Paperless Pipeline pricing, in short: you pay by how many new transactions you open each month, not by user. Plans run from $69 a month for up to 5 new transactions to $715 for 450, then $1.65 each. The optional Commission Module raises the bill to $127–$900. Every plan has unlimited users, free setup and no contract.

That’s the whole price list, and Paperless Pipeline publishes all of it, which is rarer than it should be. Below: every tier as listed in October 2026, what counts as a transaction, what the add-ons cost, how prices changed this spring, worked examples next to Closingbird, and who Paperless Pipeline genuinely suits better.

Key takeaways

Nine tiers by new transactions a month: $69 (up to 5), $140 (10), $190 (25), $240 (40), $335 (80), $425 (150), $540 (250), $645 (350) and $715 (450, then $1.65 each).
Users are unlimited on every tier, so adding agents or admins never changes the price.
The Commission Module is optional and adds $58 to $185 a month depending on tier.
Pipeline eSign is billed in blocks of 10 signature requests; the block price isn’t on the pages we checked.
Prices rose 6–10% between March and May 2026, according to Internet Archive copies of the pricing page.
Month to month with free setup and a 14-day trial; partial months aren’t prorated when you cancel.

Disclosure: we make Closingbird, which competes with Paperless Pipeline for some customers. Prices below come from Paperless Pipeline’s own pages, checked on October 21, 2026, and Internet Archive copies of its pricing page, all linked at the end. Where it’s the better fit, we say so.

How much does Paperless Pipeline cost?

Paperless Pipeline costs $69 to $715 a month for transaction management, depending on how many new transactions you open that month, or $127 to $900 with the Commission Module. Here is every tier as listed on its pricing page in October 2026:

New transactions a month	Monthly price	With Commission Module
Up to 5	$69	$127
Up to 10	$140	$198
Up to 25	$190	$254
Up to 40	$240	$304
Up to 80	$335	$454
Up to 150	$425	$550
Up to 250	$540	$665
Up to 350	$645	$830
450+	$715 for 450, then $1.65 each	$900, then $1.65 each

Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited storage (on a rolling 10-year retention), free setup and no contract. Paperless Pipeline’s own example: a brokerage opening 500 transactions a month pays $715 plus 50 × $1.65, or $797.50.

What counts as a transaction in Paperless Pipeline?

A transaction is a new transaction file you create in the month, whether you type it in or create it from a contract with Pipeline AI Create. You’re billed on this month’s new files only; files opened in earlier months don’t count again as they move toward closing. If you go over your tier, you move up to the next one, and you can move back down in a slower month. Your first 30 days after upgrading are unlimited, so you can load every open deal and old file without paying for a bigger tier.

This is the main difference from Closingbird, which counts how many files are open at the same time rather than how many you start. A business that opens 20 files a month and keeps each open about 40 days carries roughly 27 at once.

Did Paperless Pipeline raise its prices in 2026?

Yes. Internet Archive copies of the pricing page show the old prices on March 13, 2026 and the current ones by May 15, 2026. The 350-transaction tier appeared later. The rise was 6% to 10% depending on tier:

Tier	Oct 2025 and Mar 2026	May 2026 onward	Change
Up to 5	$65	$69	+6%
Up to 25	$175	$190	+9%
Up to 80	$305	$335	+10%
Up to 250	$495	$540	+9%
Unlimited / 450+	$675, then $1.50 each	$715, then $1.65 each	+6% (+10% per extra)
Commission Module at 5	$119	$127	+7%

If a review site or an older comparison quotes a lower starting price, it is probably out of date. Use the vendor’s page.

What does the Paperless Pipeline Commission Module cost?

The Commission Module adds $58 a month on the smallest tiers and up to $185 on the largest: $58 at 5 and 10 transactions, $64 at 25 and 40, $119 at 80, $125 at 150 and 250, and $185 at 350 and 450+. Paperless Pipeline says it adds splits, caps, fees, agent net statements and automatically generated CDAs, and it’s optional. Closingbird includes commission lines and a CDA PDF on every plan, which covers a coordinator’s needs but not cap tracking or agent statements. For brokerage-grade commission tools, see the best commission disbursement software.

How much do Pipeline eSign and Pipeline AI cost?

Pipeline eSign is usage-based: you set a monthly limit and are billed in blocks of 10 signature requests for what your team actually sends, with no per-user fee and no contract. Paperless Pipeline’s example: set a limit of 120, send 64, and you pay for 7 blocks. Unused requests don’t carry over. Neither the eSign page nor the pricing page we checked shows the price of a block, so ask for it. Paperless Pipeline also integrates with DocuSign and Dropbox Sign.

Pipeline AI reads contract documents and fills in transaction fields for you to review, and compares amendments with the existing file. The pricing page doesn’t list a separate AI charge; a file created with AI Create counts as one transaction. Closingbird includes e-signatures on every plan, and contract reading draws on a monthly AI allowance included with each plan.

Does Paperless Pipeline have a free trial, contract or setup fee?

It has a 14-day free trial with no card, no contract and no setup fee. The trial includes every feature and up to 9 transactions, and Paperless Pipeline says it will extend it by 7 days if you’re still evaluating. Billing is month to month and you cancel by email, but partial months aren’t prorated, so time a cancellation to your billing date. Free setup covers configuring your account, importing existing transactions and training your admins.

What would Paperless Pipeline cost compared with Closingbird?

For a coordinator, Paperless Pipeline usually costs more than Closingbird; for a brokerage with many users, it usually costs less. Published prices only, before tax, assuming each file stays open about 40 days:

Business	Paperless Pipeline	Closingbird
Solo TC, 8 new files a month (about 11 open)	Up to 10: $140/month ($1,680/year)	Solo: $49/month, or $490 billed yearly
3-person TC team, 20 new files a month (about 27 open)	Up to 25: $190/month ($2,280/year)	Team: $129/month, or $1,290 billed yearly
12-person brokerage, 20 new deals a month, with commissions	Up to 25 with Commission Module: $254/month ($3,048/year)	Brokerage: $299/month, or $2,990 billed yearly (more than 5 seats needed)
40 people, 80 new deals a month	Up to 80: $335/month ($454 with commissions), all 40 users included	Brokerage covers 25 seats, so this one favours Paperless Pipeline

For coordinators, Closingbird usually costs less because it prices by open files and seats and includes e-signatures. For brokerages with many people and moderate volume, Paperless Pipeline’s unlimited users usually win. Closingbird’s plan details are in plans, trial and active-transaction limits, and the full market is in transaction coordinator software pricing 2026.

Who is Paperless Pipeline the better fit for?

Brokerages where many agents, admins and staff all need logins: the price never changes with headcount.
Brokers who want splits, caps and agent net statements from the same system (the Commission Module).
Offices with steady volume that like a published, month-to-month price with free setup and import.

Closingbird fits better when the main user is a coordinator or small team running files day to day, who wants the executed contract read, deadlines tracked with reminders to each owner, and e-signatures, invoicing and a CRM in the same price.
