Are you tired of paying $25 a month just to send a few documents? If you're a freelancer or a small business owner, chances are most e-signature tools are more than you need. They come with hidden limits, bloated features, and confusing things like "envelopes."
Let’s talk about a smarter, simpler way to get documents signed.
The Problem with Popular E-Sign Tools
DocuSign is the most popular tool out there, but it’s not built for smaller operations. Just look at its clients: Kroger, Domino’s, and United Airlines. Are you running a company of that size? If not, you're probably paying for features you'll never use.
Worse yet, their pricing isn’t even truly unlimited. They use something called "envelopes." An envelope can include several documents but can only go to one customer at a time. So if you're frequently sending documents to different clients, those envelopes run out fast.
On the personal plan, DocuSign gives you only five envelopes per month. That’s barely enough. If you upgrade to Standard or Business Pro, you get 100 envelopes per year. That’s about eight per month.
Meet DigiSigner: A Simpler Alternative
Enter DigiSigner. It’s a much simpler solution and perfect for entrepreneurs and freelancers. At just $12 a month, you get unlimited document sends. That means unlimited contracts, NDAs, and proposals.
DigiSigner’s design is clean and straightforward. You’re not bogged down by unnecessary features. Let’s walk through how it works.
Upload and Prepare Your Document
Start by uploading a document from your computer or syncing with Drive or Dropbox. Once uploaded, DigiSigner opens it so you can add the necessary form fields.
Adding fields is simple. Just drag and drop. For example, if you need to collect a client’s name, email, and phone number, you can add those text fields and make them required.
You can even label fields for clarity. For example, you might want to use placeholders like "XXX-XXX-XXXX" in the phone number field to show it expects digits.
Add Signature and Date Fields
Next, scroll down to where you need the signature. You can drag a signature field into place and even resize it.
Don’t forget to add a date signed field instead of a plain text date. It will automatically fill in the current date when signed.
Sending and Tracking Your Documents
Once the document is ready, it’s just one click to send. Add the recipient's email and hit send. Like DocuSign, you can set a signing order or include multiple signers.
DigiSigner also lets you track document status. You can see who has signed, who you're waiting on, and a list of completed documents.
Clean Interface, No Clutter
DigiSigner isn’t trying to be a full enterprise suite. It's focused on what small businesses need. That means fewer distractions and a faster workflow.
You can manage your team, create unlimited templates, and avoid unnecessary dashboard clutter.
