Why UK teams switch
The same idea, closer to home.
Tracked, gated document links with page-by-page analytics are the shared ground. Here is what you get on top when you run them from a UK-built tool.
02
Priced in pounds, not per seat
A flat monthly price in GBP. No per-user surcharges and no dollar exchange on your card, which usually works out cheaper for a small team.
03
A free tier, not a trial
Three data rooms and twenty-five active links, forever. No card, no countdown. If that is all you need, that is genuinely all you need.
04
E-signature included
Design a form on your PDF, assign fields to signers and send. Every executed document carries an audit certificate: signer IP, intent-to-sign consent, timestamps and a SHA-256 fingerprint.
05
Real gating and revocation
Verified-email one-time codes, NDA acceptance before viewing on Business, link expiry, max views and one-click revocation that cuts access the instant a deal closes.
06
Proof of who looked
Page-by-page dwell time, completion and revisits per recipient, kept in a 24-month audit trail. You see which investor or buyer actually read to the end.
