Exhibit Stamping Without Annual Subscriptions
Stop paying yearly fees for software you use occasionally. Stamp exhibits only when you need them—no subscriptions, no automatic renewals, no commitment.
The Subscription Problem
Most legal exhibit stamping software requires annual subscriptions regardless of how often you actually use it:
Final Exhibits 2
$70-$95/year
Even if you stamp exhibits twice a year
Adobe Acrobat Pro
$239.88/year
Massive overkill for just exhibit stamping
Bluebeam Revu
$420/year
Enterprise pricing for a simple task
E-Sticker
$225-$400/year
Annual commitment required
The math doesn't work: If you stamp 20 documents per year, a $95 subscription costs $4.75 per document. If you stamp 5 documents, that's $19 each.

When Subscriptions Make Sense
If you're a litigation-heavy firm processing 100+ exhibits per month consistently, an annual subscription can be more cost-effective. Final Exhibits at $95/year or ExhibitPrep's $29/month both work well at that volume.
But for most practitioners: Solo attorneys, family law practitioners, transactional lawyers who occasionally need exhibits—pay-per-use eliminates waste. Why pay for 12 months when you need the tool for 3 afternoons?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stamp exhibits without a subscription?
Yes. ExhibitPrep offers pay-per-use pricing starting at $4.99 per document with no subscription required. You can also purchase a Day Pass ($8.99) for unlimited stamping within 24 hours. There are no annual fees, no automatic renewals, and no commitment. Pay only when you need to stamp exhibits.
How does pay-per-use exhibit stamping work?
With ExhibitPrep, you upload your documents, configure your exhibit labels, and preview for free. You only pay when you download the stamped files. Single documents cost $4.99 each. For multiple documents, a Day Pass ($8.99) provides better value—stamp unlimited exhibits within 24 hours.
Why do most exhibit stamping tools require subscriptions?
Traditional legal software follows the enterprise model: annual licenses justify ongoing development and support costs. However, for exhibit stamping—a task most practitioners need occasionally—subscription models create waste. If you stamp exhibits twice a month, a $95/year subscription means paying for features you rarely use.
What if I need to stamp exhibits regularly?
For high-volume users (50+ documents/month), ExhibitPrep offers a Monthly plan at $29/month with unlimited stamping and cancel-anytime flexibility. Unlike annual subscriptions, there's no long-term commitment. If your needs change, simply cancel—no penalties, no wasted fees.
Is pay-per-use exhibit stamping secure?
ExhibitPrep processes all documents in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never upload to any server—PDF processing happens locally on your device. This architecture eliminates data exposure risks entirely. After stamping, files exist only on your computer. No cloud storage, no server logs, no third-party access.
