Our verdict

Good for developers and small teams who want e-signatures they can embed, automate or host themselves. Skip it if you need a vendor with a large integration catalogue and long enterprise track record.

What it does well

  • Open source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable
  • Free hosted plan with 5 documents a month and 10 recipients each
  • Public API, webhooks and React/Vue embeds

Where it falls short

  • Free plan is limited to 5 documents a month
  • Self-hosting licence prices for business use are not published
  • Teams plan includes 5 users, extra users cost $8/month each
