Linkro compared with Intralinks.
Use Intralinks on a global or syndicated transaction where international counterparties expect it. Use Linkro on Australian deals where onshore data residency, predictable AUD pricing and unlimited users decide the outcome.
Two answers to the same problem.
Intralinks is one of the oldest platforms in the category, widely used on global banking transactions, with strong recognition among international counterparties.
Linkro is the Australian alternative: data and processing onshore, capacity-based AUD pricing with no per-page and no per-user fees, and AI in the architecture rather than added to a document repository.

The part that decides your invoice.
Legacy platforms in this category price per page, per user, or both. Per-page pricing sounds cheap because the sticker rate is small. It is not cheap, and worse, it is unknowable at signing: nobody knows how many pages a diligence process will produce until it has produced them.
The figures in the example below are illustrative rates drawn from common market pricing in this category. They are not Intralinks's quoted rates, and we do not represent them as such. Ask Intralinks for its own pricing unit, page rate, user rate and overage terms in writing before you rely on any number here.
Here is what that looks like when a deal runs three months longer than planned, which is ordinary rather than unlucky. Take a room of 20,000 pages priced at 85 cents a page: that is $17,000 before anyone asks a question. Add a 15,000 page supplementary disclosure in month four, and the same rate adds $12,750. Add 12 extra reviewers at $150 per user per month for three months and that is another $5,400. The quote you approved was $17,000. The invoice is $35,150.
Linkro does not work that way. You buy capacity and a term in AUD, users are unlimited, and preparation is free with 10 GB while the room stays private. If you exceed your capacity we move you onto a new contract at standard rates. There is no punitive per-gigabyte or per-page multiple, because a seller under pressure to disclose less is a worse outcome for everyone than a slightly larger contract.
Ask Intralinks for the pricing unit, the overage rate and the user charge in writing, then multiply the overage out for three extra months. Do the same to us. The comparison only means something once both quotes are in the same unit.
What the standard actually covers.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the management systems standard for artificial intelligence. It sets requirements for how an organisation governs AI: risk assessment before a feature ships, control over the data the AI sees, human oversight of its outputs, and monitoring after release.
It is not a badge for having AI. It is an external audit of whether the AI is managed, which is the question counsel is actually asking when a data room offers to read the documents.
As of September 2026, Linkro is the only virtual data room provider we are aware of that holds ISO/IEC 42001. We hold ISO 27001 as well. Intralinks publicly claims ISO 27001; we have found no public statement that it holds ISO/IEC 42001. Based on our review of publicly listed certifications, last checked September 2026. If that has changed, tell us and we will update this page.
When Intralinks is the better choice.
There are deals we should not win. These are them.
Questions, answered.
- Should I use Linkro or Intralinks?
- Use Intralinks on a global or syndicated transaction where international counterparties expect it. Use Linkro on Australian deals where onshore data residency, predictable AUD pricing and unlimited users decide the outcome.
- Is Intralinks hosted in Australia?
- Intralinks operates in multiple global regions. Ask for the storage region and, more importantly, the sub-processor list with locations, because support and AI processing are often offshore even when storage is local.
- What does Linkro do differently on pricing?
- Linkro charges for capacity and term in AUD, with no per-page and no per-user fee. If you exceed capacity you are moved onto a new contract at standard rates rather than billed at a punitive overage rate.
- How long does it take to open a room?
- With Linkro you can prepare a room the same day, free, with 10 GB while it stays private, and open it when you are ready. Ask any provider how long provisioning takes and whether preparation is metered.
