PeonyWhy teams choose Peony over MASV
MASV was built for moving large media files between post-production teams. Modern deal workflows and document sharing demand persistent data rooms, granular security, and AI-powered document intelligence.
Persistent data rooms
MASV transfers files once and the job is done — there is no persistent document library. Peony lets you organize files into structured, branded data rooms that stay available to your investors and partners as long as you need.
Document security
MASV has no access controls, no watermarks, and no screenshot protection. Peony blocks screen captures, stamps every page with the viewer's identity, and gates access behind NDAs to keep your deal documents confidential.
Viewer analytics
MASV tells you a file was downloaded — nothing more. Peony shows you which pages each viewer read, how long they spent per slide, and their total engagement time. Prioritize follow-ups with real data, not guesswork.
Predictable pricing
MASV charges per GB downloaded — costs scale unpredictably with every transfer. Peony offers a free plan ($0) with 2 GB of storage. Pro ($20/admin/mo) adds e-signatures and 200 GB. Business ($40/admin/mo) adds data rooms and all security features with no per-download fees.
Pricing comparison
Peony gives you data rooms, page-by-page analytics, screenshot protection, and AI document chat — all at a fixed monthly price. MASV charges per GB with no document management features at any price.

What Peony gives you that MASV does not
Protect your documents beyond the transfer
MASV delivers files with no controls over what happens after download. Anyone who receives your files can copy, screenshot, and forward them freely. Peony blocks screen captures and stamps every page with the viewer's identity and timestamp — so if a document leaks, you know exactly who shared it.
Screenshot protection
Block screen captures of sensitive documents. MASV has no post-delivery controls — once files are downloaded, they can be screenshotted and shared without restriction.
Dynamic watermarks
Every page stamped with the viewer's email and timestamp. Trace the source of any leak instantly — something a file transfer tool like MASV cannot do.
NDA-gated access
Require investors to sign an NDA before they see a single page. Built-in e-signatures make it seamless — no separate signing tool needed. MASV has no access gating.
Know exactly which slides your investors care about
MASV tells you a file was downloaded — nothing more. Peony shows you which pages were read, how long each investor spent per slide, and their total viewing time. Prioritize your follow-up calls based on real engagement data, not guesswork.
Let investors ask questions and get instant answers
MASV has no AI capabilities — it is a file delivery pipe with no document intelligence. Peony's AI document chat lets investors and partners ask questions about your data room and receive instant, accurate answers pulled directly from your documents — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Close deals faster by removing information bottlenecks.
"Peony is a great example of a customer-obsessed company with a fantastic sense of design and UX. We moved on from Docsend in the first week — what we are really excited about is what all Peony does next."

Frequently asked questions
Is Peony a good MASV alternative for production companies that need document tracking?
It depends on your use case. MASV is a file transfer tool optimized for moving large media files like dailies and screeners between post-production teams. If production companies or studios need persistent, tracked sharing of screeners, licensing agreements, or content catalogs with distributors and buyers, Peony is the better choice. Peony starts free with per-page analytics and link expiry. The Business plan ($40/admin/month) adds data rooms, screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA gating, and AI document chat — all backed by AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and SOC 2-ready, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance.
What is the difference between Peony and MASV for media workflows?
MASV is a large file transfer service that charges per GB downloaded — it moves screeners and dailies from point A to point B with no tracking after delivery. Peony is a complete data room where licensing agreements, content catalogs, and screeners live permanently in secure, organized rooms with viewer analytics, watermarks, and access controls. Studios can see exactly which distributors or buyers opened their content and which sections they reviewed. Peony is built for content distribution, media M&A, and licensing deal workflows.
Can production companies use Peony for large file sharing with distributors?
Yes. Peony supports file uploads and sharing within its data rooms. The Free plan includes 2 GB of storage, Pro offers 200 GB, and Business provides 1 TB — enough for screeners, dailies, and full content packages. Unlike MASV, Peony gives production companies and studios persistent data rooms with page-by-page analytics and security controls, so they can track which distributors and buyers engaged with their content rather than relying on one-time file transfers.
Does MASV have document analytics or access controls for content distribution?
No. MASV is purely a file transfer tool — it has no document analytics, no access controls, no watermarks, and no viewer tracking. Once a screener or licensing agreement is delivered, studios have no visibility into how distributors or buyers interacted with it. Peony provides page-by-page analytics on every plan. Pro ($20/admin/month) adds password protection. Business ($40/admin/month) adds dynamic watermarks, screenshot protection, controlled redaction for territory-specific pricing, and NDA gating to keep pre-release content secure and trackable.
How does Peony pricing compare to MASV for a post-production house?
Peony starts free ($0) with 2 GB of storage and per-page analytics — with no per-viewer, per-page, or per-link limits on any plan. Pro ($20/admin/month, 200 GB) adds e-signatures for licensing agreements and password protection. Business ($40/admin/month, 1 TB) adds data rooms, screenshot protection, watermarks, NDA gating, and AI chat. MASV charges $0.25 per GB downloaded on pay-as-you-go or $0.15 per GB on the Teams plan — costs that scale unpredictably every time a distributor or reviewer downloads screeners or dailies.
Can MASV replace a data room for media licensing and catalog deals?
No. MASV is a file transfer tool with no document management, no access controls, and no analytics. For content catalog deals and media licensing, studios need a platform like Peony that provides structured data rooms, page-by-page engagement tracking showing which buyers reviewed which territories, NDA gating, AI document chat for answering distributor questions from your licensing documents, and AI-generated checklists — features that MASV does not offer.
Does Peony have AI features for media document workflows that MASV does not?
Yes. Peony includes AI document chat that lets distributors, buyers, and reviewers ask questions about your content catalog, territory rights, or licensing terms and get instant answers from your documents. Peony also offers AI-powered Smart Q&A — a 4-step workflow where buyers submit questions, AI drafts answers from your licensing agreements and deal documents, your team reviews, and approved responses are published. MASV has no AI capabilities — it is a transfer pipe with no document intelligence.
Can a media team migrate from MASV to Peony for secure content distribution?
Yes. Peony is designed for quick setup — production companies can create their first data room in under 5 minutes. Upload screeners, licensing agreements, and content catalogs, configure security settings like watermarks and NDA gating, and share a single link with distributors or buyers. Peony replaces the need for a separate file transfer tool by giving studios persistent, secure data rooms with full analytics on every shared document.
