This is the most important part. LLCs tend to be cheaper and more flexible before you raise money, but a C-Corp is basically necessary to raise money. Converting an LLC to C-Corp conversion is often quoted at about $10K from a law firm. With Stripe Atlas, you are set up to make the conversion easily.

$10k isn't the high end, either.

Any ballpark figure on how much it costs with Atlas?

Starts at $500. We can't quote a firm price because you can do things in the company (it is your company, after all) which make it more complicated. There are an infinite number of contracts that a company could hypothetically sign, some of which have interesting implications for conversion. Those contracts have to be read and interpreted; that isn't going to be free for a lawyer.
