The Hidden Cost of Self-Hosting DocuSeal
DocuSeal is free to self-host. The cost is everything else.
A typical self-hosted deployment requires:
- Cloud server: $20-50/month
- Database (PostgreSQL): $10-30/month
- S3 storage for documents: $5-15/month
- SSL certificate and CDN: $10-20/month
- DevOps time (backups, updates, monitoring, security patches): 1-2 hours weekly = $1,000-2,000/month in labor
- Incident response when updates break something: immeasurable
Real-world total: $1,300-2,500/month for a small team.
Managed DocuSeal eliminates this equation. You deploy in minutes. Opsily handles the server, database, backups, monitoring, updates, and compliance. You sign documents.
