How does ShareAndGo compare to Firmex?

Firmex is a well-established, advisor-focused VDR known for unlimited users and simplicity, but it is quote-led, billed annually or per-transaction, hosted in North America, and is not an AI-native platform. ShareAndGo matches the core security (AES-256 at rest, audit logging, watermarking, view-only access) and adds Gemini AI OCR, AI PII redaction, and native Claude/ChatGPT (MCP) connectors on every plan, at flat, public AUD pricing from $59/month with a free tier.

Is Firmex cheaper than ShareAndGo?

Firmex does not publish flat public pricing; third-party data puts a typical Firmex subscription around AU$7,800/year, or per-transaction for one-off deals, usually after a sales conversation. ShareAndGo is flat and public from $59/month, month-to-month, with a free tier; no quote required.

Does Firmex have AI document features?

Firmex's strengths are simplicity and unlimited users, not AI. ShareAndGo includes AI OCR and search, AI summaries and tagging, AI PII redaction (TFN, ABN, BSB), and native Model Context Protocol connectors so Claude and ChatGPT can work with a room directly, included on all plans.

Where is my data stored?

Firmex hosts primarily in North American and EU data centres. ShareAndGo runs entirely in Google Cloud's Sydney (australia-southeast1) region, Australian Privacy Principles compliant by default, with data that never leaves Australia.

ShareAndGo vs Firmex

Firmex is a trusted name with advisors and lawyers. ShareAndGo gives you the same deal-room essentials plus AI on every plan, flat public AUD pricing, and Sydney data residency; you're sharing files in five minutes, not after a sales call.

Where Firmex is genuinely good

Firmex has earned its reputation: simple to use, unlimited users on every plan, and trusted by accounting firms, law firms, and advisors for over 15 years. If you run dozens of concurrent deals with large teams, it's a credible choice.

ShareAndGo's edge is for Australian firms who want AI built in (not bolted on), transparent flat pricing they can see before they sign up, and data that stays in Sydney. You can be live in a free room in five minutes and decide for yourself.

Public pricing vs "request a quote"

Firmex pricing is arranged through a conversation: annual subscription or per-transaction, scoped to your deal. That's fine for a planned M&A process, but it's friction for an SMB tax audit or a one-off due diligence you need running today.

ShareAndGo Professional: $59/month, flat and public. Sign up, drag files in, share. Cancel any time.
