Why Opsily for self-hosted document signing?

Self-hosted API without the self-hosted headache.

No vendor lock-in

DocuSeal is AGPL-3.0 open source. Your data stays yours. No escape clauses, no proprietary formats, no permission from any company. If you ever want to leave, you can. That freedom is worth thousands.

Save 60-80% vs DocuSign

DocuSign charges $0.50-$2.00 per envelope plus per-seat fees. 1000 documents per month? That's $500-$2000 on DocuSign. On Opsily, it's one flat monthly fee. Same signing capability, a fraction of the cost.

GDPR-compliant EU servers

Your documents never leave Europe. Frankfurt infrastructure, encrypted backups, audit trails built for regulated industries. Post-Schrems II compliant. No US data transfer. No legal risk.

Why self-hosted matters

DocuSign's envelope model breaks at scale

DocuSign charges per envelope. At 1000 documents per month, that's $500-$2000 in fees. Overage charges surprise you. You get locked into endless monthly payments with no ceiling.

Self-hosted DocuSeal erases that math. One flat monthly fee. Whether you sign 100 documents or 10,000, the cost stays the same. You only pay for what you actually use.

GDPR compliance requires data control

Regulators don't care if you're using a 'SaaS platform'. If your signers are in Europe, their data must stay in Europe. DocuSign's US infrastructure doesn't satisfy Schrems II.

Opsily runs DocuSeal from Frankfurt. Your documents, templates, and signing history never touch US servers. You check the compliance box. Your legal team stops worrying.

Open source means freedom

DocuSign locks you in with proprietary APIs. Export signing history? Impossible. Migrate away? Good luck. You're renting, not owning.

DocuSeal is AGPL-3.0 licensed. The code is public, auditable, and yours. If Opsily closes tomorrow, you deploy DocuSeal anywhere. Or use a competitor. The power is yours.

Simple, transparent pricing

One flat monthly fee. No per-document charges. No surprise overages. Scale up anytime.
