### Lock In Your Early Adopter Advantage with Guaranteed Legacy Pricing

Rewarding your first believers is one of the smartest moves a growing SaaS company can make. Our **Early Adopter Pricing Grandfathering Agreement** template helps you formalize legacy rate commitments, preserve feature access, and build loyalty with the customers who took a chance on you when you were just getting started.

Built specifically for **SaaS founders, product managers, and customer success teams**, this template transforms verbal promises into clear, documented agreements that protect both your early users and your brand reputation. Whether you're transitioning out of beta, launching a new pricing tier, or migrating to a more sustainable business model, this form ensures your early adopters feel valued—and locked into rates that reward their trust.

#### Why early adopter agreements matter

When customers join during beta or pre-launch, they're taking a risk on an unproven product. In return, many expect—and deserve—preferential treatment as your pricing evolves. A grandfathering agreement makes those expectations explicit, covering legacy rate locks, feature preservation, upgrade paths, and renewal terms in one clear document.

This template captures essential details like current pricing, guaranteed future access, and optional upgrade incentives, then routes everything through conditional logic so each user receives the right terms based on their plan and tenure. You can collect eSignatures via **Papersign** (papersign.com) to make it legally binding, and use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to trigger onboarding emails, update your CRM, and notify your finance team—all automatically.

#### Built for SaaS teams that value transparency and trust

Paperform's doc-style editor lets you brand every detail of this agreement to match your startup's voice, embed video messages from your founder, and add custom calculations to show exactly what users save versus standard pricing. Because trust is built on clarity, the form adapts in real time: answer a few questions and the terms, discount percentages, and commitment periods adjust accordingly.

Perfect for software companies, B2B SaaS platforms, app developers, and any digital product team moving from beta to general availability, this template scales with you—from your first 100 users to your first 10,000.

#### Automate the entire workflow

Connect this form to your payment processor, CRM, customer success platform, or accounting software via native integrations or Stepper workflows. Send personalized confirmation emails with locked-in pricing summaries, trigger Slack notifications for your CS team, and keep a tidy audit trail of every agreement signed. With Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and data residency controls, you can confidently collect and store sensitive subscriber information.

Start recognizing the customers who believed in you first. Use this template to honor their loyalty, lock in legacy pricing, and turn early adopters into lifelong advocates.
