Docusign vs Leegality (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Docusign if

• Fits if your clients and partners already expect a Docusign envelope
• Works for teams that want web forms and payment at signing on one plan, Business Pro

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a small team, at $25 a head a month even paying the year upfront
• Tight if you send a lot, as each user gets 100 envelopes a year, or 10 a month on monthly plans, and extras are billed one by one
• Skip it if you might cancel early, as the annual plan billed monthly holds you to the year after 30 days
• Watch out: SMS delivery is from $0.36 a message and ID checks from $2.40 each after the first five
• Not for you if you need SSO, Salesforce, HIPAA or data residency, which are sold only on custom Enhanced plans

Pick Leegality if

• Fits if you collect Aadhaar-based signatures from customers in India
• Makes sense if you also need stamp paper on the same agreement

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you sign under US or EU rules, since it is built around Indian law and Aadhaar
• Tight if you want more than 1 user and 1 workflow, as that is all Basic allows
• Pricey if you need stamping, billed on top at INR 45 per stamp paper plus duty and INR 500 per order
• Watch out: minimum purchases are 100 eSign credits and 30 stamp papers
• Watch out: prices are in rupees only, and larger plans are quoted after a demo
