Actually free — here’s what that means
“Free” is the most abused word on legal-template sites, so let’s be precise. On SealForms the downloadis the product. No card. No trial. No surprise subscription — ever.This page spells out exactly what that promise covers.
The promise
Four things that will not happen to you here
These are the four ways “free” usually goes wrong on template sites. None of them exist on SealForms — not as fine print, but as a matter of how the site is built.
1 / 4
A card form at the download button
On much of the web, “free” ends the moment your document is finished: the download button opens a checkout that wants a credit card to “start your free trial”. Here, “Download / Print PDF” opens your browser’s print dialog — immediately. There is no checkout anywhere on this site; there isn’t even a page where you could type a card number.
2 / 4
A trial that quietly becomes a subscription
A common model in this market: a $0 trial that converts into a recurring monthly charge unless you cancel in time. This site has no accounts and no billing system. There is nothing to start, so there is nothing to cancel — and nothing that could ever charge you.
3 / 4
A watermark on the “free” version
The PDF and the Word file you download are clean and print-ready. No watermark, no “SAMPLE” stamp across the page, no blurred paragraphs held back for a paid tier.
4 / 4
A limit on how many documents
Fill in ten documents today and ten more tomorrow. Come back next month and print the same lease again — your entries auto-save in your own browser. There is no counter, no quota, and no “premium” templates: every document on the site is the full version.

The economics
Why we can afford this
No trick, just a cheaper way to run the product. The documents are generated in your own browser — we don’t store your data, run signing servers, or process payments, so our costs stay small. The site earns money fromclearly labelled affiliate suggestions and advertising on some pages: for example, an attorney-review service next to a deed. If you use one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you; if you ignore them, the template is exactly the same.
Those placements are always marked, never change what a template says, and never gate the download. Full details in the affiliate disclosure.
The whole list
What’s free (spoiler: everything)
This isn’t a “free plan” next to a paid one — there is no paid tier. This list is the entire site.
Every template, in full. All US documents (each state-specific one covering all 50 states + DC) and all UK documents — no “premium” tier holding some back.
PDF download. Clean, margin-ready, no watermark. Opens your browser’s print dialog — save as PDF or print on paper.
Word (.docx) download. An editable copy, with signature lines left blank so you can sign on paper.
Signatures. Type or draw a signature on screen; drawn signatures ship inside the PDF.
Send to the other party to sign. A signing link that carries the document inside the link itself — neither of you creates an account.
Signature certificate + verification. Signed documents end with who signed, when, and a SHA-256 fingerprint you can re-check any time on the verify page.
My documents & versions. Named saves in your own browser, each keeping previous versions you can restore or compare. Export a JSON backup to move devices.
Contacts. A local address book so you stop retyping names and addresses across documents.
Optional clauses & calculators. Tick-to-add clauses, amortization schedules, prorated rent, deposit-return and notice-deadline calculators.
Custom document builder & bulk generate. Build your own template, or mail-merge a CSV into a ZIP of PDFs.
State rules, cited. Deposit caps, notice periods, witness and notary rules on every page — each linked to the governing statute.
Español & bilingual EN/ES. Spanish versions and side-by-side bilingual documents for the most-used templates.
The honest limits: SealForms is not a law firm and doesn’t give legal advice; the signature tools are not a qualified or certified e-signature service; and some documents need wet ink, witnesses or a notary. Those limits are about what the product is — not about payment. More on the about page.
