Box is a popular cloud content management and collaboration platform. It offers unlimited storage and strong integrations, but its pricing model is geared more toward general business use than specialized dealmaking.

Per-user pricing: Costs scale quickly as teams grow.
Not purpose-built for deals: Primarily designed as a cloud storage and collaboration tool.
Why Choose Plox Over Box

While Box is priced lower, it was built as a general content management system. Plox is designed specifically for secure dealmaking and investor workflows. That’s why it offers features Box doesn’t:
AI-Integrated Data Rooms: Automatically scan pitch decks and create editable dashboards with investor-ready insights.
Unlimited Data Rooms: Unlike Box’s storage-centric model, Plox gives unlimited, dedicated data rooms.
Investor-Ready Controls: Passcode protection, email verification, NDA gating, and viewer tracking built for fundraising and M&A.
Custom Branding: White-label domains and fully branded investor experiences.
Advanced Analytics: See who viewed which page, how long they stayed, and who returned to your deck.
Priority Support: 24/7 availability on higher tiers, faster resolution compared to Box’s standard business support.
Flat Scaling Model: Upload unlimited documents with no hidden per-file restrictions.
