Common Paper's free plan lets you send agreements natively or collect signatures on uploaded agreements at no cost. You can send up to 2 agreements per month.
Once you've reached your monthly limit, Common Paper blocks further sends until your count resets or you upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some more details about the plan.
What counts as a sent agreement?
A sent agreement is either a native Common Paper agreement sent to a recipient, or an uploaded agreement sent out for signature. The following don't count toward your monthly limit:
Voided agreements
Deleted signature requests
Uploaded agreements that were already fully signed when you added them
I've mistakenly sent an agreement and hit the limit - how can I send another?
If either of your agreements are in-flight (unsigned or partially signed), you can void the agreement (or delete the agreement if it's an uploaded signature request). This will reduce your sent agreements and allow you to send another.
If you've sent your 2 agreements and need to send another, upgrade to one of our paid plans.
When does the month roll over?
Your monthly limit resets one month from your signup date, not the calendar month. You can see your specific rollover date on your Billing page.
How many users can I add?
You can add as many users to your organization as you'd like on the free plan - all free plan users are admins. If you upgrade to a paid plan, you'll be billed per user, so it's worth removing any users you no longer need before converting.
What features does the free plan include?
The free plan includes all of Common Paper's core features and agreement types, along with MagicBill, API/MCP access, the Slack integration, and webhooks.
Some features are only available on paid plans. For example, issuing a new Order Form under an agreement you've already signed requires a Growth or Enterprise plan (see the next question). For the full list, view our pricing page.
Can I add a new Order Form to an agreement I've already signed?
Not on the free plan. Issuing a new Order Form from a signed CSA or Software License Agreement (an Order Form only agreement, used for renewals and upsells) is only available on the Growth and Enterprise plans.
On the free plan, send your customer a new agreement instead and put everything in its Order Form. On a CSA, list each product or scope of work as its own fee line item, and add an attachment for anything that doesn't fit. The new agreement replaces the original one, so you don't need to cancel the agreement you already signed. For details, see Changing the Terms of a Completed Agreement.
Does the free plan include API access?
Yes - API and MCP access are available on all plans, including the free tier. You can generate an API key and start making API calls without upgrading. For more information, see Using the Common Paper API.
