Track 01 · Earn

Three tiers. You move up on volume or on value.

Most programs make you grind out logos. That punishes the partner who lands one serious M&A account over the partner who refers thirty freelancers. So you climb on whichever comes first: the number of active accounts you've referred, or the annual revenue behind them.

	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Commission	20%	25%	30%
Active referrals	0 to 14	15 to 29	30 or more
or referred ARR	under €12,000	€12,000+	€25,000+
Paid for	12 months per account	12 months per account	12 months per account

Everyone starts at Bronze. Nobody applies to a tier.

What that's actually worth

Percentages are easy to print and hard to picture. Here is what one referred account pays you over its first twelve months, at our published annual prices.

They buy	Bronze 20%	Silver 25%	Gold 30%
Pro · €24/mo	€58	€72	€86
Business · €59/mo	€142	€177	€212
Data Rooms · €99/mo	€238	€297	€356
Data Rooms Plus · €249/mo	€598	€747	€896
Data Rooms Premium · €549/mo	€1,318	€1,647	€1,976
Data Rooms Unlimited · €999/mo	€2,398	€2,997	€3,596

Calculated on annual billing, which is our lowest price. Monthly billing pays you more.

An accelerator that moves ten portfolio companies onto Data Rooms Plus earns €8,960 at Gold. That is ten emails.

How you move

Reviewed monthly

Cross either threshold and your rate goes up the following cycle.

One quarter of grace

If you slip below a threshold you keep your tier for a full quarter before anything changes. We are not looking for reasons to cut your rate.

Your rate applies going forward

Accounts referred at Bronze keep paying Bronze. Accounts referred after you hit Gold pay Gold.

Track 02 · Zero Tier

Zero Tier. You take nothing. Your portfolio takes everything.

Most funds can't take a referral fee from a vendor they recommend to portfolio companies. It's a conflict, and everyone in the room knows it. So we built a tier where you take zero and your companies take the whole thing.

For venture funds, accelerators, incubators, funds of funds, angel syndicates and studios.

The category

We checked every data room in the category. Here's what they pay partners.

Nine programs, researched in July 2026 from public sources. Six of them pay partners nothing at all. Not one pays a recurring commission. Two used to publish their rates and quietly deleted them.

Program	Cash to you	Recurring	Tracked link	Terms published
Papermark	20% to 30%	12 months	Yes, via Dub	Yes, in full
DocSendDropbox	None	No	No	—

Researched July 2026 from public sources. If any of this changes we'll update the table rather than take it down.

Proof

The page is strong without this section and close to unbeatable with it. Four things unlock it:

Total commission paid to partners to date. One number. It becomes the headline: "We've paid partners €X so far this year."
Top partner's twelve-month earnings. Anonymised is fine.
Two partner quotes with name, title, company and photo.
Six partner logos with written permission to use them.

Note: "100+ partners" from the current page was deliberately cut. It's a number nobody can defend and it invites the exact question you don't want asked.

Questions

Before you sign up

What counts as an active referral?

An account you referred that is on a paid plan and past its refund window. Free accounts and trials don't count until they convert.

When exactly do I get paid?

Monthly. Each commission clears a 30-day holding window first, so a commission earned in January pays out with the February cycle. That window applies to every payment, not just the first one, because refunds and chargebacks can land at any point.

What happens after 12 months?

Commission on that specific account stops. Commission on the next account you refer starts its own 12 months. The program pays you for bringing us new business, not for sitting on business you brought in 2024.

Someone I referred was already on the free plan. Do I get paid when they upgrade?

Yes, as long as the upgrade happens inside your 90-day attribution window.

Do I earn more if they upgrade later?

Yes. Your commission is a percentage of what they actually pay us, so if they move from Business to Data Rooms Plus in month four, your payout moves with them for the remaining months.

I'm a VC and I can't take a referral fee. Is there anything for me?

Zero Tier. You take no commission at all and every company in your portfolio gets 50% off for two years. Nothing to disclose, nothing to explain to your LPs.

Can I bid on your brand terms in paid search?

No. Bidding on "Papermark" or close variants forfeits commission on any account it produces.

Can I refer my own company?

No. Self-referrals aren't eligible.

Do I need to be a customer to be a partner?

No, but the partners who earn the most are the ones who use it.
