The Startup Trap

Why your "Free" API trial is a ticking time bomb

Most eSignature SaaS companies follow the same playbook. They lure you in with a limited free tier or a low-cost starter plan. Then, as soon as your startup starts to scale, they hit you with per-envelope fees that eat your margins.

The real cost of SaaS signing

  • DocuSign: Charges upwards of 4.00 per document on many plans once you exceed a small limit.
  • Dropbox Sign: Often requires an annual commit just to access basic API features.
  • Vendor Lock-in: Your sensitive legal documents are stored on their servers, making it hard to leave.

DocuSeal replaces this model. It is an open-source, API-first platform. By hosting it on Opsily, you get the convenience of a managed service without the predatory pricing of enterprise SaaS.
