Transparent patent software pricing: what IP Craft costs
IP Craft publishes its prices in full: free docketing and AI assistance, pay-per-artifact drafts from $500, and $20/user/mo team seats. Most patent-software vendors don't publish a price at all — here is ours, in plain numbers, with the market context.
IP Craft publishes its prices. Docketing and AI assistance are free, drafts are pay-per-artifact from $500, and team collaboration is $20 per user per month. No “contact sales” wall to see a number. Below is the whole thing, plus why so few vendors in this category will quote you a price at all.
What IP Craft costs
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (no card) | Unlimited statutory-deadline docketing and AI assistance — portfolio Q&A, analyses, and a patentability pre-screen. |
| Per artifact | from $500 | Pay only when the agents produce a filing-ready draft. No subscription required. |
| Team | $20 / user / mo | Everything in Free, plus collaboration: multiple users, shared matters, and roles. |
| Enterprise | Custom (annual) | SSO/SAML, per-client isolation, dedicated support, and SLAs. SOC 2 attestation is on the roadmap. |
What each draft costs
Every priced artifact is a deliverable you keep, review, sign, and file yourself (or with your own counsel):
| Artifact | Price |
|---|---|
| Provisional draft | $500 |
| Non-provisional (utility) draft | $1,500 |
| Office-action response draft | $500 |
Interactive help — portfolio Q&A, analyses, a patentability pre-screen — is always free. Prices exclude USPTO fees: you file, so you pay those directly (a provisional is $130 for a small entity). For the full plan details and to start, see the pricing page.
The market context: most vendors won’t tell you
The reason a plain price list is worth publishing is that, in patent-docketing and prosecution software, most vendors don’t publish one. By our count, 11 major vendors are quote-only — you have to book a call to learn what it costs.
Among the vendors that do post prices, the figures we’ve observed are:
| Vendor | Published price (observed) |
|---|---|
| AppColl | ~$100–130 / user / mo |
| ClaimMaster | ~$30–75 / user / mo |
A note on comparing them: these are per-seat subscriptions, while IP Craft’s model is free docketing + pay-per-draft, with optional $20/user/mo seats only when you want team collaboration. So the honest comparison isn’t one number against another — it’s a subscription-per-user model against a free-to-start, pay-only-for-results model. What they share, and what most of the category lacks, is that the number is on the page.
Why we publish it
Transparent pricing is better for you and, frankly, better for us: you can evaluate IP Craft without a sales call, and anyone comparing options can actually put our cost next to the alternatives. When 11 major vendors publish no price at all, the simplest form of respect for a buyer’s time is to just say the number.
Docketing and AI assistance are free to start
No credit card. You, or your own counsel, review, sign, and file.
