Most people searching for a free electronic signature end up on expensive subscription plans. Here is what the leading DocuSign alternatives actually cost — see our full DocuSign vs GoodSign pricing comparison.
| Platform | Monthly Cost | Documents | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| DocuSign Personal | $15/mo | 5 envelopes/mo | Basic only |
| DocuSign Standard | $45/mo | Unlimited | Templates, reminders |
| DocuSign Business Pro | $65/mo | Unlimited | Bulk send, SMS, branding |
| GoodSign | $0/mo | $1.50/document | All features included |
Send fewer than 30 documents a month? GoodSign saves you money.
At $1.50 per document, you would need to send over 30 documents each month before a DocuSign Standard plan becomes cheaper. Most users send far fewer than that — and still get locked into monthly fees they do not need.
No feature gating. No tiers. Every feature is included with your free electronic signature account from day one. Unlike DocuSign alternatives that lock features behind higher plans, GoodSign gives you everything.

Everything you need to know about GoodSign's free electronic signature platform.
Your GoodSign account is completely free to create and maintain. There is no monthly subscription, no annual commitment, and no hidden fees. You only pay when you send a document for signature — just ${{ price }} per document. If you do not send anything, you pay nothing.
When you create your account, you start with free credits. Each time you send a document for signature, one credit is used — regardless of how many signers are on the document. Credits cost ${{ price }} each. You can buy them in advance or set up auto-topup so you never run out. There are no expiration dates on credits. See our pricing page for details.
Every feature is included with every account. There are no feature tiers, no locked functionality, and no premium upgrades. You get templates, bulk send, audit trails, SMS and email reminders, API access, custom branding, webhooks, and more — all from the start. Check out the full list on our features page.
There is nothing to cancel. Since GoodSign has no monthly subscription, you simply stop sending documents when you no longer need the service. Your account remains active, your signed documents remain stored, and you can come back whenever you need to send something new.
GoodSign is built specifically for people who are looking for a DocuSign alternative without the monthly fees. You get all the same core capabilities — document signing, templates, audit trails, reminders, bulk send, API, and branding — without paying $15 to $65 per month. Most individuals and small teams save significantly with pay-per-document pricing. Learn more about our full electronic signature software.
