Escape the 'Envelope Trap'
Why traditional eSignature SaaS is a tax on your company growth.
Pricing based on standard SaaS business tiers as of 2024.
Why 'Free' SaaS isn't actually free
Most eSignature companies lure you in with a free tier. Then they hit you with the 'envelope trap'. They limit you to 3 documents a month or 100 documents a year. As soon as your business grows, your software bill explodes.
A self hosted esignature free solution like DocuSeal changes the math. You aren't paying for every signature. You are paying for the server. Whether you sign 5 contracts or 5,000, your costs stay flat.
The Open Source Advantage
DocuSeal is MIT-licensed. That means the core software is yours to run forever. No vendor can suddenly double your prices or gate-keep your data. You get professional features - mobile signing, automated reminders, and PDF templates - without the 'per-user' tax that makes SaaS so expensive for growing teams.
Self-hosting without the headache
DocuSeal is free, but configuring SMTP, SSL, and backups is work. Opsily does the work for you with our self hosted esignature free deployment engine.

Common questions about self-hosted eSignatures
Yes. DocuSeal is open-source and MIT-licensed, meaning the software itself is free to use forever.

This allows you to scale to thousands of signatures without increasing your software costs.
