Common Paper publishes free standard agreements and sells a paid platform that caps sends on every tier: 2 a month free, then 10 to 30 per user per month at $50 to $100 per user. Atlas e-sign is free and unlimited, with unlimited seats and every integration on every plan. You can send Common Paper standard agreements through Atlas with no caps, and Atlas adds a managed option.
TL;DR
Free for 2 sends a month, then $50 to $100 per user per month with 10 to 30 sends per user. The AI review agent is a separate $500 a month.
Common Paper publishes its pricing. The free tier includes 2 agreements sent per month per organization. Paid tiers are per user: Startup at $50/user/mo with 10 sends per user per month, Growth at $100/user/mo with 30, and a custom Enterprise tier.
Its separate AI review agent, Gerri, is free for the first 3 contracts, then $500/mo for 10 files a month. The open-source standard agreements themselves (NDA, Cloud Service Agreement, DPA) are free to anyone. The paid product is the workflow around them.
Atlas has no send caps and no seat pricing on any plan. The same standard agreements go out through Atlas for free.
| Plan | Price | Agreements sent | Notable gates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 2/month per org | Slack integration included |
| Startup | $50/user/mo | 10/user/month | Branding, structured data export |
| Growth | $100/user/mo | 30/user/month | Salesforce and HubSpot integrations start here |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom integrations, SSO via Okta/AD/SAML |
| Gerri AI review | $500/mo after 3 free contracts | 10 files/month | AI review only, not a managed service |
| Atlas | Free | Unlimited | All integrations on every plan |
Unlimited sends, unlimited seats, CRM and custom integrations, and structured data from signed contracts, all on every Atlas plan.
The pattern to watch is caps plus seat pricing. Every Common Paper tier, including paid ones, caps how many agreements you can send, and the caps scale per seat. CRM integrations require the $100/user tier. Custom integrations and non-Google SSO require Enterprise.
Atlas has no send caps, no seat pricing, and includes every integration, the REST API, and the MCP server on every plan. Structured data extraction from signed contracts is included on every plan too, not gated to a tier.
| Feature | Atlas | Common Paper |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement sends | Unlimited, free | Capped on every tier: 2/mo free, 10 to 30 per user/mo paid |
| Seats | Unlimited on every plan | Priced per user |
| Salesforce and HubSpot | HubSpot included on every plan; Salesforce through the API | Growth tier ($100/user/mo) and up |
| Custom integrations | API and MCP included on every plan | Enterprise only |
| Structured data from signed contracts | Every plan | Startup tier and up |
| Templates | Unlimited, yours or standard | Included; standard agreements free to all |
| Send from Claude or ChatGPT | Yes | Not published |
| SAML SSO | Planned, not yet available | Enterprise only |
| Humans who run your contracts | From $1,500/mo | Not offered; Gerri is AI review, not operation |
No. Gerri reviews contracts with AI. Nobody at Common Paper runs your contract process.
Gerri is an AI agent that reviews contracts against playbooks, at $500/mo for 10 files a month after the first 3 free. Nobody at Common Paper runs your intake, drafting, routing, chasing, or filing.
The Atlas Managed Contracts Department does exactly that, starting at $1,500/mo, priced by company size and contract volume. Real people handle the operating work. When a contract needs a lawyer, Atlas routes it to your in-house or outside counsel for approval and coordinates their redlines with the other side.
Enterprise
Yes. Atlas has no seat pricing, so a 10,000-person company pays nothing extra for users, and the Managed Contracts Department scales with your contract volume.
Atlas is built for a five-person startup and a Fortune 500 procurement team on the same plan structure. Seats are unlimited on every plan. Adding your whole legal, sales, and finance org costs nothing.
Access is controlled with admin and member roles, teams, and workspaces. Each organization sees only its own agreements. Signers see only the fields meant for them. Every signed document carries an audit certificate that records who signed, when, and from where, and the signed PDF is hashed with SHA-256 so any later change is detectable.
Developers and agents get the same surface on every plan: a REST API, an MCP server, an append-only event log you can poll, idempotency keys, and templates. The Business plan prices workflow runs by volume. Outbound webhooks are in development. SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are planned but not yet available.
When the contract load outgrows your team, the Managed Contracts Department runs intake, drafting, routing, chasing, filing, and reporting for you. It is priced by company size and contract volume, so it works as an outsourced contracts function that grows with you instead of a headcount line.
| Requirement | Atlas |
|---|---|
| Seats | Unlimited on every plan, no per-seat pricing |
| Roles and access | Admin and member roles, teams, workspaces, per-organization isolation |
| Audit trail | Audit certificate on every signed document, SHA-256 hash of the signed PDF |
| Compliance | ESIGN and UETA in the US; eIDAS in the EU where applicable |
| Encryption | In transit and at rest |
| API and agents | REST API, MCP server, event log, idempotency keys, on every plan |
| Approval control | A person clicks Send before any signer gets an email |
| Volume pricing | Business plan: 100+ workflow runs a month, custom volume pricing |
| Outsourced operations | Managed Contracts Department, priced by company size and contract volume |
| Outbound webhooks | In development |
| SAML SSO and SCIM | Planned, not yet available |
Managed service
Only from Atlas. No competitor on these pages bundles people who run your contracts; Atlas does, from $1,500 a month.
Common Paper sells software plus Gerri, an AI review agent. No humans run your contracts for you.
No software vendor in this category bundles humans who run your contracts. If you want the work done for you, the rest of the market offers two options: ALSPs like Axiom at published rates of $150 to $350 per hour, or a contracts administrator hire at roughly $86,000 to $105,000 a year fully loaded ($7,200 or more a month).
The Atlas Managed Contracts Department starts at $1,500 a month, priced by company size and contract volume. That is about one fifth of a loaded contracts admin hire, software included. The Atlas team runs each contract from intake to filed: intake by email, Slack, or form, drafting from your approved templates, routing and chasing, approvals routed to whoever you name including in-house or outside counsel, filing executed copies into your CRM, drive, and finance tools, renewal and obligation tracking, and reporting built around what you track. During negotiation Atlas coordinates counsel's redlines and edits with the other side. Atlas does not give legal advice.
