How Pay-Per-Use eSignature Solutions Save Money for Small Businesses

Are you a small business owner tired of wasting money on expensive subscription plans just to get documents signed? Meet your new best friend: pay-per-use eSignature solutions. You only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective game-changer. Below, we explore how these solutions can save you money, backed by real-life case studies and ROI calculations.

What is Pay-Per-Use eSignature?

Pay-per-use eSignature solutions let businesses pay only for the documents they send. No hidden fees, no costly subscriptions, and best of all, no extra costs for team members. It's a straightforward model that benefits smaller enterprises that may not need to send a large volume of documents each month.

Real Cost Savings

Case Study: The Cost Efficiency of GoodSign

Meet Laura, the owner of a boutique marketing agency. Laura previously used an eSignature solution that cost her $40 per month, even though she only sent around 10 documents monthly. Switching to GoodSign saved her an impressive $25 per month. Let's break down the numbers:

  • Previous Solution: $40/month

  • Documents Sent: 10

  • Cost Per Document: $4

  • GoodSign: $1.50 per envelope

  • Documents Sent: 10

  • Total Cost: $15

Monthly Savings: $25

Multiply these savings over a year, and Laura's business saves $300. That's money she can reinvest back into her business for more critical needs.

Understanding ROI

Return on Investment (ROI) is crucial when selecting any business tool. With pay-per-use eSignature platforms like GoodSign, calculating ROI becomes straightforward.

Example ROI Calculation

Let's assume your small business sends 30 documents a month. Here’s how you can calculate your ROI:

  • Subscription Service Cost: $50/month

  • Cost Per Document with Subscription Service: $1.67

  • Pay-Per-Use Service (GoodSign): $1.50 per document

  • Total Cost with GoodSign: 30 documents x $1.50 = $45/month

Monthly Savings: $50 - $45 = $5

While the savings might seem modest with just 30 documents, consider the compounded savings as your document volume increases. Over a year, that $5/month turns into $60/year. That's not counting additional savings from not having to manage a cumbersome subscription.

Additional Benefits

No Extra Costs for Team Members

Most subscription-based eSignature solutions charge extra fees for team collaboration. GoodSign doesn’t. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or manage a small team, you'll pay the same low rate without worrying about additional charges.

Full Feature Access without Plans

Many eSignature solutions gate essential features behind expensive plans. Not with GoodSign. For just $1.50 per envelope, you get access to all features, no strings attached. This ensures that small businesses can operate efficiently without sacrificing functionality.

Key Takeaways
