Conveyor Alternative — Why teams switch to FillBase
Looking for a Conveyor alternative? FillBase offers DDQ automation at a fraction of the cost — without buying an entire trust center platform.
Conveyor is a solid product. Trust center, AI questionnaire automation, NDA workflows, customer-facing security portal — they've raised $19M and built a comprehensive platform.
But "comprehensive platform" isn't what everyone needs. If you're evaluating Conveyor and wondering whether there's a better fit, here's an honest comparison.
Why teams look for Conveyor alternatives
1. Pricing
Conveyor requires a sales conversation. No public pricing. Teams typically report costs of $1,000+/month, often with annual contracts. For a 30-person startup completing 3 DDQs per month, that's expensive for one use case.
2. Scope creep
Conveyor sells a platform: trust center + questionnaires + NDA + portal. If you just need DDQ automation, you're paying for features you won't use.
3. Implementation time
Full platform setup takes weeks — trust center configuration, portal customization, team training. If you have a DDQ due Friday, that doesn't help.

The bottom line
Conveyor is a platform. FillBase is a tool. If you need a platform, evaluate Conveyor. If you need your DDQs completed accurately and fast, try FillBase for free and see if it solves the problem before committing to a platform purchase.
