A Digify alternative for smaller deals

Updated 2026-10-31. By Vela Partners.

Digify and ArtifactSend compared feature by feature, with Digify prices from its pricing page in October 2026.

The short answer

Digify is a secure data room with strong controls: screen shield, print and download permissions, folder permissions and a Q and A module, from $140 a month and no free plan. ArtifactSend is free, with folders, an NDA, a watermark and reading reports, and it lacks Digify's screen shield, download controls and per-folder permissions for now. Pick Digify for a large, sensitive process. Pick ArtifactSend for a raise, a board pack or a client room.
