Pricing
Pay for the people who file.Everyone else is free.
LienShield is priced per person, not per company. Your crew, your office manager, your accountant and your attorney can all be on the same job — you only pay for the ones who actually prepare and send documents.

A plan covers one person.
Deadline reminder emails and scheduled reports go to the person whose own plan includes them, so if your office manager is on Premium, that does not put the crew on Premium. Anyone who wants LienShield emailing them about a deadline needs their own paid plan.
Anyone who just needs to see the job is free, forever.
Every plan covers the same 49 of the 56 US lien jurisdictions. Not covered: American Samoa, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, New Hampshire, Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico. State guides
Prices in US dollars. Annual plans are charged upfront and every plan renews automatically until you cancel. Refunds within 14 days if no documents have been generated: Terms §3.
Teams are free. Plans are personal.
One person creates the organization and owns the projects. Invite anyone — your field supervisor, your bookkeeper, outside counsel. They accept the invitation, join the team, and immediately see every project, deadline and document on it. That costs nothing, and it does not change what they pay.
What their own plan decides is what they can do:
Freetheir own plan
- Sees the whole job
- Can ask a teammate to file
- Files documents
- 3 a month
- Gets deadline emails
- Gets scheduled reports
Protheir own plan
- Sees the whole job
- Can ask a teammate to file
- Files documents
- Unlimited
- Gets deadline emails
- Gets scheduled reports
Premiumtheir own plan

- Can ask a teammate to file
- Files documents
- Unlimited
- Gets deadline emails
- Gets scheduled reports
Nobody is ever added to a team without accepting an invitation, joining a team never touches your own subscription, and you can leave at any time.
And what a role decides
You choose each person's role when you invite them. A role says what they may do in this team; it costs nothing either way.
Filers
Prepare, sign off and file notices, liens and waivers.
Roles: Admin, Manager
- Create documents and mark them sent or filed
- See every project, deadline and document
- Invite teammates (only admins invite admins)
- Admins also manage the team and its settings
Contributors
Keep projects and job dates up to date from the field.
Role: Field Worker
- Add projects and log job dates
- Upload evidence when their own plan includes the evidence vault
- Ask a teammate to prepare a notice or lien
- Cannot create or file documents
Watchers
Stay informed without being able to change anything.
Role: Viewer
- See every project, deadline and document
- Get the deadline reminder emails when their own plan includes them
- Read-only: cannot change anything, and cannot send anything to an owner or GC
Example
One paid person, a whole crew
A subcontractor's accounts-receivable manager is the only person who prepares and sends documents, so she is the only one on a paid plan. The project managers and superintendents join her team for free: they see every project and every deadline, log job dates, and ask her for a lien when a job goes unpaid. Outside counsel and the controller join for free too, read-only. Nobody but her is billed, and nobody but her gets the reminder emails.
What counts as a document?
A document is any notice, lien, waiver, demand letter, bond claim or other filing LienShield prepares for you. It counts once, when it is created. Editing a draft, downloading the PDF again, or marking it sent or filed does not count again.
The monthly document count resets on your own billing-cycle day: the day of the month your account was created.

Everyone on a team can open the evidence vault and download what is in it. A paid plan is what lets you add to it.
Questions, answered
Do I have to buy a plan for everyone on my crew?
No. Only for the people who prepare and send documents. Everyone else joins free and sees the same projects, deadlines and documents you do. Teams are free. Invite anyone; they accept, join and immediately see every project, deadline and document on the team, and it costs nothing and does not change what they pay.
My office manager is on Premium. Will my superintendent get the deadline emails?
No. Reminder emails go to the person whose own plan includes them. If your superintendent needs LienShield to email him, he needs his own Pro or Premium plan. He can see every deadline in the app for free either way.
Can someone be on more than one team?
Yes. One plan, however many teams. A bookkeeper who works for three contractors joins all three and pays once, or nothing at all if she only needs to look. Joining a team never moves your subscription and never exposes your other teams to it.
What happens to my documents if I cancel?
Nothing is deleted. You keep access to everything already prepared and filed, and your team keeps seeing the projects. You just stop being able to create new documents beyond the Free allowance, and stop receiving reminder emails.
What counts as a document?
A document is any notice, lien, waiver, demand letter, bond claim or other filing LienShield prepares for you. It counts once, when it is created. Editing a draft, downloading the PDF again, or marking it sent or filed does not count again. The monthly document count resets on your own billing-cycle day: the day of the month your account was created.
What happens when I have used my 3 free documents?
Deadline tracking, projects and every document you have already created keep working, and so does your team's access to them. Creating a new document waits until your monthly count resets, or until you move to Pro or higher, which include unlimited documents. The count is yours: it does not follow you between teams and it is not shared with anyone.
How does annual billing work?
Annual plans are charged once a year, upfront: Pro $180 and Premium $390. That works out to $15 a month and $32.50 a month, and saves $48 and $78 a year compared with paying monthly. Every plan renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You change your own plan on this page or on the Billing page in LienShield, and before anything changes you see exactly what Stripe will charge or credit. Upgrades are prorated and charged right away, and take effect only once that payment succeeds. Moving to a smaller plan credits the unused time to your next invoice. Your plan is yours: changing it never affects a teammate, and nobody is ever removed from a team over billing.
How do I cancel?
Open Billing in LienShield and choose Cancel subscription. We show you the exact date your plan ends before you confirm, and email you a copy. You keep your plan until the end of the period you have already paid for; then you move to Free. Nothing is deleted — your projects, deadlines and documents stay available, and you stay on every team you belong to — and you can resume with one click any time before that date.
What if a payment fails?
Stripe retries the card and we email you. Your plan stays active for 14 days after a payment first fails. After that you are limited to the Free plan until the payment goes through. Nothing is deleted, your teammates are unaffected, and the full plan comes back as soon as it is paid.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. We refund your most recent payment if you ask within 14 days of it and no documents have been generated on the account in that billing period. Email support@lienshield.app; refunds are processed by hand. Section 3 of our Terms governs.
Do you store my card?
No. Payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe's own checkout page. LienShield never sees or stores your card number.
We're on Contractor or the Contractor's Bundle. What changes?
Nothing, unless you choose to switch. Those plans are no longer sold, and existing subscriptions keep their price and limits; the Billing page shows them as Legacy. If you switch to a current plan, you can't switch back.
Do you have a plan for larger companies?
Pricing is per person, so a larger company buys a plan for each person who prepares and sends documents; everyone else joins their team for free. A supervisor who wants the reminder emails needs their own Pro. If you need terms that take a conversation, email support@lienshield.app.
Something else? Email support@lienshield.app.
Start free. Invite your whole team.
3 documents a month and deadline tracking in the app, for you and for everyone you invite. Pay only when you want LienShield emailing you and filing without a limit. No card needed.
