Clerky Pricing in May 2026

Clerky's pricing follows pay-per-document model — typical incorporation packages cost $200-500 (Delaware C-Corp incorporation), with ongoing per-document pricing for fundraising documents (SAFE notes, priced rounds), employment agreements, and equity grants. There's no subscription — costs scale with actual document needs.

The Pay per document offer is genuinely transparent — Clerky charges only for documents you generate. Eligibility focuses on US-incorporated startups planning institutional fundraising. The strategic decision: Clerky's value is the lawyer-built credibility — documents created by Clerky are designed by startup-experienced attorneys and accepted by virtually every VC and law firm without significant modification. For founders planning institutional fundraising rounds, Clerky reduces friction with corporate counsel during deal cycles. The pay-per-document model is the right approach for one-time legal events (incorporation, fundraising rounds, equity grants). For specifically startup incorporation alternatives, Stripe Atlas is the dominant managed alternative — Delaware C-Corp incorporation + bank account + EIN + cap table in one workflow. The Clerky vs Stripe Atlas decision often splits: Clerky for founders who will work with traditional corporate lawyers (Clerky documents are widely accepted); Stripe Atlas for founders who want managed end-to-end with bank account included. Gust Launch is another online alternative targeting angel-backed startups. Firstbase.io targets international founders with US-presence services. ZenBusiness and Incfile target broader small-business incorporation (LLCs, not C-Corps) at lower price but less startup-specific. LegalZoom covers similar small-business market. For specifically post-incorporation legal needs (different from initial incorporation), Vanilla, Carta (cap table), and Pilot (accounting) overlap with Clerky's scope. For specifically employment agreements at scale, Rippling's HR agreements and Deel/Remote's contracts target this differently. For specifically equity grants and option grants (post-incorporation), Carta handles cap table; Clerky generates the underlying grants. Clerky's specific strength is the founder-trusted lawyer-built positioning for serious-fundraising-anchored startups planning institutional rounds.
