Templates & reusable contracts
Reusable templates and bulk send are gated to Business Pro, and SMBs hit the upgrade wall the second they try to standardise a contract.
What people actually say
✕Templates, bulk send, web forms and advanced fields only appear on Business Pro at $40-$65 per user per month — Standard customers can't reuse contracts without manually rebuilding them.

Templates live as MDX or JSON in your repo with field definitions in TypeScript — version-controlled, diffable, code-reviewed. Bulk send is a CSV upload and an Inngest queue, not a Business Pro upsell. Want a new MSA template? Open a PR, not a support ticket.
