Transparent Pricing
Stop guessing what your bill will be. Our straightforward pricing means you get powerful features without hidden fees or surprise charges. We believe in value, not vendor lock-in.
DOCUSIGN ALTERNATIVE
The DocuSign Alternative That Puts Value and Simplicity First
Get the enterprise-grade security and legal compliance you need, without the complex pricing and feature bloat. Start signing documents in minutes, not months.
The Better Way
Finally, a solution that works for you, not against you.
You're here because your current e-signature solution isn't working. Whether it's the surprisingly high bill at the end of the month, the overly complex interface that confuses your team, or the restrictive API that stifles innovation, you know there has to be a better way.
DocuSign is a powerful tool, but it's not the right fit for everyone. eSignly was built for businesses that demand security and functionality but refuse to overpay for complexity. We provide a streamlined, legally binding, and secure e-signature platform that is both powerful for enterprises and accessible for startups. It's time for a solution that works for you, not against you.
Our Core Philosophy
We believe that enterprise-grade security and legal compliance should be the baseline, not a premium feature. By eliminating bloat and prioritizing intuitive design, we empower your team to focus on closing deals and growing the business, not fighting with software.
TRUSTED BY GLOBAL LEADERS
Why Are So Many Businesses Searching for a DocuSign Alternative?
While they pioneered the space, many users find themselves facing the same challenges. Does any of this sound familiar?
Unpredictable, High Costs
You start on a seemingly affordable plan, but envelope limits, user fees, and charges for essential features quickly lead to bills that are multiples of what you expected.
Unnecessary Complexity
The platform is packed with features, but your team only uses 10% of them. The rest just clutters the interface, making it harder to do simple tasks and requiring lengthy training.
Restrictive and Expensive API
You want to embed signing into your app, but the API is poorly documented, support is non-existent on lower tiers, and the pricing makes it unviable for your business model.
Lack of Personalization
Your customers are forced through a DocuSign-branded experience, diluting your brand identity and creating a disjointed customer journey.
eSignly: All the Power, None of the Problems
We built eSignly by listening to the frustrations of users like you. We focused on four key areas to deliver a superior experience:
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our plans are simple and all-inclusive. You get generous allowances and access to powerful features without worrying about hidden fees. Our goal is to provide incredible value, not to nickel-and-dime you.
Radical Simplicity
Our interface is clean, intuitive, and fast. We believe you shouldn't need a manual to send a contract. Your team can be up and running in minutes, focusing on their work, not on learning new software.
A Developer's Best Friend
Our REST API is robust, well-documented, and built for integration. With predictable pricing and expert support, you can finally build the embedded signing experiences you've always wanted.
Your Brand, Front and Center
Customize the signing experience with your logo and brand colors. Provide a seamless, professional journey that builds your brand's credibility, not ours.

Marketing Agency Cuts Proposal-to-Close Time by 40% After Switching from DocuSign
Client Overview
A mid-sized digital marketing agency with 35 employees was struggling with a slow and expensive sales process. Their reliance on a high-tier DocuSign plan for basic features was straining their budget, and the complex interface was causing delays as sales reps struggled to create and send custom proposals quickly.
The Problem
The agency's growth was being throttled by their document workflow. The high cost of their DocuSign subscription was a constant budget concern, and the platform's complexity meant that only a few trained individuals could efficiently use it, creating bottlenecks in the sales process. They needed a more affordable, user-friendly DocuSign alternative.
Challenges
- High monthly subscription costs disproportionate to their actual usage.
- A complex user interface that required specialized training and slowed down the sales team.
- Inability to easily brand proposals without being on the most expensive enterprise plan.
- Delays in closing deals as clients waited for revised paper or PDF contracts.
Solution
The agency migrated to eSignly's Business plan. The solution involved creating reusable templates for their standard proposals and SOWs, which empowered every sales rep to quickly customize and send contracts. They utilized the branding feature to ensure a professional, consistent look. The simple, intuitive interface required virtually no training, allowing the entire team to adopt the platform immediately.
Key Outcomes
- Reduced annual software spend on e-signatures by 60%.
- Decreased the average time to get a proposal signed from 5 days to 3 days.
- Increased sales team productivity by eliminating workflow bottlenecks.
Lauren Gentry
Director of Sales, Pixel Perfect Digital
"Switching to eSignly was a game-changer. We're saving over $6,000 a year, but the real win is speed. Our team can now send a branded proposal in minutes, and clients sign faster. It's simpler, more affordable, and just works."
Healthcare Tech Startup Achieves HIPAA Compliance and Embeds Signing with eSignly API
Client Overview
A startup providing a patient management platform needed a secure, HIPAA-compliant way to handle patient consent forms and telehealth agreements. Their initial plan to use DocuSign's API was abandoned due to exorbitant costs and the requirement for a high-priced enterprise plan to ensure HIPAA compliance. They needed a developer-friendly alternative that was both secure and cost-effective.
The Problem
The startup's core functionality depended on capturing legally binding, HIPAA-compliant electronic signatures within their web application. The high cost and complexity of DocuSign's API for healthcare put their entire business model at risk. They needed an API-first solution that didn't treat security and compliance as a luxury add-on.
Challenges
- Finding an e-signature API that would sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for HIPAA compliance.
- Prohibitive API pricing from incumbent providers.
- Needing a seamless, white-label signing experience to keep users within their platform.
- Requiring a solution with robust security and a clear audit trail to pass healthcare audits.
Solution
eSignly's API plan provided the perfect fit. eSignly executed a BAA, ensuring full HIPAA compliance. The development team used the clear REST API documentation and sandbox to quickly build and test an embedded signing workflow for patient consent forms. The predictable, volume-based pricing allowed them to scale their user base without unpredictable costs.
Key Outcomes
- Achieved 100% HIPAA compliance for their document workflows.
- Reduced projected annual API costs by over 75% compared to DocuSign's quote.
- Launched their core product feature 4 weeks ahead of schedule due to rapid API integration.
Samuel Gordon
CTO, CareFlow Health
"eSignly's API and their approach to security saved our product. We got the HIPAA compliance we needed at a price a startup can actually afford. Their documentation is fantastic, and we were able to get a proof-of-concept running in a single afternoon."
National Retailer Streamlines HR Onboarding Across 50 Locations with eSignly
Client Overview
A national retail chain with over 2,000 employees across 50 stores was drowning in paperwork for new hires. Their decentralized HR process, which relied on printing, signing, scanning, and emailing documents, was slow, error-prone, and created a poor experience for new employees. They needed a centralized solution to digitize and standardize onboarding.
The Problem
The company lacked a standardized system for new hire paperwork, leading to inconsistent data collection, lost documents, and significant compliance risks. The manual process was a huge administrative burden on both store managers and the central HR team, and it failed to make a good first impression on new employees.
Challenges
- Managing onboarding for a distributed workforce across 50+ locations.
- High risk of incomplete or missing new hire paperwork.
- No central visibility into the status of onboarding documents.
- A slow, frustrating experience for both managers and new employees.
Solution
The HR team implemented eSignly's Enterprise plan, leveraging its team management and template features. They created a standardized 'New Hire Packet' template including offer letters, tax forms, and policy handbooks. Store managers were given access to send this packet, while the central HR team maintained full visibility and control from the main dashboard. The bulk send feature was also used for annual policy updates.
Key Outcomes
- Reduced new hire paperwork completion time from an average of 4 days to 2 hours.
- Eliminated 100% of errors related to missing signatures or incomplete forms.
- Saved an estimated 20 hours per week in administrative work across the organization.
Rachel Manning
VP of Human Resources, Urban Style Collective
"eSignly transformed our onboarding process. What used to take days of back-and-forth now takes 15 minutes. Our store managers are happier, our new hires are impressed, and our compliance is rock-solid. The ability to track everything from one dashboard is incredible."

Our signatures are legally valid and enforceable in the United States, the European Union, and many other countries worldwide.

With our custom branding features, the experience will feel like a seamless part of your service, which often improves customer perception.
What kind of support do you offer during migration?

Can I import my templates and documents from DocuSign?
While there is no direct import tool due to the proprietary nature of platforms, eSignly's template creation process is extremely fast. Most users find they can recreate their key templates in just a few minutes per document. You can also upload your existing PDFs to get started.
Do you offer HIPAA compliance?
Yes, eSignly is HIPAA compliant. We will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with customers on our qualified plans to ensure you can handle protected health information (PHI) securely and in compliance with regulations.
Is your API pricing as scalable as your SaaS plans?

How secure is my data on your platform?
We utilize AES-256 encryption for data at rest and in transit. With ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR certifications, we ensure your documents are protected by the same rigorous security protocols used by top-tier global financial institutions.

Are there hidden charges if I hit my usage limits?
We value transparency. If you approach your limit, we'll notify you well in advance. Our pricing is designed to be predictable, and we avoid the 'gotcha' fees that surprise users on other platforms. You only pay for what you agree to.
How long does it take to implement the eSignly API?
Built for developers, our REST API is designed for speed. Most of our clients get their first document signed through the API in under one hour. Our clear documentation and sandbox environment make testing and deployment frictionless.
Can I customize the signing experience for my clients?
Yes. Our branding features allow you to upload your company logo, choose your brand colors, and customize the email notification settings. This creates a cohesive, professional experience that reinforces your brand identity with every signature.
What happens if I need to cancel my subscription?
We believe in earning your business every month, not locking you in. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your dashboard. We offer pro-rata refunds for unused time, ensuring you are treated fairly regardless of your contract status.
Do you provide training for my team?
