[ Start Signing Free → ](/register) No credit card required ## Why small businesses choose GoodSign Traditional eSignature platforms charge monthly per user. That model punishes small teams who send documents occasionally. GoodSign flips the model: you pay only when you actually send. - No Wasted Subscription Months Busy month? Send 50 documents. Quiet month? Send nothing and pay nothing. You are never locked into monthly fees that drain your budget during slow periods. - No Per-User Fees Add your entire team at no extra cost. No per-seat pricing, no user limits. Everyone on your team gets full access to every feature. - Credits Never Expire Buy credits when you need them and use them whenever you are ready. There is no expiration date, no use-it-or-lose-it pressure. - All Features from Day One No feature tiers, no premium upgrades. Templates, branding, bulk send, API, audit trails, team accounts — everything is included with your very first document. ## Everything your small business needs Professional eSignature features that scale with your business. No premium tiers to unlock. - Reusable Templates Save your standard contracts, proposals, and forms as templates. Send them again with pre-placed fields in seconds. - Custom Branding Add your logo and brand colours to documents and signing emails. Present a professional, consistent experience to your clients. - Team Collaboration Invite your whole team with no per-user fees. Control who can send, view, and manage documents across your organisation. - Zapier Integration Connect GoodSign to 5,000+ apps. Trigger document sends from form submissions, CRM updates, or any workflow event. - Auto Reminders Never chase a signature again. Automatic email and SMS reminders nudge signers who have not responded. - Bulk Send Send the same document to many recipients at once.
