Can anyone recommend an inexpensive software and source code escrow 
service. 

It seems like this industry is ripe for disruption because the services 
provided can be easily automated. Most services charge a setup fee of about 
$2000 and an ongoing fee of $1000-2000/yr. Are there any inexpensive 
alternatives?

Just my few keyboard presseses about it.

SE can be (in legal means) fully substitued by third party legal company/lawyer if both sides agree to it with written agreement and deposited simple digital copy of source code and exchange of md5 hash of combined archive to prove it is not altered.

But with a common firm at law you can surely get easier pricing with second, third etc customer that requires SE?

But as anything that includes lawyers it will not be cheap - 1000 usd per year seems like quite reasonable pricing. After all if this is so important project that it requires software escrow it should be priced accordingly.

I have used my lawyer's office in the past and it did not cost nearly
that much
