GDPR by Default
Legal documents contain sensitive PII. Opsily hosts your DocuSeal instance on dedicated infrastructure in Germany, ensuring compliance with strict EU data laws.
High Performance

Built for teams who need reliability
Understanding the true cost of DocuSign
When asking how much does DocuSign cost, most users look at the headline $25/month price. However, the Standard and Business Pro plans are capped at 100 envelopes per user per year. If you send 10 documents a month, you are already over the limit.
The Seat License Trap
DocuSign charges per user. If you have 10 employees who need to send NDAs or sales contracts, you are looking at $2,400 to $4,800 per year. This cost scales linearly, meaning your software bill grows exactly when your business grows.
Why DocuSeal is Different
DocuSeal is open-source. By hosting it on Opsily, you own the entire application. There are no logic-based limits. If you need to send 10,000 envelopes this month, you can. If you add 20 new agents to the portal, you can. You only pay for the underlying server resources.
Developer-Friendly Economics
For businesses using the API to automate document workflows, DocuSign's API plans can reach $400/month quickly. DocuSeal includes its API for free, allowing you to build complex integrations with tools like n8n or Nextcloud without increasing your monthly SaaS overhead.
saved per year for a team of 10
A typical Pro team switches from DocuSign's $40/user plan to a managed DocuSeal instance on Opsily. That is real capital back into your business.
