The platform runs on DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure and integrates with Upvise's job management system, allowing subcontractors' digital form submissions to flow into Upvise sales, projects, jobs, timesheets, and equipment modules. Core technical components include computer vision for equipment identification and auto-tagging, offline data capture with automatic sync, and a drag-and-drop no-code form builder.

Sans Paper operates a product-led growth model with 14-day and 30-day free trials and self-serve signup, complemented by inside sales for mid-market and enterprise conversion. Sans Paper Form is priced at $15 per user per month with unlimited submissions, while Sans Paper Connect is priced at $8 per user per month for 1-30 users, with volume discounts down to $6.80/user at the >100 user tier, positioning the company below most named competitors including SafetyCulture ($19), Teamscope ($36), ProntoForms ($45), Kynection ($55), and Formidable Forms ($99). Its go-to-market relies on SEO-optimized comparison landing pages against nine named competitors, a content blog, social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and Mailchimp-driven email nurturing.

Closest direct competitor — same construction/safety vertical, same mobile-first inspection workflow, with substantial venture funding making it the category leader Sans Paper is priced beneath.
