# Docusign

> E-signature service for sending, signing and tracking agreements

Docusign eSignature lets you upload a document, place signature and form fields, and send it by email to one or more signers, who sign in a browser or the mobile app without an account. Plans are sold by the envelope allowance, and higher tiers add web forms, bulk sending and payment collection. Larger companies can move up to Docusign's agreement management plans, which add AI search and workflow tools.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save up to 33% on an annual plan** (Annual discount): Docusign's pricing page says the annual plan billed monthly saves up to 33% against month-to-month billing, which has a lower envelope allowance. Source: https://ecom.docusign.com/plans-and-pricing/esignature
- **Lower price for paying the year upfront** (Annual discount): Docusign's eSignature page lists Personal at $10, Standard at $25 and Business Pro at $40 per user a month when billed annually ($120, $300 and $480 a year). Source: https://www.docusign.com/products/electronic-signature

## Key features

- **Send and sign:** Upload a document, drag on signature and form fields, set a signing order and send it. Signers do not need a Docusign account.
- **Templates:** Reusable templates on every plan; Standard adds templates shared across the team, and Business Pro adds locked templates.
- **Audit trail and reminders:** Each envelope keeps a real-time audit trail and shows whether it was sent, delivered or completed, with automatic reminders to signers.
- **Web forms and payments:** Business Pro adds mobile-friendly web forms that feed a signing flow, payment collection at signing and bulk sending to many recipients.
- **AI help for signers:** AI-generated summaries and a question-and-answer panel explain an agreement to signers, and AI can suggest where fields should go.
- **Integrations and API:** Cloud storage and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace links on every plan; the API and over 1,000 partner integrations start at Business Pro.

## Good for

- Companies whose customers or partners already expect a Docusign envelope
- Sales and operations teams sending a steady volume of standard agreements
- Larger organizations that need SSO, compliance options and Salesforce links

## Worth knowing

- Standard and Business Pro include 100 envelopes per user a year on annual plans, or 10 a month on monthly plans; envelopes past the allowance are billed one by one.
- Annual plans paid monthly are a one-year commitment: cancelling after the first 30 days means paying the rest of the year.
- SMS delivery costs from $0.36 a message and ID verification from $2.40 an attempt, after five of each included once on Standard and Business Pro.
- SSO, Salesforce and NetSuite integrations, HIPAA support and data residency are sold only with the custom Enhanced plans.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Docusign is the e-signature name most clients already know, with a phone app rated 4.9, web forms, payments and a huge list of integrations. It's also one of the dearest here: three people on Standard pay $75 a month, paid yearly, and that buys 100 envelopes each a year, not unlimited.

- **Value for money: D.** $75 a month for three on Standard, paying the year upfront ($25 a head, or $30 on the annual plan billed monthly). That's this category's dearest tenth, for 100 envelopes each a year, so your 240 fit with a little to spare. Web forms, payments and bulk send need Business Pro at $40.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 30-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. After that even Personal is one user and 5 envelopes a month.
- **Features: B.** Templates, signing order, an audit trail, reminders and AI summaries for signers, then web forms, payment collection and bulk send on Business Pro. It covers the whole job. SSO, HIPAA and Salesforce wait for the custom Enhanced plans, which a small team won't miss.
- **Ease of use: A.** 4.9 from about 830,000 App Store ratings, the biggest following in this category by miles. Signers don't need an account either, which saves your clients a step.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox and Box on every plan, and 1,000+ integrations plus the API from Business Pro. There's no desktop app, so it stops at a B.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Docusign's own pages on 17 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Its pricing page would not load when we checked, but the prices on its eSignature page matched. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Docusign you could make: documents, templates and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $132 a year.

- You could make: Documents, templates and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
