A simpler DocuSign alternative for freelancers
DocuSign is built for enterprises with procurement departments. If you’re a freelancer, consultant, or landlord who just needs a client to sign a PDF, you’re paying for complexity you’ll never use — and doing envelope math every month to stay inside your plan.
DoneDocs does one thing: get a PDF signed. Upload, place fields, send a link. Your client signs in their browser with no account. One flat price, no counting.

Teams with compliance departments and complex workflows
DoneDocs
Solo operators who send a few contracts a month
We’re not trying to out-feature DocuSign. If you need bulk send, advanced workflows, or enterprise SSO, they’re the right call. If you need a client’s signature this afternoon, we’re faster.
What freelancers actually get
No envelope math
500 sends a month, stated plainly. No asterisks, no fair-use footnote, no surprise overages.
Clients sign without signing up
The #1 reason documents stall is account creation. Your client gets a link and signs — that's the whole flow.
Proof that holds up
Hash-chained audit trail, Certificate of Completion, and a verification code anyone can check independently.
Reminders handled
If your client goes quiet, DoneDocs nudges them after 3 days and warns you before links expire.
