Hi Product Hunt!

Jake here, co-founder and CEO of Common Paper. Thanks so much @ellenchisa for hunting us!

When running my previous two startups, I found contracts to be confusing, time-consuming, and costly. That’s why we built a free resource for founders in a similar situation, offering the fastest, most trustworthy way for SaaS companies to create and understand commercial contracts.

🚀 Enter the SaaS Agreement Toolkit! 🚀

📃 A suite of standard agreements for every stage, including a Mutual NDA, Cloud Service Agreement, Data Processing Agreement, Design Partner Agreement, Service Level Agreement, and Terms of Service.

🤖 TurboTax-style guides that walk you through customizing the standard agreements, step by step with examples and tips.

📏 A Benchmark Report to help you make sense of what’s typical in SaaS contracts. Based on data from the proposed & signed contracts of more than 150 companies, the report provides context on the market trends for different terms and how they influence negotiation. For example, 85% of NDAs have a fixed rather than a perpetual term of confidentiality. Proposing a perpetual term decreases the odds of getting a signed agreement by 16%!

Our vision at Common Paper is to turn contracts into APIs. A key part of making that vision a reality is helping more people use and understand standard contracts.

We’d love to hear your feedback, especially about other types of contracts that you’d like to see next.
