Diligent pricing vs. Aprio: two very different bills

A Diligent quote is a stack

Platform feeThe base, before anyone logs in
Per-user licences
Add-on modulesBoard portal is one product among many
Implementation & trainingQuoted separately
Renewal escalationAsk for the formula in writing

Five moving parts.

An Aprio quote is a line

One tier. Every feature. Per user.Voting, e-signatures, surveys, expense reporting, annotations, offline access, training and 24/7 support, all in.
ImplementationOne clearly quoted line item, one-on-one onboarding

Two numbers. You can check our math on a napkin.

Which one is right for your board?

Choose Diligent if…

  • You need risk, audit, ESG and compliance tooling from one vendor
  • You have a dedicated IT team and an enterprise GRC budget
  • Multinational data-center coverage is a hard requirement

Choose Aprio if…

  • You are buying a board portal, not a governance suite
  • You want one tier that already includes everything
  • You want support that knows your name, not a ticket queue
  • Your admin wants to be running meetings in weeks, not quarters

What buyers ask us

Is Aprio a good Diligent alternative?
Boards that outgrow Diligent's pricing, or that only ever needed the board portal, usually shortlist Aprio for three reasons: one tier with every feature in it, support from former board administrators who answer 24/7, and an implementation that is one quoted line item with 1:1 training sessions from experienced board administrators. Most boards run their first Aprio meeting within weeks of signing.
Is Aprio cheaper than Diligent?
For a board buying board management, almost always, because there is no platform fee and no modules to add. Diligent does not publish pricing, so the honest comparison is your two quotes side by side. Bring your Diligent quote to a demo and we will walk the same requirements through Aprio, line by line.
Can we move our board's history over from Diligent?
Yes, you can bring your records over. Aprio support guides you through setting them up 1:1, with best practices tailored to boards like yours. Most boards are running their first meeting in Aprio within weeks.
Is the security comparable?
Aprio is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, with AES 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication, granular permissions and remote wipe. No Aprio customer has raised a security gap as a reason to leave in over 20 years of operation.
