Honest comparison

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Great question. Here are five landmines in a ChatGPT-drafted offer letter — each one pulled from disputes Indian courts actually rule on.

Prompting AI
  • 01
    IP ownership
    No IP assignment clause. Under the Indian Copyright Act, the code your dev writes belongs to them by default — not to you.
  • 02
    Termination & probation
    US-style “at-will” language that Indian courts ignore. Firing a bad hire turns into a labour dispute.
  • 03
    Non-compete illusion
    A post-employment non-compete you cannot enforce. Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act voids it — you only thought you were protected.
  • 04
    Intern misclassification
    Intern offer that reads like an employee offer. One labour audit later: reclassified as employee, PF and ESI liability backdated, penalties on top.
  • 05
    Confidentiality after exit
    A confidentiality obligation that ends the day they leave. Your roadmap and customer list walk out with them.
Using Firmly
  • 01
    IP ownership
    Work-for-hire plus explicit IP assignment, drafted for Indian law. The code is yours from line one.
  • 02
    Termination & probation
    Probation and notice clauses drafted under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act. Clean exits, no disputes.
  • 03
    Non-compete illusion
    Non-solicit and confidentiality that courts actually uphold, plus a non-compete only during employment (which is valid).
  • 04
    Intern misclassification
    Stipend-based, fixed-term, learning-scoped framing that survives an audit — intern stays intern.
  • 05
    Confidentiality after exit
    Confidentiality and trade-secret obligations that survive termination. What they learned at the company stays at the company.

Any one of these costs more than every offer letter you'll ever send.

Pricing

Free during early access.
Pricing later — and it'll be small.

We haven't locked in pricing yet. Right now, Firmly is free for everyone — draft as many offer letters as you need, send to as many candidates.

Our promise on price

Code is cheap now — the cost of building software has collapsed this past year, and we don't think SaaS pricing has caught up. When we eventually charge for Firmly, the numbers will reflect that reality. Not 2018-era SaaS pricing for an offer-letter tool.

When paid tiers launch, you'll get at least 30 days' notice in-app, your existing drafts won't be deleted, and you'll get a fair early-user discount for sticking with us through this stage.

FAQ

Common questions

Firmly currently supports offer letters (full-time, intern, ESOP), mutual NDAs, and contractor agreements — all built for Indian startups and Indian law. More document types are coming soon.

Yes, completely free right now. Our focus is on helping early-stage Indian startups get their paperwork right. If our costs grow, we'll figure out a sustainable model — but that's not where our head is at the moment.

The templates are built for Indian law — the Indian Contract Act, Copyright Act, POSH, and DPDP Act. A signed document generated on Firmly is a valid contract. That said, we're not a law firm and can't give you legal advice. For standard startup paperwork, Firmly covers what matters. For complex situations, a legal review on top of Firmly's output is a good call.

Not for everyday startup paperwork. Most early-stage founders don't need a lawyer to send an offer letter or an NDA — they just need the right template with the right clauses. If you're dealing with large equity grants, a senior executive hire, or anything cross-border, a lawyer is worth it. Firmly gives them a clean starting point so you're not paying for the basics.

Most templates you find online are either copied from US startups (wrong jurisdiction, wrong clauses) or so generic they miss the things that actually matter — like IP assignment and post-employment confidentiality. Firmly's templates are built specifically for Indian startups, include the clauses investors look for during diligence, and take under 2 minutes to fill and send.

For everyday startup paperwork — offer letters, NDAs, contractor agreements — Firmly is often sufficient on its own. Our templates are built for Indian law and cover the clauses investors look for during diligence. Where a lawyer adds real value: large equity packages, senior executive agreements, cross-border hires, or if you're in an active dispute. In those cases, Firmly gives your lawyer a clean draft to work from so you're not paying them to start from scratch.
