Most rooms with a structured Q&A module, dynamic watermarking and rights control after download are sold through a scoping call. Ellty publishes its entry price instead, at $149 a month, which changes how the purchase works. A CFO or deal lead can put a defensible number into the budget on day one, and the conversation with the vendor starts from a known figure rather than from a discovery questionnaire.

That matters most for sell-side processes and fundraising rounds, where the room has to be open before anyone knows how many bidders or investors will turn up. With a flat monthly figure the invitation list can grow without the price moving, so the only real variable is how long the process runs. This page works through that variable, sets the figure against the providers closest to Ellty, and lists what to confirm before you commit.

How Ellty bills

Ellty lists its price as $149 a month. We read that as a flat monthly entry price: the bill is set by the number of months the room stays open, not by the number of people invited or the number of pages uploaded. That is the opposite of the per-seat logic used by file-sharing tools, and it is also different from the scoped quotes used by most enterprise deal rooms. The practical effect is that a delay costs you one more month at the same rate, which is easy to approve, rather than a renegotiation.

What $149/mo covers

Work out your Ellty bill

Preset to a founder-led company sale: 5 months, 4 users, 8,000 pages. Only the months slider moves this figure.

Ellty cost scenarios

Because the price follows the calendar, the honest way to budget is to plan for slippage. Very few sale processes close on the date in the first timetable. Take the term your adviser expects, add two or three months, and multiply. The grid below does the multiplication for three terms; the team size changes nothing on a flat rate, which is the point.

At $149/mo, USD, pre-tax. Big teams may need a higher tier.

Ellty pricing against its closest rivals

Ansarada, Firmex and iDeals are the profiles most like Ellty on features, scores and billing. Each is costed for the same founder-led company sale.

Provider	Price basis	Trial	This room	Features
Ellty	$149/mo	Yes	$745	8/12
Ansarada	Quote	Yes	Not published	8/12
Firmex	Quote	Yes	Not published	7/12
iDeals	Quote	Yes	Not published	9/12

Ansarada, Firmex and iDeals sell by quote, which leaves Ellty as the one figure in this group you can read today ($745). A quote from them would have to undercut a market estimate of $5,000 to $15,000 before price decides it. Only Ellty lists e-signature in this group. Ellty lacks redaction, single sign-on, which most of them list.

Free trial

Ellty offers a 14-day free trial. Two weeks is enough to load a real index with bulk upload, create permission groups for two imaginary bidders, run a test question through the Q&A workflow and check how the watermark looks on a scanned contract. Doing that before the commercial decision tells you whether the entry tier covers your process, which is worth more than any discount.

Questions to settle before you sign

1. What limits apply to the entry tier on users, storage and number of rooms, and what happens when a limit is reached mid-process?
2. Is the monthly price billed month to month, and is there a notice period to close the room?
3. Which AI features are included at the entry price, and is any room content used to train models?
4. In what format are documents, Q&A threads and the audit log exported at close, and is the export included?

The flat price works best when the process length is uncertain but the scope is clear: a company sale, a growth round, a refinancing with several lenders. If your counterparty insists on single sign-on through its own identity provider or on built-in redaction, those are not in our records for Ellty, so raise them before signing rather than after. For everything else the decision is short: run the trial, count your realistic months, and the budget is done.
