Digify controls what happens to your files after you share them. Fabric controls what you know about everything you've saved. Digify is a virtual data room with post-download DRM, watermarking, and screenshot protection. Fabric is an AI workspace that stores, understands, and connects your content. One locks files down. The other opens them up to your own AI. Different problems.

What is Digify?
Digify is a virtual data room focused on document-level security. Its signature feature is post-download DRM: after someone downloads your file, you can still revoke access, set expiry dates, and restrict what they do with it. Screenshield detects screenshot attempts. Dynamic watermarking stamps the viewer's identity onto every page. NDA gates require agreement before viewing. Page-level analytics show exactly which pages were read and for how long. Digify is ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliant. Over 600,000 professionals use it across 138 countries. Pro starts around $130-180/month. Team is $330-480/month. It's positioned as the more accessible alternative to enterprise VDRs like iDeals and Datasite, serving startups, investors, and mid-market teams during fundraising, M&A, and IP sharing.
What is Fabric?
Fabric is an AI workspace that combines file storage, note-taking, search, tasks, collaboration, and publishing. The Fabric Memory Engine automatically extracts, enriches, and maps relationships between everything you save. Fabric includes publishing with analytics, password protection, and stakeholder-specific links. Where Digify protects files from misuse, Fabric makes files useful for the people who own them.
Key differences
Protecting files vs understanding them
Digify's value is in control. What happens to a file after it's shared. Can the recipient print it? Screenshot it? Keep it after the deal closes? These are real concerns during sensitive transactions, and Digify's DRM answers them with technical enforcement.
Fabric's value is in understanding. What's inside your files. How they relate to each other. What the AI can tell you about them. When you save a document in Fabric, it's extracted, enriched, indexed, and made part of a searchable, AI-queryable library. The document isn't just stored. It's known.
These are different problems. Digify assumes the document is dangerous in the wrong hands. Fabric assumes the document is useful in yours.
Post-download control
This is Digify's defining capability. After someone downloads a file, you can revoke their access remotely. The file expires. It can't be printed, copied, or screenshotted. Screenshield detects capture attempts. For sharing confidential IP, fundraising materials, or legal documents where you need to control the afterlife of every file, this is purpose-built infrastructure.
Fabric doesn't have post-download DRM. Once you share content and someone accesses it, Fabric tracks their engagement (who viewed, when, how long) but doesn't restrict what they do with it afterwards. If post-download control is a hard requirement, Digify solves that. Fabric doesn't try to.
Analytics
Both products track engagement with shared content. Digify offers page-level heatmaps, real-time access alerts, and detailed per-user activity logs. For due diligence, this granularity helps you see exactly which sections of a document an investor or buyer spent time on.
Fabric's analytics show who viewed, when, and how long, with stakeholder-specific links. Less granular than Digify's page-level heatmaps, but integrated into a workspace you use every day rather than a temporary data room.
AI
Digify has no AI. Files go in, permissions are set, analytics are tracked. The contents of the files are opaque to the system.
Fabric's AI understands every file you save. It answers questions across your entire library, summarises documents, maps relationships, and works across all content types. For the team preparing the documents that will go into a data room, Fabric's AI helps you understand what you have before you share it.
Beyond the data room
Digify is a security and sharing tool. No notes, no document editing, no tasks, no collaboration beyond access control, no AI, no semantic search, no spatial canvas.
Fabric is a full workspace. Notes, documents, files, tasks, AI, semantic search, collaboration, spatial canvases, meeting transcription, publishing. The documents you eventually share through a data room are the same documents you researched, discussed, annotated, and organised in Fabric.
Compliance
Digify holds ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 certifications. For regulated deal processes in healthcare, finance, and legal, these matter.
Fabric uses AES-256 encryption and is CASA Tier 2 compliant. If your sharing requirements are driven by specific compliance certifications, verify that the tool you choose meets them.
Pricing
Digify Pro starts around $130-180/month. Team is $330-480/month. For a security-focused data room, this is more accessible than enterprise VDRs. But for teams that need document sharing alongside everyday workspace features, paying $130-480/month for a tool that only does secure sharing is a separate line item on top of whatever you pay for notes, files, AI, and collaboration.
Fabric includes publishing with analytics at every tier alongside AI, file storage, search, collaboration, and everything else. [Insert Fabric pricing details.] For ongoing content sharing, Fabric's publishing covers most needs at a lower total cost. For formal deal processes requiring DRM and compliance certifications, Digify's pricing reflects the specialised infrastructure.
When to use each
Use Fabric if you need a workspace where your content is stored, understood, searchable, and shareable. You want AI that knows what's in your files. You need collaboration, notes, tasks, and semantic search alongside your shared content. Your sharing needs are persistent: proposals, portfolios, client deliverables, investor updates. You want analytics on engagement without paying data-room pricing.
Use Digify if you need post-download DRM on shared documents. You're sharing confidential IP, fundraising materials, or legal documents where screenshot protection, remote revocation, and file expiry are requirements. You need ISO 27001, HIPAA, or SOC 2 compliance for the sharing process. The content is sensitive enough that controlling what happens after download is non-negotiable.
Use both. Prepare, understand, and organise your materials in Fabric. When it's time to share them under strict access controls with DRM and compliance, put them in Digify. Fabric is where you do the work. Digify is where you lock down the output.
Why people move from Digify to Fabric
They needed to work with files, not just protect them. Digify controls access. Fabric understands content. Teams that needed AI, semantic search, and relationships between documents found Digify couldn't help with any of that.
The data room closed but the work continued. Digify is project-based. Fabric is persistent. The knowledge you build doesn't disappear when a deal ends.
They wanted everyday sharing without data-room pricing. Not every shared file needs DRM and screenshot protection. For proposals, portfolios, and regular client deliverables, Fabric's publishing with analytics is sufficient and included at every tier.
They needed a workspace. Notes, collaboration, tasks, AI, search. Digify does none of that. Teams using Digify alongside four other tools found Fabric consolidated most of the stack.
FAQs
Does Fabric have DRM like Digify?
No. Fabric doesn't offer post-download control, screenshot protection, or remote file revocation. For documents that require this level of control, Digify or a comparable VDR is the right tool.
Does Fabric have page-level analytics like Digify?
Fabric's publishing analytics show who viewed, when, and how long per stakeholder. It doesn't provide page-level heatmaps or per-page time tracking. For due diligence where page-level granularity matters, Digify provides more detail.
Is Fabric free?
Fabric has a free tier with limited storage and AI. Digify offers a 7-day free trial but no free plan.
Is Digify HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Digify is ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliant. Fabric is CASA Tier 2 compliant with AES-256 encryption.
Can I use Fabric to prepare documents for a Digify data room?
Yes. Fabric is well-suited for organising, understanding, and collaborating on documents before they go into a formal data room. Use Fabric for the work. Use Digify for the sharing.
Which is cheaper for document sharing?
Fabric includes publishing with analytics at every tier. Digify Pro starts at $130-180/month for security-focused sharing. If you need DRM and compliance certifications, Digify's pricing reflects that. If you need general-purpose sharing with engagement tracking, Fabric covers it at a lower cost.
