Set up escrow

Request a demo

No manual uploads

Connect your repo or services once. We handle deposits automatically.

Every commit, every deployment, every change — reflected in escrow without your team having to touch it. Traditional escrow providers make you manage deposits yourself. We don't.

No lawyer meetings

We prepare the legal agreement. You review and sign.

Our team structures the escrow agreement, handles the back-and-forth between parties, and gets everything signed. You don't need to understand legal terms or bring in external counsel for standard cases.

No maintenance overhead

Set it up once. Escrow runs in the background from there.

Once you're connected, there's nothing to maintain. Deposits stay current, the agreement stays active, and your client always has up-to-date proof — without you having to think about it.

Instant proof for clients

Escrow certificates ready the moment you're active.

Share a clear, verifiable certificate with your client the moment escrow is set up. No chasing reports, no explaining technical details — just proof that escrow is in place and current.

Software Escrow

For on-premises software that clients install and run themselves.

Source code, documentation, and supporting materials — all deposited automatically with a legally structured agreement in place. Your client gets a recovery path. You keep full ownership of your IP.

SaaS escrow

For cloud-based applications your clients access as a service.

Continuity Escrow

For software that depends on third-party services staying active.

Frequently asked questions

What are software escrow services?

Software escrow services are agreements where a neutral third party securely holds your software assets — source code, cloud environments, or service credentials — on behalf of you and your client. The assets are only released if predefined conditions are met. Software-Escrow.com provides fully automated escrow services designed specifically for development teams.

What makes Software-Escrow.com different from other escrow providers?

Most escrow providers are built for legal and compliance teams — which means manual deposits, slow setup, and a lot of back-and-forth. Software-Escrow.com was built for developers. Deposits are automated through 50+ integrations, the legal agreement is handled by our team, and you can be set up in 5 minutes. No manual uploads, no lawyer meetings, no maintenance overhead.

How do I know which software escrow service do I need?

It depends on how your software is built. If it's installed on your client's systems, Software Escrow covers you. If it's cloud-based, SaaS Escrow is the right fit. If your application depends on third-party services staying active, Continuity Escrow adds that layer. And if you just need to protect your codebase specifically, source code escrow is the focused option. Not sure? Talk to us and we'll point you in the right direction.

How quickly can I get set up with Software-Escrow.com?

Most escrow services can be active in 5 minutes. You connect your repositories or services, we handle the legal agreement setup, and you get an escrow certificate as soon as everything is in place. There's no lengthy implementation process or technical integration work on your end.

Do I need a lawyer to use your escrow services?

No. We prepare the legal agreement for you using a structured framework that covers standard cases. You review it, both parties sign, and we handle the rest. If your client has specific requirements or needs custom terms, our team manages that too.

How do deposits stay current?

Once you connect your repositories, cloud platforms, or services, deposits update automatically every day. Every change to your codebase or environment is reflected in escrow without your team having to do anything. You'll never have an outdated deposit without knowing about it.

What proof do your escrow services provide?

Every escrow service includes an escrow certificate that confirms what's been deposited and when. You can share this with your client, their procurement team, or any auditors who need proof that escrow is in place. Optional verification services provide additional proof that deposited materials are complete, current, and recoverable.

How much do software escrow services cost?

Pricing depends on the type of escrow and level of protection you need. Software Escrow starts from R1,579/mo, SaaS Escrow from R2,699/mo, and Continuity Escrow from R6,499/mo. All plans include automated deposits, legal agreement setup, and an escrow certificate.
