The Honest Take on Pricing
If you're a Windows-only firm stamping exhibits multiple times per week, Final Exhibits 2 at $95/year is hard to beat on pure price. But consider:
- Mac users: Final Exhibits 2 doesn't work. ExhibitPrep or E-Sticker (with Acrobat) are your only options.
- Occasional users: Why pay for an annual subscription when you only need it 2-3 times? Pay-per-use makes more sense.
- IT-restricted environments: Desktop software often requires IT approval. Browser-based tools don't.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are exhibit stamping tools sold?
ExhibitPrep is bought per set, when you are ready to save, with Day Pass, Monthly and Annual plans for frequent filers. LegalExhibitStickers and Exhibit Master II are one-time Acrobat plug-ins that also need an Acrobat subscription. Final Exhibits 2 and Exhibit Flow are subscriptions. Pick on workflow fit: whether you want your court convention applied for you, a reviewed export before paying, and nothing to install.
Do I need Adobe Acrobat for exhibit stamping?
Many exhibit stamping tools require Adobe Acrobat: E-Sticker, LegalExhibitStickers, and Exhibit Master all require Acrobat Pro or Reader. This adds $240/year to your costs. ExhibitPrep and Final Exhibits 2 are standalone tools that do not require Acrobat—ExhibitPrep runs in your browser, Final Exhibits 2 is desktop software.
What exhibit stamping software works on Mac?
ExhibitPrep works on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook since it runs in your browser. E-Sticker and Exhibit Master work on Mac but require Adobe Acrobat. Final Exhibits 2 and LegalExhibitStickers are Windows-only. ExhibitPrep is one option for Mac users who do not want to use Acrobat.
Is pay-per-use or subscription better for exhibit stamping?
It depends on your volume. If you stamp exhibits 1-5 times per year, pay-per-use ($4.99-$14.99) means nothing to carry between cases. If you stamp every week, an annual plan suits that rhythm. ExhibitPrep offers both: $4.99 single use, $14.99 day pass, or $39.99/month for heavy users.
What hidden costs should I watch for in exhibit stamping software?
Common hidden costs include: Adobe Acrobat requirement ($240/year), Windows-only software requiring Parallels/Boot Camp for Mac users, activation limits (Final Exhibits 2 limits to 2 devices per license), and feature restrictions in lower tiers (slipsheets, batch processing often locked behind higher tiers).
