## Why teams switch from Peony

- You want a dynamic watermark on the first paid plan, not from the Data Room plan

### What you get with HelpRange

- Share only with specific email addresses, password and expiry
- Block downloading, printing and forwarding
- Dynamic watermark and screenshot protection
- Revoke access or update the file after sending
- Page-by-page analytics, heatmaps and alerts
- PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and video in one viewer

 Fair comparison

## When Peony is the better choice

- You are the only admin: Peony Data Room is $52 a month billed yearly ($75 monthly), HelpRange Max $69 ($87 monthly).
- You want a free plan for documents: Peony Free keeps up to 50 documents with page analytics for one admin; the HelpRange free plan has 15 document views a month.
- You need features HelpRange does not have: AI that builds a data room for you, self-hosting or your own encryption keys (Enterprise).
- Your buyer’s security review asks about SOC 2 or ISO 27001: Peony states both audits are under way; HelpRange has no such report yet.
- A 7-day trial suits you better than the 3-day HelpRange trial.

HelpRange fits better when two or more people work in the account, when you want a dynamic watermark or single sign-on without the higher plans, page heatmaps and session replay, offer pages with “Accept offer”, links locked to one device, or a data room for a single deal.

FAQ

## Peony alternative – questions

What is the best Peony alternative?

HelpRange is a Peony alternative for teams with more than one admin: one price for the whole team, dynamic watermarks from the first paid plan, signed NDAs and Q&A in data rooms on Max ($87 per team per month, $69 billed yearly) and single sign-on without an Enterprise contract.

How much does Peony cost compared with HelpRange?

Peony charges per admin: Business $30, Data Room $52 and Deal Team $64 per admin per month billed yearly ($44, $75 and $89 billed monthly; Deal Team from 4 admins), Enterprise on request (peony.ink/pricing, 14 November 2026). HelpRange charges per team: Pro $39, Max $87 and Unlimited $174 per month ($31, $69 and $139 billed yearly), any number of users.

When is Peony the better choice?

For a single admin: Peony Data Room is $52 a month billed yearly against $69 for HelpRange Max. Peony's free plan also keeps up to 50 documents with page analytics, and Peony lists unlimited storage, AI room generation, self-hosting and bring-your-own-key encryption on its higher plans. From two admins on, HelpRange costs less.

Does Peony have single sign-on?

Peony lists Google and Microsoft sign-in and SAML SSO only on its Enterprise plan, with prices on request. HelpRange includes SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM and single logout in Unlimited ($174 per team per month) and the Deal Room Pass.

Can I lock a link to the recipient's device?

Yes. Set the link's device limit to 1 and turn on e-mail verification: the recipient confirms a one-time code sent to their address, and the link then opens only on the device that opened it first. A device is a browser with a HelpRange cookie, so a different browser, a private window or cleared browser data counts as a new device. Device limits on links are on every plan; on data rooms from Max.

Can I try HelpRange before switching from Peony?

Yes. Start a free trial without a credit card, upload your documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, video) and invite viewers to test every feature.
