Three things no other data room will do for you
Most data rooms treat partners as a line item. The three promises below are the ones the rest of the category will not make.
Up to 30%
You get paid every month, not once.
Up to 30% of everything your referral pays us, on monthly and annual plans alike, for two full years per account. The rest of the category pays a one-time bounty or a gift card, if they pay anything at all.
20% off
You bring a discount, not a pitch.
Everyone you refer gets 20% off their first three months, on any tier. You're not asking your audience for a favour, you're handing them a deal.
20 → 30%
Your commissions compound.
Start at 20%. Hit 15 active referrals and every new one pays 25%. Hit 30 and it's 30%. The more customers you send, the more each one is worth, and a slow quarter never knocks you back down overnight.
Built for the people founders already trust
M&A advisors and boutique banks
Your clients need a data room the week the mandate signs. One recommendation, recurring commission on every deal that follows.
VCs, PE and accelerators
Every portfolio company raising or reporting needs one. Commission, or a portfolio-wide deal instead, your choice.
Fundraising consultants and pitch coaches
The data room conversation is already part of your process. Now it pays you back, deal after deal.
Startup lawyers and deal advisors
Your clients ask you what to use for diligence. The answer can earn for two years.
Cap-table platforms and founder communities
One link in your resources page or perks list, working for every member who raises.
Agencies and tech partners
Your clients share proposals and decks every week. Papermark makes that trackable, and makes you recurring revenue.
Three tiers. Everyone starts at Bronze.
You climb on the customers you send. Reviewed every month, and your rate only ever moves up while you're growing.
| Bronze | Silver | Gold | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission | 20% | 25% | 30% |
| Active referrals | 0 to 14 | 15 to 29 | 30 or more |
| Paid for | 24 months per account | 24 months per account | 24 months per account |
Landed one large account instead of many small ones? Revenue counts too, talk to us.
Reviewed monthly.
Cross a threshold and your rate goes up the following cycle.
One quarter of grace.
If you slip below, you keep your tier for a full quarter before anything changes. We are not looking for reasons to cut your rate.
Your rate applies going forward.
Accounts referred at Bronze keep paying Bronze. Accounts referred after you hit Gold pay Gold.
What that's actually worth
Here is what one referred account pays you over its first two years, at our published annual prices.
| They buy | Bronze 20% | Silver 25% | Gold 30% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business· €59/mo | €283 | €354 | €425 |
| Data Rooms· €99/mo | €475 | €594 | €713 |
| Data Rooms Plus· €249/mo | €1,195 | €1,494 | €1,793 |
| Data Rooms Unlimited· €999/mo | €4,795 | €5,994 | €7,193 |
Two years of commission, calculated on annual billing — our lowest price. Monthly billing pays you more. Both are covered.
An accelerator that moves ten portfolio companies onto Data Rooms Plus earns €17,930 at Gold. That is ten emails.

We checked every data room in the category. Here's what they pay partners.
Nine programs, researched in September 2026 from public sources. Six pay partners nothing at all. Not one pays a recurring commission. Two used to publish their rates and quietly deleted them.
| Program | Cash to you | Recurring | Tracked link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Papermark | Up to 30% | 24 months | Yes |
| DocSend (Dropbox) | None | No | No |
| iDeals | None | No | No |
| Datasite | None | No | No |
| Ansarada | None | No | No |
| Firmex | $50 gift card, paused | No | No |
| DealRoom | Flat bounty | No | No |
| Digify | One-time payout | No | No |
| FirmRoom | None | No | No |
Researched September 2026 from public sources. If any of this changes we'll update the table rather than take it down.

Questions
An account you referred that is on a paid plan and past its refund window. Free accounts and trials count once they convert.
Twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th, with no minimum payout. Each commission clears a 30-day window first, which covers refunds and chargebacks.
Commission on that specific account stops. Every new account you refer starts its own 24 months. The program pays you for bringing new business.
Yes, as long as the upgrade happens inside your 90-day attribution window.
Yes. Your commission is a percentage of what they actually pay, so if they move up a plan in month four, your payout moves with them for the remaining months.
Automatically. 15 active referrals moves you to Silver at 25%, 30 moves you to Gold at 30%. Reviewed monthly, and your new rate applies from the next cycle.
Yes. Get in touch. We'll set something up that benefits your portfolio companies instead of paying you a commission.
You need a Papermark account, that's where your partner dashboard lives, and the free plan is enough. The partners who earn the most are the ones who use it.
