Raiz’d and Peony both turn documents into tracked links with page-level analytics, NDA-gated data rooms, and eSignature. The difference is who they’re built for: Peony is an AI-native data room aimed at deal teams (founders, but also funds and boutique M&A), with viewer-facing AI Q&A over your documents; Raiz’d is a fundraising OS for founders that wraps the deck in an investor CRM, recurring investor updates, and network benchmarks — and unlocks data rooms, watermarking, and white-label far cheaper.
You’re a founder who wants to run the whole raise — deck analytics, an investor pipeline, and updates — in one tool, with a free tier that has no link-expiry wall.
Your primary need is an AI data room you can chat with for diligence, and you don’t need a built-in investor CRM or recurring investor updates.
Peony prices PER ADMIN, so a multi-person team multiplies the per-admin figure; Raiz’d Scale is a flat workspace price with team seats included. Peony figures are the annual-billing rates from peony.ink/pricing (monthly is higher: Pro $30, Business $50). “Made with Peony” branding is removed only on Business — free and Pro both carry it; on Raiz’d white-label starts at $19/mo Pro. Raiz’d prices are in USD.
Being honest about where Peony is the stronger choice:
Moving from Peony to Raiz’d is a re-upload — there is no automated importer, and analytics history does not transfer.
Effort: Under an hour for a typical account: re-upload your PDFs and recreate your links — old Peony links can’t be redirected, so re-send active ones; historical analytics don’t transfer.
No. Peony is a modern, AI-native data room with viewer-facing Q&A. It does not include an investor CRM/pipeline or recurring investor updates with live metrics — Raiz’d includes both, in addition to deck links and data rooms.
Peony’s free plan includes 1 admin, 2 GB, 50 files, page-level analytics and ~10 AI credits a month, but free-plan links expire and shared documents carry a “Made with Peony” badge through the Pro tier. Raiz’d’s free plan allows unlimited decks and links with no expiry (with a “Powered by Raiz’d” badge that any paid plan removes).
For a solo founder, Raiz’d is typically cheaper: removing branding is $19/mo on Raiz’d vs Business ($40–50/admin/mo) on Peony, and a data room is a flat $59/mo on Raiz’d vs Peony’s per-admin Business tier. Peony’s per-admin pricing also multiplies as you add teammates.
Yes — Peony’s viewer-facing AI Q&A (chat with a data room or document) and AI indexing/redaction are genuine strengths Raiz’d does not match inside the room. Raiz’d’s AI is founder-side: it drafts agent-ready deck briefs and exposes an MCP server so your own AI agent can query your analytics.
Yes — page-level analytics are available on Peony from the free tier, the same as Raiz’d’s per-slide tracking. Raiz’d additionally layers “you vs. the network” benchmarks on top.
Switch if you want a fundraising pipeline and investor updates alongside deck tracking, a free tier without an expiry wall, and cheaper white-label/data rooms. Stay on Peony if your core need is an AI data room you can chat with for diligence.
Deck analytics, an investor pipeline, and updates in one place — starting free, no link-expiry wall.
