They sign in 30 seconds

Your client gets a link, no account needed. They read, draw or type their signature, and it's done — from their phone, in one sitting.

2:00

You get paid

The moment the last signature lands, your deposit request goes out. Straight to your own Stripe or payment link — Clinch never touches the money.

Questions worth answering upfront

Can't I just write this with ChatGPT for free?+

Sure — ChatGPT gives you text. Then you still have to format it, send it, chase the signature, prove nobody altered it after the fact, and hope for a deposit. Clinch is the execution layer: tracked signing with an audit trail and hash, a certified PDF, and a deposit collected the moment it's signed. The AI draft is the hook, not the product.

I usually just email a PDF and get an "ok" back+

An "ok" over email isn't a signature and won't hold up if things go sideways — and signing rates drop fast when someone has to print, scan, or squint at a PDF on their phone. Clinch contracts get signed in under a minute, from a phone, because that's the only way most clients ever will.

I already use DocuSign+

DocuSign runs about $480/year and stops at the signature — no AI drafting, no deposits, an enterprise-heavy workflow built for legal teams, not freelancers. Clinch Pro is $120/year for drafting, signing, and getting paid in one flow.

Why would I trust a tool I've never heard of to sign here?+

You're not choosing to use Clinch — whoever sent you the contract did. That's exactly why the signing experience is held to a higher bar than the rest of the product: a plain-English legality page, a full audit trail with a SHA-256 hash on every document, and no dark patterns anywhere in the flow.
