Our verdict on Common Paper
Common Paper is a cloud contract management platform for startups and growing teams managing commercial agreements and billing. It brings contract creation, standard and custom templates, negotiation, electronic signatures, activity notifications, payment workflows, renewals, upsells, and structured contract history into one system. Web access and an API support both day-to-day contract work and programmatic management.
The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes template and document generation, automatic billing, customer activity alerts, and Slack integration. Startup costs $50 per user per month, billed monthly, adding agreement branding, customer-initiated agreements, structured contract data export, and Vanta integration. Growth costs $100 per user per month, billed monthly, and adds multiple user roles, custom payment links, upsell and renewal workflows, plus Salesforce and HubSpot integration. Enterprise adds custom integrations, backups to Box, Drive, and other services, custom account capacity, and SSO options.
Its strongest differentiator is the combination of contract operations and AI review. Gerri evaluates agreements against configurable playbooks and routes exceptions for human review, while the broader platform handles reminders, billing, signatures, renewals, and structured exports. Integrations include Slack, Vanta, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, and MCP-compatible AI clients. Common Paper fits teams that want commercial contracting tied closely to revenue workflows; organizations seeking a narrowly focused signature tool or a product with transparent Enterprise pricing should consider alternatives.
