Why US-based SaaS fails the GDPR test
Many businesses think choosing a German or Irish data center is enough for GDPR. It is not. Under the US CLOUD Act, American authorities can compel US companies to hand over data regardless of where the server is physically located. If your e-signature provider is a US corporation, your data is never truly sovereign.
The 'Signature Tax' is over
DocuSign currently functions as a tax on digital growth. Charging $1 per form or limiting users to 100 envelopes per year is an extraction model, not a value model. e-Signature technology is an open standard. You should not be penalized for sending more contracts.
By self-hosting DocuSeal on Opsily, you own the infrastructure. There are no per-user fees and no envelope limits. You pay for the server capacity, not the number of signatures you collect. This is how professional legal tech should work in 2025.

We were paying per user on everything and it added up fast. Now we run five apps for less than one of those old plans. My finance team finally stopped asking questions.

Wanted to use n8n for ages but the self-host part always stopped me. Opsily just handled it. Got the power without becoming an IT person overnight.
