The e-signature everyone already accepts
Docusign's advantage is not the product, it is that a brand's legal team has already approved it. For a creator signing sponsorship agreements that is worth more than a cheaper competitor. The personal plan's five envelopes a month is the constraint to check before subscribing.
Contracts and invoices for a solo freelancer
Indy puts proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking and a client portal in one place, priced for one person rather than for a firm. The free plan allows three of each a month, which fits somebody taking a handful of brand deals a year. Anybody past that will hit the cap in a week and the paid tier is billed two years at a time.
Our note
Bonsai does the same job with better templates and costs more. Indy is the one to pick if the free tier covers your volume, and the two-year lock is the reason to think twice about the paid one.
