CapLinked review and score
Published-price M&A room with a public API, aimed at smaller deals and asset sales.
CapLinked publishes its price and offers an API, which few deal rooms on our list do, along with Q&A and document rights control. No ISO 27001, no redaction and no SSO hold it to No. 12 of 18 overall.
Profile re-checked October 2026. Sources: the vendor's own docs, its price page and its security certificates. Method: how we rank.
Firms that want to plug a data room into their own systems have few options among the dedicated deal rooms we track. CapLinked, a US company since 2010, is one of them: API is one of its tags, and a public API is listed in our facts. Its other tags (M&A, SMB, asset sales) describe the deal it usually hosts, smaller transactions and the sale of specific assets rather than whole companies.
The diligence basics are covered. A Q&A module, dynamic watermarking, per-file access rights, two-factor login, bulk upload and an audit trail are all listed. SOC 2 is listed too. The published entry price of $299 a month and a free trial let a buyer judge the cost before speaking to sales, which helps its Cost predictability mark. Ask the vendor to show the API documentation early if integration is the reason you are looking.
It slips on the criteria a security reviewer reads first. There is no ISO 27001 certificate in our facts, and native redaction and single sign-on are missing, as are e-signature, a mobile app and AI features. Data protection and Deal support marks are both in the lower half of our list. Overall it scores 77, a reasonable option when an API matters and a deal is modest in size.
