Why teams switch from OneHub to Peony

OneHub is a solid file-sharing platform. But modern teams need AI intelligence, granular analytics, and advanced security that traditional VDRs cannot provide.

AI document chat

Peony lets recipients ask questions about shared documents and get instant AI-powered answers 24/7. OneHub has no AI features — recipients must read everything manually.

Page-level analytics

See which pages investors read, how long they spent, and what they focused on. OneHub only tracks file-level activity — Peony gives you page-by-page detail.

Modern security

Screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA gating, 2FA, and link expiry are built into Peony. OneHub relies on traditional permissions without these modern safeguards.

Free tier included

Peony starts free with 2 GB of storage. OneHub has no free plan — their data room tier starts at $375 per month. Try Peony risk-free with no credit card required.

Peony gives you AI document chat, screenshot protection, and page-by-page analytics — all at a fraction of OneHub's data room pricing.

Advanced document security

Security that goes beyond permissions

OneHub relies on role-based permissions and watermarking. Peony adds screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks tied to viewer identity, NDA gating, 2FA, password protection, and automatic link expiry — securing the entire document lifecycle.

Peony Security Controls

Screenshot protection

Block screen captures of sensitive documents. OneHub has no screenshot blocking — once a document is viewed, it can be captured freely.

Dynamic watermarks

Every page stamped with the viewer's identity and timestamp. If a document leaks, you know exactly who shared it.

NDA-gated access

Require viewers to sign an NDA before accessing documents. Built-in e-signatures make it seamless — no separate tool needed.
