ShareAndGo vs Datasite: a deal platform for the biggest transactions, or a data room sized to yours.

Datasite quotes each transaction. ShareAndGo offers flat monthly pricing, with a room running in minutes.

Datasite calls itself the essential infrastructure for M&A, and it backs that up with a wide product family: preparation tools, a diligence data room, private-market data, board software and AI that works across the deal. If you run sell-side mandates at an investment bank, it is built with you in mind.

ShareAndGo comes at the problem from the other end. It is a data room for CPA firms, advisors and companies that need tight control over who sees what, a full record of activity and a setup that one person can finish the same day. This page sets out where each one fits.

The short answer

Choose Datasite when the transaction is large, cross-border or run by a bank that wants preparation, diligence, AI translation and redaction, and dedicated human support under one contract. Choose ShareAndGo when you want a secure room you can build yourself, invite outside parties into without creating accounts for them, and run without a project team.

Quoted pricing

Datasite quotes each transaction individually, so you will not know the cost until you ask.

ShareAndGo or Datasite: who should choose what

Choose ShareAndGo if…

  • You want flat pricing without a quoted contract
  • You are an SMB or advisor, not a global investment bank
  • You value flat monthly pricing

Choose Datasite if…

  • You are running large, complex cross-border M&A at a bank or major advisory
  • You need the deepest enterprise deal-lifecycle tooling at global scale
  • If your bank or advisor already runs its deals on Datasite, use the room they set up. Bidders will expect it.
  • If you need AI translation for overseas bidders or redaction across thousands of pages, Datasite lists both as built-in capabilities.
  • If you are the seller, the CPA or the in-house lead and want to build the room yourself this afternoon, ShareAndGo is the simpler fit.
  • If the process is a loan application, a tax examination or a small raise rather than an auction, a full deal platform is more than you need.

Where Datasite is strong

Datasite says it has more than 50 years of experience and that it delivers many of the world's largest and most complex deals. Its home page describes one data room covering buy-side, sell-side, restructuring, financing, IPOs and compliance work, which is the breadth a bank's deal team expects.

Its diligence product leans hard into AI. Datasite describes asking questions across the whole room and getting sourced responses, translating every document for bidders, and redacting sensitive names, figures and clauses across the full document set. It also lists ISO/IEC 42001 certification for AI governance, which it says no data room had before.

Around the room sit tools most smaller firms will never touch: Grata for private-market data, Sherpany for board meetings, and a preparation product that builds folders from a prompt and collects files through a secure link. For a firm doing dozens of mandates a year, having those under one vendor is a genuine advantage.

Where ShareAndGo fits

Most transactions in the United States are not billion-dollar auctions. They are a business owner selling to a strategic buyer, a lender asking for three years of records, an IRS examination or a seed round. ShareAndGo is designed for that work.

You sign in through MyAndGo, create a room, choose whether recipients can download, print or copy, and drag your folders in. Outside parties are grouped by organization, see only the folders their group can open, and read view-only documents rendered as pages stamped with their email address and the date. The original file never reaches their browser.

Every view, upload, download, invitation and change goes into a chained audit log you can export as CSV, and when the process ends you export the room as a ZIP with a document index. Invited recipients never count toward your plan, and view-only rendering, watermarks and the audit log apply on every plan.

Frequently asked questions

How does ShareAndGo compare to Datasite for small firms?
Datasite quotes each transaction individually. It also offers Datasite Prepare, a self-serve tier for preparing a deal, built for M&A advisors, corporate development teams and private equity. ShareAndGo offers data room security and a tamper-evident audit trail at flat monthly pricing built for smaller firms.
How does Datasite price?
Datasite says its pricing is customized for every transaction, so you get a quote rather than a published rate. ShareAndGo charges a flat monthly rate.
Can I set up ShareAndGo without a dedicated project manager?
Yes. Create a room, drag files in, invite people. Working in under 5 minutes. No project managers. Datasite Prepare is also self-serve; live Datasite deals are quoted.
Is ShareAndGo a replacement for Datasite on a large sell-side auction?
Not usually. Datasite's product family, human support and AI translation and redaction are aimed at large, multi-bidder processes. ShareAndGo suits smaller processes where one team runs the room itself.
Do both offer AI inside the room?
Yes, in different depths. Datasite describes questions across the room, translation and redaction. ShareAndGo reads and tags documents, writes summaries, suggests folder structures and can draft Q&A answers for an owner to edit.
Do recipients need an account in ShareAndGo?
No. They confirm their email address with a six-digit code and land in the room.
