Clerky review
A focused toolkit for incorporation and startup legal documents, with one-time purchase options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Clerky provides online legal paperwork for startups, from Delaware incorporation through company maintenance. It is aimed at founders handling standard U.S. corporate paperwork, as well as co-founders and attorneys who need to collaborate on documents. The product covers post-incorporation setup, fundraising paperwork, hiring, equity issuance, nondisclosure agreements, and changes to company records. It is a focused legal-workflow product rather than a broader founder-planning or finance tool.
Its pricing is organized around one-time purchases and subscriptions. Pay Per Use — Incorporation costs $427 for Delaware C corporation incorporation; Post-Incorporation Setup is $299, and Stock Plan Adoption is $199. Individual fundraising documents start at $9 for Safe issuance paperwork and $19 for convertible note paperwork. The Company Lifetime Package costs $819 and includes incorporation plus unlimited use of standard fundraising, hiring, commercial, and maintenance products for the startup's lifetime. Subscription options include Fundraising Subscription at $99 per 6 months and Hiring Subscription — Small at $19 per month. This structure suits founders who want to buy specific paperwork or compare that with broader lifetime coverage.
Document collaboration and the Pulley connection are the most notable ecosystem features. Founders can customize documents, work with co-founders, and invite attorneys to review or comment. Clerky can send company information to Pulley for cap-table setup and updates, but cap-table management itself is provided by Pulley. Clerky prepares financing documents; it is not an investor-tracking tool, nor does it provide business planning or financial forecasting. Choose it for startup legal paperwork and incorporation; founders looking for planning, forecasting, investor tracking, or cap-table management should look elsewhere or pair it with other tools.
