4 alternatives, each with a price file
Docusign alternatives, compared by price
The short answer. Four Docusign alternatives have price files here: PandaDoc, Proposify, Dubsado and HoneyBook. PandaDoc is the only one with a free plan, capped at 5 documents a month. Ranked by the cheapest paid plan as a monthly figure, Proposify and PandaDoc start at $19 per user or seat per month billed annually.
Docusign eSignature starts at $10 a month on its Personal plan billed annually upfront, with no free plan. These four tools also put contracts in front of a client for signature, and each has its own price file on this site.
The alternatives
Sorted by each tool's cheapest paid plan as a monthly figure (a yearly price is divided by 12), lowest first. Per-user and flat prices are different units: the Billed column says which. For reference, Docusign itself starts at $10/mo (billed annually upfront ($120/yr)) on its file.
| Tool | Cheapest paid plan | Billed | Free plan | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PandaDoc | $19/seat/mo (Starter) | billed annually | Yes | |
| The only one here with a free plan: 5 documents a month with e-signature. Paid plans are per seat, and monthly billing costs 84% more than annual on Starter. | ||||
| Proposify | $19/user/mo (Basic) | billed annually | No | |
| Proposal software priced per user. Its Team plan cannot be billed monthly at all, only quarterly or annually. | ||||
| Dubsado | $335/yr (Starter) | billed yearly | No | |
| Priced by the year, not the month. No free plan; every new account gets a 21-day trial of Premier. | ||||
| HoneyBook | $29/mo (Starter) | billed yearly | No | |
| Client management with contracts, invoices and payments. Starter includes no team members, and there is a 30 day trial rather than a free plan. | ||||
How these differ from Docusign on price
Docusign charges per user on Standard and Business Pro and caps envelopes per user, as the Docusign price file sets out. The tools above price in three different ways: per seat (PandaDoc), per user (Proposify), and a flat price for the account (Dubsado per year, HoneyBook per month billed yearly). For one person a flat price is easy to compare; for a team, multiply the per-seat and per-user prices by the number of people who send documents.
Two of these files are side by side already: Docusign vs PandaDoc and PandaDoc vs Proposify. Every contract tool on file is in the contracts drawer.
