Datasite price in pounds
Datasite does not publish a price, and we do not guess one. Any pound figure for Datasite below is our market range for an enterprise project quote of that size, so treat it as a yardstick for the quote you receive, not as Datasite's tariff.
Datasite in pounds: six-month reference room against its nearest rivals
Datasite £4,000+quote range 
Ansarada £4,000+quote range 
iDeals £4,000+quote range 
Firmex £4,000+quote range VAT on a Datasite invoice
Datasite lists its head office in the United States. When a supplier based outside the UK invoices a UK business, the business usually accounts for VAT itself under the reverse charge: no VAT on the invoice, but output and input entries on your own return.
If Datasite bills you through a UK subsidiary instead, 20% is added to the invoice in the ordinary way. Ask which entity will invoice before you sign.
The inc-VAT figures matter most where VAT is not fully recoverable: partly exempt businesses such as many insurers, lenders and residential landlords, charities, and unregistered start-ups. Reverse-charge services also count towards the £90,000 VAT registration threshold for a company that is not yet registered. Your accountant should confirm how this applies to your business.
How the Datasite bill is built
Quote per project or subscription. Enterprise quotes in this tier tend to reflect pages or data volume, the number of months and the support package. Large UK disposals often carry decades of contracts and property records, so ask Datasite how the volume element is measured and what happens if the index grows after launch, which it usually does once buyers send their supplementary requests.

Typical market range for a project quote of this size
£4,800 to £20,000Excluding VAT. Datasite prices by quote; this range is not a Datasite price.
Range from our deal-type budget model: the greater of £4,000 or 12p a page, up to the greater of £12,000 or 50p a page. Indicative only; confirm with the provider.
Datasite cost scenarios: 3, 6 and 12 months
Quote-only pricing does not scale neatly by month, so each row shows our market range for a project of that size, with the page count we assumed. None of these is a Datasite price.
| Users | Pages assumed | Market range, ex VAT | With VAT at 20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5,000 | £4,000 to £12,000 | £4,800 to £14,400 |
| 25 | 30,000 | £4,000 to £15,000 | £4,800 to £18,000 |
| 100 | 80,000 | £9,600 to £40,000 | £11,520 to £48,000 |

UK contract questions before you sign
- Notice period and minimum term. Quotes often fix a minimum number of months. Ask how much notice ends the term early and whether unused months are credited if the deal completes ahead of plan.
- Automatic renewal. Check whether the order form rolls over by itself. Business contracts carry no statutory cooling-off period, so a renewal clause binds as written; diarise the cancellation deadline against your expected completion date.
- Archive at completion. Ask what an encrypted copy of the room costs (a download or a USB set for the completion bible), what format it comes in and how long read-only access lasts after the room closes.
- Deletion under UK GDPR. As your processor, Datasite should delete or return personal data when the service ends, unless law requires it to keep a copy (UK GDPR Article 28(3)(g)). Ask for the deletion timetable, how backups are purged and written confirmation once it is done.
- Governing law and invoice currency. See whether the terms follow the law of England and Wales or a foreign system, and ask to be invoiced in pounds if possible, so a weak pound does not inflate the bill mid-deal.
Evaluating Datasite without a free trial
No free trial is listed for Datasite. Ask for a guided demonstration run on a copy of your own folder structure, and have a second person from your deal team attend so the review is not left to one impression.
Datasite UK cost questions
How much will Datasite cost me in pounds?
Datasite sets prices by quote. For a six-month room of about 10,000 pages, the market range in our model is £4,000 to £12,000 before VAT; that is not a Datasite price, so ask Datasite for a written sterling figure.
Will VAT be added to a Datasite invoice?
With a head office in the United States, an invoice from outside the UK normally carries no VAT and a UK business accounts for it under the reverse charge. A UK subsidiary invoice would include 20%. Ask which applies.
Why is there no published Datasite price?
Like most enterprise rooms, Datasite tailors each quote to volume, term and service level. Our scenario table shows the typical market range for a project quote of each size, clearly not a Datasite figure, so you can tell whether an offer is in the expected band.
What should a UK seller negotiate with Datasite?
The volume measure, a cap on overage, the monthly rate for extra months and the archive at completion. Agree all four in writing before the first bidder logs in, when you still have leverage.
Can I try Datasite before I pay?
No free trial is listed for Datasite in our data. Ask for a guided demonstration on a copy of your own folder index instead.
