Data Rooms

Orangedox vs HelpRange: What’s the more suitable alternative?

If you’re looking for the alternatives to HelpRange, then you’re in the right place. Both Orangedox and Help Range provide virtual data rooms for sharing your documents online but each takes a different approach to securing your documents.

Setting up your Data Room

With Orangedox, unlike HelpRange, you don’t need to upload any of your files to your data room before sharing it with your audience. Orangedox seamlessly integrates with your Google Drive allowing you to simply use an existing folder from your Google Drive. Automatically syncing all files, including sub folders, with your room. Completely eliminating the need to upload your documents to another service, and keeping them in sync whenever you make changes.

Supported File Types

HelpRange is fairly limited when it comes to supported file types so if you have a file format that is not supported it will have to be downloaded. Orangedox excels at this as the platform supports almost all file types including audio and video formats.

Secure Sharing

HelpRange’s access security ensures that only one customer can view the document at a time by creating a unique password for each customer. However, passwords can easily be shared or forwarded to someone else. Plus once they gain access, your files can easily be downloaded and shared with anyone.

Orangedox ensures that documents always get to their intended recipients using their secure document sharing technology. By eliminating passwords and relying instead on device level security, Orangedox ensures only the intended recipients can view each document in your data room. Plus with Orangedox you can set your files to read-only mode, preventing them from being downloaded and easily forwarded to another party.

Metrics

Both HelpRange and Orangedox offer detailed document tracking, including knowing when each recipient previews or downloads your documents. You’ll also be able to see which pages were viewed and for how long with both services.

Pricing

HelpRange’s pricing starts at $179 per admin per month, while Orangedox offers a Business plan starting at just $45 per admin per month. Additionally, when it comes to team capabilities, Orangedox's plans include more comprehensive features compared to HelpRange’s offerings, like having 3 admins managing data rooms and being able to manage your entire team, ensuring you get more value for your investment.

What suits you more?

HelpRange offers various document security features, but maintaining control over your documents from the start is key. Password protection alone is no longer sufficient. That’s why Orangedox provides a cost-effective, user-friendly solution that integrates seamlessly with Google Drive. It enhances your existing setup by keeping your files secure and read-only, eliminating the need for passwords and simplifying your data room management.
