What is Drooms?

Drooms home


Drooms is a virtual data room (VDR) platform designed for secure document sharing during M&A transactions, due diligence, and fundraising. Founded in 2000 and based in Germany, it's one of the established players in the European VDR market.

Key features:

  • Secure document storage and sharing with granular permissions
  • Detailed analytics on who viewed which documents and when
  • Q&A management for due diligence processes
  • Compliance with European data protection standards (GDPR)
  • Role-based access controls and audit trails
  • Document indexing and full-text search

Drooms targets mid-market and enterprise companies running complex transactions. They're known for their focus on European compliance standards and support for multi-language deals. The platform handles primarily M&A, real estate transactions, and corporate fundraising.

Current Drooms pricing (2026)

All prices in EUR. Drooms bills in euros, so international customers pay at current exchange rates (approximately $1.10 USD per euro as of early 2026).

Pricing is per user/month on the Flex plan. Enterprise is custom quoted based on project size and requirements.

Real costs for teams

Per-user pricing adds up fast, especially on Flex where storage is so limited. Here's what Drooms actually costs for common team scenarios.

Scenario 1: Solo advisor

Team size: 1 user

Use case: Running occasional sell-side advisory projects, 2-3 deals per year

Recommended plan: Flex

Monthly cost: €17.90

What this includes:

  • 300 MB storage (enough for 15-60 pitch decks depending on file size)
  • All core VDR features for one user
  • Email support

Limitations to watch:

What this includes:

  • 900 MB total storage (300 MB × 3 users)
  • 3 internal users with full access
  • Unlimited external viewer access
  • Activity tracking on all documents

Limitations to watch:

Team size: 8 users (partners and analysts)

Use case: Running 4-6 M&A transactions simultaneously, heavy document volume

Recommended plan: Enterprise

Monthly cost: €600-800 (estimated, custom quote required)

Annual cost: €7,200-9,600

What this includes:

  • Unlimited users (all 8 team members)
  • Unlimited storage (critical for due diligence doc volumes)
  • Dedicated customer success manager
  • Priority support with faster response times

  • May need to negotiate for specific features or higher storage tiers

Scenario 4: Corporate development team

Team size: 5 users

Use case: Running due diligence on acquisition targets, 2-3 projects per year

What this includes:

  • 10 users with full access
  • Unlimited storage for property docs, financial records, legal files

Limitations to watch:

  • High annual commitment for what might be seasonal work

Cost comparison table

Drooms cost comparison


Hidden cost multipliers:

Costs increase when you need:

  • More storage on Flex (must buy entire new user licenses at €17.90 each for just 300 MB more)
  • Mid-contract user additions on Enterprise (may trigger contract renegotiation)
  • Training for new team members (included time often limited)
  • Custom integrations or API development (billed separately)
  • Extended contract support beyond standard SLA

What teams actually need

Most teams overpay for features they don't use or underestimate storage needs on Flex. Here's what actually matters for different use cases.

Fundraising (seed to Series B)

Must-have features:

  • Secure document sharing with trackable links
  • Analytics on who viewed which documents
  • Email notifications when investors access materials
  • Permission controls (view vs download)
  • Mobile-friendly investor access

Nice-to-have features:

  • Q&A management
  • Watermarking
  • Custom branding
  • NDA management

Skip these features:

  • Advanced compliance certifications (overkill for most fundraising)
  • SSO integration (investors won't use it)
  • Dedicated customer success manager

Recommended plan: Flex works only if you have very few documents (under 1 GB total). Most fundraising teams need 2-5 GB once you include pitch deck, financials, customer data, contracts, and supporting materials. This means you'd need 7-17 Flex user licenses just for storage (€125-300/month), making Enterprise more cost-effective despite higher base price.

Reality check: If you're on Flex and need 10 licenses just to get 3 GB of storage when you only have 3 actual team members, Enterprise makes more sense.

M&A sell-side advisory

Must-have features:

  • Unlimited storage (due diligence documents easily exceed 10-50 GB)
  • Granular permission controls for different buyer groups
  • Detailed audit logs and activity tracking
  • Q&A management for buyer questions
  • Secure external access for multiple buyer teams

Nice-to-have features:

  • Custom branding (looks more professional)
  • Dedicated support (deals move fast)
  • Watermarking (prevents document leaks)

Skip these features:

  • SSO (external buyers won't use company SSO)
  • API access (unless integrating with other deal tools)

Recommended plan: Enterprise. The storage requirements alone make Flex impossible. A typical sell-side M&A process involves hundreds to thousands of documents totaling 20-100+ GB.

Corporate development / buy-side M&A

Must-have features:

  • Unlimited storage for target company documents
  • User management for cross-functional team (legal, finance, operations)
  • Download controls and watermarking
  • Detailed analytics on team activity
  • Audit trails for compliance

Nice-to-have features:

  • SSO integration with company directory
  • Custom security policies
  • API access for workflow automation
  • Dedicated CSM for multiple concurrent deals

Skip these features:

  • Custom branding (internal use only)
  • White-labeling

Recommended plan: Enterprise. Corporate teams need storage flexibility, user management for larger teams, and security features that aren't available on Flex.

Real estate transactions

Must-have features:

  • Large storage capacity (property docs, surveys, environmental reports)
  • Simple external access for buyers, lenders, inspectors
  • Document indexing and search
  • Permission management by document type
  • Activity tracking

Nice-to-have features:

  • Q&A management
  • Custom folder structures
  • Branding

Skip these features:

  • Advanced compliance features beyond standard security
  • API integrations
  • SSO

Recommended plan: Enterprise for commercial real estate with extensive documentation. Flex might work for very simple residential transactions but storage limits will be tight.

Decision framework

Ask yourself:

How much storage do you actually need?

  • Under 1 GB: Flex could work (3-4 users)
  • 1-10 GB: Need 4-34 Flex licenses or Enterprise
  • 10+ GB: Enterprise only option

How many people need internal access?

  • 1-2 people: Flex is viable if storage works
  • 3-5 people: Compare Flex cost vs Enterprise quote
  • 5+ people: Enterprise likely better value

How often do you run transactions?

  • 1-2 per year: Flex pay-as-you-go makes sense
  • 3+ per year: Enterprise annual contract spreads cost
  • Continuous deal flow: Enterprise with unlimited storage essential

What's your support requirement?

  • Can wait hours/days for email: Flex works
  • Need same-day responses: Enterprise with dedicated CSM
  • Running time-sensitive deals: Enterprise priority support critical

Do you need compliance features?

  • Basic security: Flex sufficient
  • GDPR compliance: Both plans covered (German company)
  • SSO, advanced audit logs, custom policies: Enterprise only

What users say about Drooms pricing

We reviewed user comments on G2, Capterra, and Gartner. Here's what actual customers say about Drooms pricing.

What users like

Pricing clarity on Flex:

"The per-user pricing is straightforward. You know exactly what you're paying each month." — M&A Advisor, G2

Free trial value:

"30-day trial gave us enough time to test with a real project before committing." — Corporate Development Manager, Capterra

Common pricing complaints

Storage limits force expensive workarounds:

"300 MB per user is a joke for M&A work. We had to buy 15 licenses just to get enough storage for our team of 4 people. That's €268/month when we should be paying €72." — Investment Banking Analyst, G2

Enterprise pricing opacity:

"Getting a price quote required multiple sales calls. They wouldn't give us a number until we explained our entire use case and negotiated. Just tell me what it costs." — CFO, Capterra

No annual discount on Flex:

"We use Drooms all year but there's no incentive to commit annually on Flex. We pay the same €17.90 whether we use it one month or twelve." — Financial Advisor, G2

Expensive compared to alternatives:

"For what we needed, Drooms was 3x the cost of other VDR options. The features were good but not worth the premium for our use case." — Startup Founder, Capterra

Forced into Enterprise tier:

"Flex plan was useless because of storage limits. We got pushed into Enterprise pricing which was way more than our budget for 2-3 deals per year." — Corporate Attorney, Gartner

Value perception

Most users find Drooms well-built and secure, but expensive relative to alternatives. Teams running complex, high-value transactions (large M&A, major real estate deals) consider it worth the cost for the security and support. Smaller teams and occasional users feel forced into pricing tiers beyond their needs.

The storage model on Flex draws consistent criticism. Users expect to pay for users and storage separately, not buy extra user licenses just to get more storage space.

Enterprise customers appreciate the unlimited storage and dedicated support, but many wish pricing was more transparent upfront instead of requiring sales negotiations.

When Drooms makes sense

You should consider Drooms if:

  • You're running European M&A deals and need GDPR-native platform
  • You need German/European language support and local data centers
  • You're an enterprise with budget for unlimited storage and dedicated support
  • Security and compliance are top priorities (regulated industries)
  • You value established reputation in traditional M&A market

When alternatives make sense

Look at other options if:

  • You're primarily sharing pitch decks for fundraising (Ellty is simpler and more startup-friendly)
  • You're a small team running occasional transactions (room-based pricing like Firmex)
  • You need better storage value on lower tiers (DocSend gives 1 GB/user vs Drooms' 300 MB)
  • You want to avoid annual Enterprise commitments (Ellty and DocSend have monthly options)
  • You're budget-conscious and don't need full VDR complexity (Ellty free plan covers basic needs)

Special offers and discounts

Current promotions: Drooms doesn't advertise ongoing promotions publicly. Occasional offers may appear for new customers or specific industries, but these aren't standard.

How to save money

Free trial strategy:

  • 30-day trial gives full Flex features
  • Use it to test with real (non-confidential) documents
  • Evaluate if storage limits will work before committing
  • Don't waste trial on setup - have documents ready to test immediately

Annual commitment negotiation (Enterprise):

  • Enterprise contracts are negotiable
  • Commit to 12-24 months for better pricing
  • Ask about multi-year discounts (10-20% possible)
  • Negotiate based on expected deal volume

Bundle multiple data rooms:

  • If you run multiple concurrent transactions, negotiate volume pricing
  • Some customers report 15-30% discounts for committing to 3+ active rooms

Off-peak signup:

  • End of quarter (March, June, September, December) sales teams may be more flexible
  • End of year (November-December) sometimes brings better terms

Startup programs:

  • Drooms doesn't advertise a formal startup program
  • If you're backed by known VCs, mention it - may unlock better terms
  • Some accelerators have partnerships (ask your program manager)

Educational/non-profit pricing:

  • Not publicly offered
  • Academic institutions may request custom pricing
  • Non-profits can inquire but shouldn't expect automatic discounts

Negotiation tips for Enterprise

Do your homework:

  • Get quotes from Firmex, Ansarada, and other VDR competitors first
  • Use competitive pricing as leverage
  • Know your actual storage and user requirements

Be specific about needs:

  • "We run 4 transactions per year, average 30 GB each"
  • "We need 8 internal users, typically 20-30 external viewers per deal"
  • Specificity helps them price accurately and reduces back-and-forth

Ask about:

  • Month-to-month after initial commitment
  • Scaling pricing (what if we need more users mid-contract)
  • Pause options if deal flow stops
  • Early termination terms

Don't accept first quote:

  • Enterprise pricing is always negotiable
  • Push back on annual minimums if you have seasonal deal flow
  • Ask what flexibility exists

How to calculate your true cost

Base price is just the start. Here's how to calculate what you'll actually pay for Drooms.

Step 1: Base subscription

If choosing Flex:

  • Count actual users who need internal access: ___ users
  • Estimate total storage needed: ___ GB
  • Calculate storage-based licenses: ___ GB ÷ 0.3 GB = ___ licenses
  • Take the higher number (users or storage licenses)
  • Multiply by €17.90/month

Example: 3 users but need 2 GB storage

  • Users: 3
  • Storage licenses: 2 GB ÷ 0.3 = 6.67, round up to 7 licenses
  • You need: 7 licenses (not 3) = €125.30/month

If choosing Enterprise:

  • Request 2-3 quotes from competitors first
  • Contact Drooms sales with specific requirements
  • Negotiate based on competitive pricing
  • Typical range: €500-3,000/month depending on scale

Step 2: Add-ons and extras

For Flex:

  • No add-ons available (just add more user licenses for storage)

For Enterprise:

  • Custom integrations: €2,000-10,000 one-time (if needed)
  • Enhanced SLA: €100-500/month (if available)
  • Additional training beyond included hours: €200-300/hour
  • Extended storage beyond contracted amount: negotiate per TB

Step 3: Implementation

Setup time investment:

  • Self-setup on Flex: 2-4 hours (free, your time)
  • Enterprise onboarding: included in contract (typically 4-8 hours of training)
  • Custom configuration: €1,000-5,000 if needed beyond standard setup

Training costs:

  • Flex: self-service only (documentation and videos)
  • Enterprise: included training sessions (limited hours), additional at €200-300/hour

Migration from existing VDR:

  • Manual document migration: your team's time (8-40 hours depending on volume)
  • Drooms doesn't offer migration services in standard packages

Step 4: Ongoing costs

Monthly/annual subscription:

  • Flex: €17.90 × licenses × 12 months
  • Enterprise: annual contract value (€6,000-36,000+ typical range)

Support and maintenance:

  • Included in both plans (no additional cost)
  • Enterprise gets dedicated CSM

User turnover:

  • Flex: just remove/add users monthly, no penalty
  • Enterprise: covered in unlimited user contract

Storage growth:

  • Flex: add licenses at €17.90 each for 300 MB more
  • Enterprise: typically unlimited within reason, overage fees possible

Example calculation: Small M&A team

Scenario: 5 internal users, need 5 GB storage, running 3 deals per year

Flex option:

  • 5 GB ÷ 0.3 GB = 17 licenses needed
  • 17 × €17.90 = €304.30/month
  • Annual: €3,651.60
  • Setup: 3 hours (free)
  • First year total: €3,651.60

Enterprise option:

  • Base contract: €700/month (negotiated quote)
  • Annual: €8,400
  • Setup included
  • Unlimited storage and users
  • First year total: €8,400

For this scenario: Flex is cheaper but you're paying for 17 licenses when you only have 5 users. Enterprise costs more but makes more sense if you need room to grow or value the support.

Example calculation: Fundraising team

Scenario: 3 users, need 1.5 GB storage for pitch materials

Flex option:

  • 1.5 GB ÷ 0.3 GB = 5 licenses needed
  • 5 × €17.90 = €89.50/month
  • Annual: €1,074
  • First year total: €1,074

Ellty option:

  • Business plan: $50/month flat
  • Annual: $600
  • First year total: $600 (€545)

Savings with Ellty: €529 (49%)

Hidden costs to remember

  • Currency conversion fees on euro pricing (1-3% for non-euro credit cards)
  • Time spent managing storage limits on Flex (constantly monitoring, deleting old files)
  • Premium for German-based hosting (higher than US-based alternatives)
  • No automatic backups to external storage (need to manually download for archives)
  • Team time learning system (8-12 hours across team on Flex, included training on Enterprise)

Compare this to alternatives:

Before committing, get quotes from:

  • Ellty (if fundraising-focused): $0-50/month flat rate
  • Firmex (if M&A-focused): $500/month room-based
  • DocSend (if document sharing): $10/user/month

Run the same calculation for each and compare total first-year cost including setup and ongoing fees.

Drooms vs Ellty

When Ellty makes sense

You should use Ellty instead of Drooms if:

  • You're fundraising (seed through Series B) and primarily sharing pitch decks
  • You need investor analytics but not full M&A due diligence features
  • Your team is 2-10 people and you want flat pricing
  • You want to avoid per-user costs that scale with team size
  • You need good-enough security without enterprise VDR complexity
  • You're budget-conscious and don't have $6,000-10,000/year for VDR software

When to stick with Drooms

Drooms makes more sense if:

  • You're running actual M&A transactions with 1,000+ documents
  • You need enterprise compliance (SOC 2, ISO certifications)
  • You require SSO and advanced security controls
  • You're managing multiple concurrent deals with complex permission structures
  • You have budget for dedicated customer success and priority support
  • Your use case is primarily due diligence, not fundraising

Migration is simple

Switching from Drooms to Ellty takes about 30 minutes:

  1. Export your documents from Drooms (download all files)
  2. Upload pitch decks and key docs to Ellty
  3. Create trackable links for investors
  4. Share new links (old Drooms links will expire when you cancel)

No data loss, no complex migration. If you're mid-fundraise, you can run both in parallel for one month to transition smoothly.

Does Drooms charge for implementation or onboarding?

Flex is self-service (no implementation fees). Enterprise includes onboarding and training in the contract. Custom implementation work (integrations, complex configurations) may be billed separately at €200-300/hour.

Can I cancel anytime?

Flex: yes, cancel anytime with no penalty. You're only billed for the current month. Enterprise: typically requires 12-month commitment. Check your contract for early termination terms.

Does Drooms have an API?

Not documented publicly for Flex plan. Enterprise customers likely have API access. If you need API integration, ask during sales process and confirm it's included in your contract.

Does Drooms have a mobile app?

Yes. iOS and Android apps available for viewing documents and analytics on mobile. Full administrative features work better on desktop browser. Investors can view shared documents on mobile without downloading app.

Are there limits on storage or documents?

Flex: 300 MB storage per user license (very limited). No document count limit, just total file size. Enterprise: unlimited storage. Both plans support all common file types (PDF, Office docs, images, videos).

Do I need to pay per user or can I share one account?

Flex charges per user. Each team member who needs to upload, manage, or administer documents needs their own license. External viewers (investors, buyers, partners) are free - they don't count as users. Enterprise has unlimited internal users in contract. Don't try to share login credentials - it's against terms and creates security/audit log issues.

What happens if I exceed my plan limits?

Flex: if you hit 300 MB per user, you need to either delete files or buy another user license for €17.90/month to get 300 MB more storage. No option to buy storage separately. Enterprise: unlimited storage in standard contracts, but extreme usage beyond normal ranges might trigger conversation.

Does Drooms offer refunds?

Flex is month-to-month, so no refunds needed - just cancel before next billing cycle. Enterprise annual contracts typically don't offer refunds for unused time if you cancel early. Some contracts may have 30-day money-back guarantee - confirm during negotiation.
