DocuSign pricing alternative
Pay per envelope.
Skip the subscription.
If you're sending 5–30 contracts a year, DocuSign's per-seat subscription is usually the wrong pricing model. GetItSigned is built for low volume: start free, then buy credits when you need them.
When it wins
GetItSigned
- Low-volume senders (a few contracts per month or per year)
- No seat fees
- No auto-renewal
- Credits never expire
- Signers don't need accounts or apps
DocuSign
- Large teams with many seats
- Deep enterprise integrations (Salesforce/M365) today
- Centralized admin + governance
- Bulk send workflows at scale
A simple mental model
If you send documents every day, subscriptions make sense. If you send documents occasionally, paying per envelope is usually cheaper by an order of magnitude.
DocuSign pricing FAQ
- How much does DocuSign cost per month?
- DocuSign plans run from about $10/month (Personal, 1 user, limited sends) to roughly $25–$45+/user/month (Standard and Business Pro), billed annually — so $120–$540+ a year even for occasional signers. GetItSigned has no monthly fee at all: 3 free to start, then credits from $0.50 per document that never expire. You pay only when a document is signed. (Check docusign.com for current pricing.)
- Why is DocuSign so expensive?
- DocuSign is priced for teams: multiple seats, admin controls, integrations, and enterprise security. If you only send a few documents a month (or per year), that subscription model often costs far more than the value you get.
- What's the cheapest way to send legally binding eSignatures?
- For low volume, pay-per-envelope pricing is usually cheapest. GetItSigned starts with 3 free envelopes and then one-time credit bundles (no seats, no auto-renewal).
- Can I cancel DocuSign and still use my signed documents?
- Yes. Signed PDFs remain valid and usable after cancellation. What you lose is the ability to create new DocuSign envelopes under that subscription.
- Is GetItSigned legally binding like DocuSign?
- For ordinary contracts, yes. GetItSigned captures the same evidence courts look for under ESIGN/UETA: affirmative consent, intent to sign, timestamps, IP/user-agent, and SHA-256 hashes in a Certificate of Completion.
