The Comparison

The Envelope Trap

When evaluating DocuSign vs Eversign, most teams focus on the monthly price. But the real cost is hidden in the limits.

DocuSign restricts most business plans to 100 envelopes per year per user. Once you hit that limit, you are stuck with expensive overage fees. Reddit users report quotes as high as $40 per envelope for simple renewals.

Eversign, now rebranded as Xodo Sign, is more generous with unlimited documents on their business tier. However, you are still locked into their cloud. If their prices double (as DocuSign's recently did for many), your documents and workflows are held hostage.

The Open Source Alternative

DocuSeal is the open-source answer to the eSignature SaaS tax. It provides the same legally binding signatures and template workflows but doesn't charge you per document. By hosting it on Opsily, you get the convenience of SaaS with the control of self-hosting.

EUR 800 a year for tools that used to cost us multiples of that. We replaced HubSpot, Make.com, and our password manager with self-hosted apps on Opsily. One provider, one fee.

Questions about DocuSign vs Eversign vs DocuSeal

Yes, DocuSign typically charges per user with a cap of 100 envelopes per year. Exceeding this triggers high overage fees. Eversign, now Xodo Sign, offers unlimited documents on their business tiers but still charges per user. DocuSeal on Opsily provides a third option: one flat fee for the server and unlimited users and documents.

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.
