DocSend Alternative for VC Data Rooms

DocSend is the go-to for pitch deck sharing, but it is expensive per-user and only solves one problem. Archstone includes a full data room with viewer analytics, shareable links, and password protection — plus LP portal, deal flow, and everything else you need.

Why Archstone

Key differentiators vs DocSend

Data room is included, not an upsell

DocSend charges $150/user/mo for data room access. Archstone includes a full data room with analytics, password protection, and version control in every plan — no per-user pricing.

More than documents

DocSend stops at file sharing. Archstone connects your data room to LP management, deal pipeline, portfolio tracking, and compliance — so documents live in context, not in a silo.

AI-powered document analysis

Upload a pitch deck and Archie analyzes it — extracting key metrics, flagging risks, and generating DD summaries. DocSend just tracks who viewed it.

Purpose-built for fund managers

DocSend is a general-purpose document tool used by sales teams, startups, and VCs alike. Archstone is designed exclusively for fund managers with fund-specific folder templates, LP document workflows, and compliance integration.
