Prepared for founder-led B2B SaaS sales
One room per buyer
One link that holds the whole deal, instead of eleven emails they have to search.
Put the recording, the pricing, the security answers and the plan to a decision on one branded page. Send the link. See which parts they actually read before your next call.

What they read
3 readers
Everything in one page
Text sections and links to what you already have. The buyer forwards one URL internally instead of a thread with four attachments and a correction.
A plan with owners
The steps between now and a decision, who owns each one, and what is already done. This is the part that travels to the people you never meet.
What they read
Section-level opens and dwell time. Walking into the next call knowing they spent three minutes on pricing is a different call.
The cost of the thread
What it costs to leave the deal in the thread
The champion has to rebuild your pitch
The recording is in one email, pricing in another, the security answers in a PDF somebody forwarded. The person selling you internally is the person who has to find all of it again, for people who never met you.
You walk into the next call blind
Without knowing what was opened, you ask questions the buyer already answered and skip the one thing they read three times. The call is spent re-covering ground instead of moving.
Silence tells you nothing
A deal that goes quiet could have stalled on price, on the security review, or on a colleague who was never shown anything. Chasing all three at once is how a follow-up starts sounding desperate.
Procedure
How it works
Three steps, no account, and the first one starts with what you already have open in another tab.
Put the deal on one page
Paste the links you already have: the Loom, the pricing doc, the security answers. Add the steps between now and a decision, with an owner on each.
DraftCall recordingPricingAdd a sectionPublish and send one link
Publishing gives you an unlisted address for the room. Send that instead of the next attachment. Your buyer opens a page, not a download.

Anyone with the link can read it. No login for them either.
Read the room before the call
You see which sections were opened and for how long, per visit. Not who they are, not their mouse: what was read, which is the part that changes the next conversation.

Terms
Flat price, whole company
Deal room tools price per seat, so the bill grows every time you hand a room to somebody else on your side. This one does not count seats at all.
Free
$0
The whole engine, with no account:
- Build and publish rooms, unlimited
- Sections, links and the mutual action plan
- Share by link
- See who opened it and what they read
Team
$29 per month, flat
For running this every week:
- Your rooms saved to an account, on every device
- View history that accumulates instead of resetting
- No seat count and no seat minimum
- Cancel whenever, no annual lock-in
The free tool above is not a trial and does not expire. Rooms you have already built come across when you sign in.
Position
Why DealPage
One reason, and it is about the shape of the bill rather than a feature list.
| Billing shape | Per person | Three people |
|---|---|---|
| DealPage, flatMonthly, no annual commit. No seats counted at all, so no seat minimum. No setup fee. | n/a | $29 |
| Aligned Basic, per seatTheir paid entry tier, monthly billing, which is the view their pricing page opens on. No seat minimum published. No setup fee. | $35.00 | $105 |
| Aligned Basic, annual commitThe same tier on their "Save 18%" toggle, billed for a year. No seat minimum published. No setup fee. | $29.00 | $87 |
$29 a month, however many people on your side touch a room. Handing a deal to a colleague, adding a founder to the thread and letting an ops person tidy a plan all cost nothing, because nothing here counts seats. Aligned bills by the seat on both of its paid tiers, so that bill grows when your team does rather than when your usage does. The bottom row is the honest comparison to make if you are happy to commit for a year: their per-seat price then matches this one, and the difference is the seat count, not the number.
What that does not mean
- It does not mean cheapest.
- Aligned publishes a free tier, and no seat cap on it appears on the card, in their comparison table or in their FAQ. Papermark is open source, so if you are willing to host it yourself the floor in this category is zero. At one person on your side, nothing here beats either of those on price.
- It does not mean more features.
- There is no e-signature and no CRM sync. Rooms can now be served on your own domain, which is one of the three absences sellers in this category named below, and it is on the $29 plan rather than behind an upgrade. The other two are absent and it is honest to know that before you send a link, not after.
- It is worth something specifically when more than one person on your side is in the deal.
- If you sell alone and always will, a free tier somewhere else may genuinely suit you better.

What sellers say about deal rooms
Not testimonials. Nobody below has used DealPage, and there are no customers to quote yet. Each line is our own summary of a public comment by a seller in r/sales about the category this product is in, with a link to the comment itself so you can read what they actually wrote. They are summarised rather than quoted because the words are theirs and they did not agree to appear here. Most of them are complaints.
Was sceptical until their company bought Aligned, and is now won over: the buyer no longer receives a mail carrying four attachments and three links, or has to dig through weeks-old messages to find one of them.
A seller, r/sales, June 2025
Dismisses the category outright, as no better than a shared folder and of no use to anyone: one more thing for a buyer to track, standing in for the seller understanding what the other side actually needs and what their organisation is like.
A seller, r/sales, June 2025
Reports that the link sometimes lands in a buyer’s junk mail, and that clients are suspicious of a room that arrives under some other company’s name rather than the seller’s own. Would rather handle it in-house.
A seller, r/sales, March 2026
Grants that a room is a great way to assemble something bespoke for a deal, and says flatly that building one eats far too much time.
A seller, r/sales, March 2026
Has closed a million dollars plus and several six-figure deals, and says well over half of those buyers never logged into the room at all. The ones who did stayed under two minutes on any single screen, mostly the first one, and rates the whole category as badly oversold.

What we did with that, and what is still on you
- The inbox complaint is the one this tool exists for: one link, one page, the material in the order the buyer needs it.
- Rooms that take too long to build are why the builder starts empty and publishes in about two minutes, with no template library to learn first.
- The room that nobody opens is a real objection to this whole category, ours included. It is why what you get back is section-level reading rather than a dashboard: if nobody opened it, you find that out immediately instead of waiting.
- Fixed The link a buyer receives can now be on your domain rather than ours. Connect a hostname you control, add one TXT record to prove it is yours and one CNAME record to point it here, and your rooms are served on it. It is on the $29 plan and not an upgrade. What is still on you: you need a domain you can add DNS records to, and until they resolve your rooms keep being served here. And the other half of that complaint is still not ours to answer, so we will not imply it is: we do not send the email, so nothing here has any effect on whether it lands in an inbox or in junk mail.
Straight answers
Questions with a yes or a no in front of them
- Do I need an account to build a room?
- No. Build it, publish it, send the link and see who opened it, all without signing up. An account is what keeps your rooms across devices with their view history, and that is the paid plan.
- Can the buyer sign inside the room?
- No. There is no e-signature in DealPage and we are not going to imply otherwise. If a signature has to happen inside the room, we are not the right tool for that deal yet.
- Does it sync with HubSpot or Salesforce?
- No. There are no CRM integrations. Rooms are built and shared from here, and nothing is written back into your CRM.
- Where do my files live?
- Wherever they already live. You paste a link to a Loom, a Google Doc, a Figma file or a PDF and the room presents it. We do not host a second copy that quietly goes out of date.
- Who can see a room?
- Anyone with the link. Room addresses are ten random characters and every room asks search engines not to index it, so a room is unlisted rather than secret. Do not put anything in one that would hurt if it were forwarded, because forwarding is the point.
- What does the buyer see about tracking?
- The room records which sections were open and for how long, per anonymous session. It does not record who they are, their IP, or their mouse. You see what was read, not who read it, unless they told you.
Who prepared this
Who is building this
DealPage is built by Dario Verghi at LeanAI Studio, a one-person studio that builds a small number of narrow tools and tests each one in public. This is a new product in its validation window: the tool above is real and runs in your browser now, the subscription is open, and both of those statements will stay accurate on this page as they change.
There is no customer list to show you here, because there are no customers yet. The section above quotes sellers talking about this category in public, which is a different thing and is labelled as one. When there are customers, their words go here and not before.
One person builds and answers for this, which is a real limit on how fast it can change rather than a marketing line. If something on this page is wrong, writing to dario@leanaistudio.com reaches the person who wrote it.
Put your next deal on one page and see what they read.
One person builds this and answers every message about it, so there is a real ceiling on how much hand-holding a new account can have at once. That is a limit rather than a countdown: there is no seat counter and no deadline on this page, and when the limit stops being true this sentence comes off.
