Yes, eForms costs money if you want the full guided document builder, but a large part of the site is free. Blank templates for common documents can be downloaded at no charge. The paid plans are $49 per month, $144 per year (which works out to $12 per month), or a one-time fee for a single document. A seven-day free trial is available on the monthly plan, and separate government filing fees or notary charges may apply on top of whatever you pay eForms.
Free Templates vs. Paid Features
A sizable portion of the eForms library is free. You can browse and download blank templates for things like powers of attorney, lease agreements, bills of sale, and promissory notes without creating an account or entering payment information. These free versions are static PDFs. You fill them out by hand or in a basic text editor.
The free files work if you already know what belongs in each blank. The moment you want the guided interview that walks you through each field, clause suggestions, the ability to save and revise drafts online, or a clean download without a watermark, you need either the free trial or a paid plan.
How Much the Paid Plans Cost
eForms sells three paid options. Each unlocks the full guided builder and unlimited downloads without watermarks.1eForms. Pricing
- Pro Monthly is $49 per month with no long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of the billing cycle.
- Pro Annual is $144 billed once per year, which comes out to $12 per month, a 75 percent discount against the monthly rate. It includes unlimited access to every document plus regulatory updates during the year.
- Single Document is a one-time charge for unlimited access and revisions to one specific form. The price depends on the document, and there is no recurring fee.
All paid plans let you export documents as PDF or Word files. If a subscription lapses, you lose the ability to edit or generate new versions of saved documents until you reactivate. The single-document option avoids that because it doesn’t expire, but it only covers the form you bought.
The Seven-Day Free Trial
New users who sign up for Pro Monthly get a seven-day free trial with full access to every document and feature. The trial runs exactly 168 hours from activation. You have to enter a credit card or PayPal payment method to start it, but nothing is charged during the trial window.2eForms. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you don’t cancel before the seven days end, the account automatically converts to a paid monthly subscription at $49. There is no grace period. The charge posts immediately. eForms doesn’t charge a termination fee, and if you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access to the plan’s features until that billing period ends.
One catch: the platform doesn’t allow a second free trial under a different account. Signing up again with a new email to get another trial can disqualify you from a refund.
How to Cancel Your eForms Subscription
You can cancel during the trial or at any point after. The steps are the same:
- Sign in with the email and password tied to your subscription.
- Click “My eForms” in the top-right corner and select “Settings.” On a phone or tablet, tap the three-line menu icon at the top of the screen first.
- Click the red “Cancel Subscription” button.
- Wait for the confirmation email, which should arrive shortly.
If You Missed the Trial Window
If the trial ended and you were charged, eForms allows refunds only for transactions within the most recent 30 days. Older charges are not refundable through the platform’s standard policy. Cancel first to stop future billing, then request the refund for the charge you want reversed.
Extra Costs eForms Doesn’t Cover
What you pay eForms covers document preparation only. When a form has to be filed with a government agency or signed in front of a notary, those fees are separate and go to the agency or the notary, not to eForms. No document achieves legal effect until the required fee is paid and the filing is accepted.
Business Formation Filing Fees
Forming an LLC requires filing a certificate of organization (sometimes called articles of organization) with your state’s secretary of state. The fee varies widely by state, from as low as $35 to as high as $500. Some states also charge annual or biennial report fees to keep the LLC in good standing. Budget for both the one-time filing fee and any recurring obligations.
UCC and Lien Filings
If you use eForms to prepare a UCC-1 financing statement, which is the form that establishes a creditor’s security interest in personal property, you file it with the appropriate state office and pay a separate fee. Fees run from roughly $10 in lower-cost states to over $100 in higher-cost states, depending on whether the filing is electronic or paper and how many pages it includes. The Uniform Commercial Code leaves the exact amounts to each state, so check with your secretary of state before filing.3Legal Information Institute (LII). Uniform Commercial Code 9-525 – Fees
Court Filings and County Recording
Court documents like small claims petitions, probate filings, or divorce papers carry filing fees set by local court rules, and the amounts vary significantly by court and case type. Real estate documents like deeds usually have to be recorded with the county recorder’s office, which charges its own per-page or flat fee. If the fee isn’t paid, the document is rejected regardless of how accurately it was prepared.
Notary Fees
Many documents eForms helps you prepare, particularly real estate deeds, affidavits, and powers of attorney, must be notarized before a government office will accept them. Notary fees are set by state law and typically range from $2 to $25 per signature for in-person notarization. Remote online notarization, available in most states, often costs more. You pay the notary directly.
Is the Paid Plan Worth It?
For a single simple document you already understand, the free templates and a text editor may be all you need. For a document you’d rather build through a guided interview, or for someone drafting several forms in a short window, the annual plan at $12 per month is the cheapest per-document route. If you only need one form and don’t want a recurring charge, the single-document option is the safer choice because access to that form doesn’t expire when a subscription would.
