DocuSign prices from ecom.docusign.com and support.docusign.com, September 2026. Annual plans paid upfront are slightly cheaper again (the equivalent of US$10, US$25 and US$40 a month). An envelope counts against the cap when it is sent, whether or not it is signed. Overage is DocuSign's published pay-as-you-go range across plans and billing periods. Prices change; check DocuSign's page before you buy.

DocuSign offers SMS delivery as a metered per-message add-on and API access through separate developer plans (reportedly from $600/year) — neither is included in the subscription tiers above. GoodSign includes SMS delivery and full API access on every plan (SMS sends use one additional credit). We've made our best effort to research each service's pricing; it's possible we've missed something or got something wrong.

DocuSign offers several plans (USD, billed annually): Personal at $11/mo for one user with 5 envelopes per month, Standard at $30 per user per month, and Business Pro at $45 per user per month. Standard and Business Pro are capped at 100 envelopes per user per year, and month-to-month billing costs more. Within those caps DocuSign works out to $2.20–$5.40 per envelope, and per-user fees multiply costs as your team grows.
GoodSign uses a pay-per-document model. Each document costs $1.50 to send. You buy credits upfront, and they never expire. Every feature is included — no tiers, no per-user fees, no monthly subscription.
Creating a GoodSign account is free — you only buy credits when you're ready to send, at $1.50 per document. Unlike DocuSign's time-limited trial, there's no 30-day deadline and nothing to cancel: your account and credits never expire.

GoodSign uses 256-bit encryption, produces tamper-proof PDFs, and maintains detailed audit trails. The platform is ISO 27001 compliant, SOC Type 1 & 2 certified, and PCI certified. Data is stored in secure data centers in the US and Australia.
Personal allows 5 envelopes a month. Standard and Business Pro allow 100 envelopes per user per year on annual billing, or 10 per user per month on monthly billing. An envelope is counted when you send it, even if nobody signs. GoodSign has no envelope limit: you buy credits and each document sent uses one.
DocuSign publishes pay-as-you-go overage of US$3.00 to US$5.80 per envelope, depending on plan and billing period. Two hundred envelopes over the cap can therefore cost more than the subscription itself. GoodSign charges the same $1.50 for the first document and the thousandth.
API access is sold separately from the eSignature plans. The developer Starter plan is US$50 a month billed annually, US$600 a year, for 40 envelopes a month, with higher tiers above it. GoodSign includes the API and an MCP server on every account at the same $1.50 per document. Full comparison in our eSignature API pricing guide.
