The Three VDR Pricing Models in India
Virtual data room pricing in India typically falls into three models: per-page pricing (where you pay for each page stored), fixed-fee pricing (a flat rate for the entire deal regardless of volume), and custom enterprise pricing (negotiated based on deal size, storage, and contract term). Understanding these models is critical to choosing the right VDR without surprise costs.
Confiex offers multiple pricing models across our four platforms: eDataRooms uses fixed-fee pricing, Confiex Data Room uses custom enterprise pricing with no per-page or per-user charges, and DocullyVDR offers both fixed-fee and custom options depending on the deal requirements.
Per-Page Pricing: Why to Avoid It
Per-page pricing is the most consumer-unfriendly VDR pricing model. You are charged for every page uploaded, which means thorough due diligence (uploading more documents) is financially penalised. This model creates a perverse incentive — deal teams may hold back documents to control costs, which defeats the purpose of a comprehensive data room.
Confiex does not offer per-page pricing on any of our platforms. We believe that deal teams should upload every relevant document without worrying about incremental costs.
Fixed-Fee Pricing: Predictability for Budget-Conscious Deals
Fixed-fee pricing (offered by eDataRooms) gives you a single upfront price for the entire data room engagement, regardless of how many documents you upload or how many users you invite. This model is ideal for price-sensitive deals like NCLT/IBC proceedings, mid-market M&A, and fundraising rounds where budget predictability matters.
The key advantage of fixed-fee pricing is that there are no surprise costs — you know the total price before the deal begins. The trade-off is that fixed-fee plans may have storage limits or feature restrictions compared to custom enterprise pricing.
Custom Enterprise Pricing: For Large, Complex Deals
Custom enterprise pricing (offered by Confiex Data Room) is negotiated based on your deal size, storage requirements, contract term, and specific feature needs. This model has no per-page or per-user charges — you pay a negotiated fee that covers everything. It is ideal for large M&A deals, IPOs, and cross-border transactions where the data room is mission-critical.

Hidden Costs to Watch For
When comparing VDR pricing, watch for hidden costs: per-user charges (some VDRs charge for each additional user), storage overage fees, setup or onboarding fees, training fees, API access fees, and early termination fees. Ask each vendor for an all-inclusive quote that covers the entire deal period.
Confiex's pricing is transparent — we provide an all-inclusive quote upfront with no hidden charges. If your deal scope changes, we discuss adjustments openly rather than automatically billing you for overages.
