Box for Singapore buyers
Box Zones lists a Singapore data region, which helps when a buyer or regulator wants data kept in Singapore. Per-user pricing adds up when many outside parties need access.
| Item | Box | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Price | about S$19 per user a month | Converted from USD; your bank rate may differ |
| GST | about S$21 per user a month with 9% GST | Give your GST number if registered |
| Hosting | Singapore region listed | Required by some banks and government-linked buyers |
| PDPA | Processor terms on request | NDA terms for the business asset transaction exception |

Where a vendor lists a price, the total uses it, turned into Singapore dollars at S$1.2792 per US dollar (16 October 2026). Vendors that only quote get a band: our observed range for this kind of Singapore project, which is not a figure from the vendor. Treat all totals as planning numbers.
Box in brief
Operating since 2005 from the United States, Box is a general content platform rather than a deal room, but many companies already use it, and it offers watermarks, an audit trail, e-signature, a mobile app, an API, SSO, two-step login, folder upload and AI features.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are both in place and lists HIPAA and GDPR. It does not include a built-in Q&A workflow or per-document view and download control in the way deal rooms do.
Pricing starts at US$15 per user a month, about S$19, and a free trial is available.
