Firmly review
A free web app for India-specific startup NDAs and reusable document templates.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Firmly is a cloud-based web app for Indian startup founders who need to draft and send routine business paperwork. It generates mutual and one-way NDAs with India-specific clauses and jurisdiction, and also creates offer letters and ESOP grant letters. Its stated fit is bootstrapped, pre-seed and seed-stage founders, particularly solo operators and small teams looking for a straightforward starting point for common documents.
Template reuse gives the product a practical document workflow beyond generating drafts from scratch. Founders can upload PDF or DOCX agreements and turn them into fillable templates, choose prebuilt clauses or add custom ones, then email generated documents from within the app. That makes Firmly more suited to repeatable early-stage paperwork than a tool limited to fixed NDA forms. Its focus remains document creation and sending, rather than managing an agreement lifecycle.
Firmly is currently free during early access, so it may suit founders who want basic India-specific drafting without a subscription. The trade-off is that electronic signing and a one-click acceptance workflow are described as coming next, not current capabilities; access controls and audit logs are also absent. Teams that need signed-document workflows, tracking or administrative oversight should consider a product built for those needs. For founders who mainly want reusable drafts and email delivery, Firmly covers a narrow, relevant set of tasks; businesses needing broader contract operations are likely to outgrow that scope.
