Onehub is a straightforward, affordable data room for secure sharing. For a lender, the question is the same as with any generic room: it stores the documents, but the closing still needs a system. Prodeal is that system, built for lending.
What each one is built for
Onehub provides workspaces, permissions, and secure sharing at an accessible price point, which suits teams that mainly need a clean place to exchange documents.
Lending closings need more than exchange: a request list with owners and statuses, borrowers working the list, and a record that stands up to an exam. That is the workflow Prodeal adds.

Questions lenders ask
- Can you run a loan closing on Onehub?
- Onehub is a straightforward, affordable data room for secure sharing. Like any general room, it stores documents and controls access, but it does not run the closing: there is no native request list with owners, due dates, and statuses.
- What is the difference between Onehub and Prodeal?
- Onehub hosts and permissions documents. Prodeal runs the lending workflow: a live checklist, party-scoped access, and an exportable record. If the room is a checkbox, Onehub is enough; if the closing is the work, the workflow is the difference.
- Is Prodeal a data room?
- Prodeal includes a secure data room, but the product is the lending workflow around it: checklists with owners and dates, party-scoped access, and a time-stamped, exportable record of every action.
