Docusign

Common questions

Is there a free plan for Docusign?

No. Docusign has no free tier, and pricing runs on an annual commitment rather than pay-as-you-go. Personal starts at $11 a month, billed as a $132 annual commitment, and annual plans overall are advertised at up to 44 percent off.

How many envelopes can I send on the Docusign Personal plan?

Five a month, and that is the number that catches people out on the cheapest plan. Standard, at $30 a user a month, raises the allowance to 100 envelopes a user a year and adds templates plus branding.

Why choose Docusign over a cheaper e-signature tool?

Mainly because the name is already cleared. A brand's legal team has often approved Docusign already, which removes an argument before a creator even sends the sponsorship agreement over. A cheaper competitor can be functionally fine and still get pushed back on for not being it.

Does Docusign work for freelancers who also need invoicing?

Not on its own. Docusign is built around signing, with an audit trail on every envelope and reusable templates for sending the same agreement again. A freelancer who also wants proposals and invoicing should look at Bonsai instead, which bundles all three.

Does Docusign connect to other tools?

Yes, Docusign lists more than 1,000 integrations, so an envelope can be sent from whatever tool the document already lives in.
