo. If you need more seats or a larger setup, you can expand from there without jumping straight into enterprise-style VDR pricing.
We're a VC-backed startup sharing materials with our board and investors — which platform is better?
Pageform. Board and investor updates benefit from narrative structure — performance highlights, portfolio section, key decisions — organized in a guided flow. Section analytics show you which board members and investors are engaging with which sections. Q&A handles their questions in one place. SecureDocs gives you secure file sharing without any of those workflow features.
Can Pageform's free plan replace the SecureDocs trial?
Yes. Pageform offers a no-strings 7-day free trial on Core, so you can build and test a full data room before committing. If you do not upgrade after the trial, you can still use Pageform’s free plan for limited secure document sharing with basic viewer analytics. SecureDocs is built around paid VDR plans, while Pageform gives smaller teams a lower-friction way to start.
