SealedScope's dispute protection system walks you through escalation: demand letters, mechanic's liens, small claims guidance, and collections. Every step is backed by your signed evidence.

SealedScope is a digital change order approval tool built specifically for contractors. It lets you document scope changes, get legally binding client signatures, and protect your margins — all from your phone on the job site.

Boss accounts are always free for team management and analytics. To create change orders, your first 3 are free. After that, Pro is $49/month per user (or $39/month on an annual plan). Unlimited change orders and all features included.

Click New Change Order from your dashboard. Add the client name, describe the scope change, set the price, attach photos if needed, and send it for approval via email or QR code.

Yes. You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time from your account settings. You will keep access through the end of your current billing period.

Yes. Every signature captured by SealedScope is legally binding under the federal ESIGN Act (2000). Electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten signatures in all 50 states.

Yes. Every signed change order can be downloaded as a professional PDF that includes the full scope, pricing, client signature, timestamp, and complete audit trail metadata.

We capture: the drawn signature, exact timestamp, IP address, GPS coordinates, device type, operating system, browser, screen size, timezone, network type, battery level, and more. All stored in a tamper-proof evidence record.

Any contractor, tradesperson, or service professional who does work that can change in scope. Electricians, plumbers, GCs, roofers, painters, landscapers, HVAC techs. If your clients ever change their minds mid-job, SealedScope is for you.

Yes. You can start a dispute for any change order that was either declined or approved but unpaid. Both situations give you grounds for escalation.

Yes. Every account gets 3 free change orders, no credit card required. After your 3 free change orders, you will need a Pro subscription to create more.

Yes. Boss accounts can invite workers to create and manage change orders under your company. Boss accounts are always free. Each worker creating change orders needs their own Pro subscription.

We have a complete process guide for that situation. Do not start the extra work without a signature. Document the refusal and protect yourself.

You can still log in, view your existing change orders, manage your team, and check analytics. To create new change orders, you will need to upgrade to Pro. All your data is preserved.

Yes. Every change order includes a complete audit trail: when it was created, sent, viewed, and signed, plus the signer's IP address, device fingerprint, and drawn signature. Courts routinely accept this level of documentation.

Yes. You can attach up to 5 photos directly from your phone camera or gallery. Great for documenting conditions you discovered on site like rotted framing, water damage, or code violations.

You send them a secure link via email or QR code. They open it on any device, review the scope and price, draw their signature with their finger, and submit. Takes about 60 seconds.

Those tools are general-purpose e-signature platforms. SealedScope is purpose-built for contractors. It handles change order pricing, scope documentation, photo evidence, dispute escalation, and trade-specific workflows that generic tools cannot.

No. Pro includes everything: unlimited change orders, all features, all templates, dispute protection, analytics. The price you see is the price you pay.

You pull up the signed record. It shows the exact second they signed, the device they used, the IP address, GPS location, and their drawn signature. The evidence speaks for itself.

Yes. Templates let you save common change order descriptions and line items so you can reuse them on future projects. Fill in the client-specific details and send.

Your signed change orders and records are preserved. You can still log in and view or download them. You just cannot create new change orders without resubscribing.

Yes. Every dispute has a visual pipeline showing its current stage: first demand, second demand, mechanic's lien, small claims or collections, or resolved.

SealedScope is fully mobile optimized. Create and send change orders from any phone on any job site.

We follow data protection best practices. Client data is stored securely, encrypted at rest and in transit. We only collect data necessary for the change order process and signature verification.

Neither. Pro is a flat $49/month. Unlimited change orders, unlimited signatures, unlimited clients. Send as many as you want.

Boss accounts manage the company: set up company info, logo, terms, templates, and invite workers. Workers create change orders under the boss's company. Boss accounts are free for management; both need Pro to create change orders.

No. Once signed, it is locked. That is the whole point. If scope changes again, issue a new change order on top of the first one.

Yes. Signature rates are high because the link is dead simple and works on any phone. No app to install, no account to create. Most signatures happen within 2 hours of sending.

SealedScope compiles everything: the signed change order with full audit trail, signature metadata, view timestamps, demand letters sent, and all communication records.

In the dispute pipeline, advance to the Small Claims / Collections stage. Choose the Collections tab, add your collections agency info, and save. The agency handles recovery for a percentage of the debt.

You can draft the change order and send it once you get signal back. The client signs whenever they have service. Nothing gets lost if you are in a dead zone.

Yes for change order documentation. Some agencies require specific forms on top of this. Use SealedScope alongside those forms to keep your own record of what got approved.

You keep full access until the end of your billing period. After that, all your change orders and signatures stay accessible. You just cannot create new change orders without resubscribing.

No. Only the boss (company owner) can edit company name, logo, license, address, default terms, and templates. Workers can see this info but cannot change it.

Yes. If you are part of a team, you can filter to see all company change orders or just your own. Use the filters on the change orders page.

Unsigned change orders expire after 30 days by default. You get notified if a change order has been pending for 24+ hours so you can send a reminder.

You can export any change order as a PDF or CSV. Most contractors attach the signed PDF to their existing invoice workflow. Direct QuickBooks integration is on our roadmap.

Yes. Boss accounts are always free for managing your company, team, and viewing analytics. The subscription is for creating change orders. Self-employed bosses who do their own change orders get 3 free, then need Pro just like workers.

You do. Export everything to PDF or CSV before you cancel. Your data stays in the app after cancellation so there is no rush.

You have the signed record with the full audit trail. Courts and arbitrators treat this exactly like a wet signature on paper. Signed plus timestamped equals case closed.

Export any change order as a PDF with the full audit trail built in. Hand it straight to your lawyer or the court. Everything they need is in one file.

Yes. Any job where scope can change mid-work is a fit. Warranty disputes, service add-ons, emergency upsells. If the client might say yes to more work, you need it in writing.
