DocuSeal Free Self-Hosted: No Per-Signature Fees
DocuSeal is free, open-source e-signature software. Self-host for €0 forever. Or let Opsily manage it for you. No per-signature fees. No per-user licenses. No vendor lock-in.
E-Signatures Should Not Cost This Much
The SaaS e-signature market created a problem it never needed to. DocuSign charges per signature. GoSignPDF charges per signature. Google locks e-sign into €25/user/mo plans. For a team signing 100 documents a month, you're paying €1,500-2,500 monthly.
DocuSeal solves this with a simple idea: open-source software you own. Deploy on your own servers. Unlimited documents. Unlimited signatures. No hidden billing tiers.
If you prefer managed hosting, Opsily runs DocuSeal at €20-100/mo (all-you-can-sign). Both ways, you keep full control of your data. No per-signature meter running. No surprise invoices.
This page is for teams tired of SaaS lock-in. For companies that actually read pricing pages and walk away angry. DocuSeal is the answer.
Why Teams Switch From Expensive E-Signature SaaS
Pricing as of May 2026. DocuSign overages based on standard per-signature rates. Opsily Medium plan (€40/mo) includes unlimited docs/signatures.
