Docusign pricing in 2026: what each plan costs per envelope
Docusign's three eSignature plans cost $10, $25 and $40 a user a month when you pay for the year up front. The limit matters more than the price. Personal sends 5 envelopes a month, and the two team plans send 100 a user a year. Used in full, that comes to $2.00 to $4.80 an envelope. Sending without a limit starts at three users. We read every price on Docusign's own US pages on November 13, 2026.
Docusign plans at a glance
Docusign shows three prices for each plan, depending on how you pay.1
| Plan | Paid for the year | Yearly plan, billed monthly | Month to month | Envelopes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | $10 a month, $120 a year | $11 a month, $132 a year | $15 a month | 5 a month |
| Standard | $25 a user a month, $300 a year | $30 a user a month, $360 a year | $45 a user a month | 100 a user a year |
| Business Pro | $40 a user a month, $480 a year | $45 a user a month, $540 a year | $65 a user a month | 100 a user a year |
| Enhanced plans | Contact sales | Contact sales | Contact sales | A limit you agree with sales |
Personal is for one user. Standard and Business Pro take up to 50 users, and above that Docusign sends you to its sales team.1
The page opens on the middle column. So the first price you see for Personal is $11 a month, with a line under it saying this is an annual commitment of $132.1 Prices leave out tax.

What counts as an envelope
An envelope is Docusign's unit. One envelope can hold several documents and go to one signer or to many, and it counts once.1
Two details change what a plan is worth:
- It counts when you send it. Docusign says an envelope counts toward the allowance "whether or not the Envelope is signed or completed."1 A contract nobody signs still uses one.
- Monthly plans count by the month. The yearly Standard and Business Pro plans give 100 envelopes a user a year. The month to month versions give 10 a user a month.1
Envelopes sent through PowerForms count too.1
What one envelope costs on Docusign
Docusign sells plans, so the price of one envelope depends on how many you send. We divided each plan's yearly price by its allowance.
| Plan, paid for the year | Envelopes a year | Cost a year | Each, if you send them all | Each, if you send half |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | 60 | $120 | $2.00 | $4.00 |
| Standard, one user | 100 | $300 | $3.00 | $6.00 |
| Business Pro, one user | 100 | $480 | $4.80 | $9.60 |
Month to month costs more for each one. Personal at $15 for 5 envelopes is $3.00 each. Standard at $45 for 10 is $4.50, and Business Pro at $65 for 10 is $6.50.1
A small business that sends three contracts a month uses 36 of Personal's 60 envelopes. That is $3.33 for each one sent.
What happens when you go over
On Personal, you can't. Docusign's answer is to move up to Standard or Business Pro.1
On Standard and Business Pro, sending continues. Each envelope above the allowance is billed pay as you go at a set rate for each envelope. The pricing page doesn't state that rate. You can also buy envelopes ahead on the Plans and Billing page of your account.1
So ten contracts a month, 120 a year, does not fit one Standard user's 100. You pay for 20 more at a rate you only see inside the account, or you add a second user.
Sending without a limit
Docusign's plans with no envelope limit sit on a second tab, called IAM, for intelligent agreement management.2
| IAM plan | Paid for the year | Yearly plan, billed monthly | Month to month | Envelopes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IAM Starter | $40 a user a month | $45 a user a month | $65 a user a month | 100 a user a year |
| IAM Standard | $45 a user a month | $50 a user a month | $75 a user a month | Unlimited through the web app |
| IAM Professional | $75 a user a month | $80 a user a month | $95 a user a month | Unlimited through the web app |
IAM Standard and IAM Professional have a minimum of three users. On monthly billing the page puts IAM Standard at $150 a month and an annual commitment of $1,800.2 Paid up front at $45 a user, three users come to $1,620 a year by our arithmetic.
Two limits remain. Unlimited applies to envelopes sent from Docusign's web app or mobile app. Sends through web forms, PowerForms, bulk send and the API share a separate allowance of 100 a user a year on the yearly plans.2
There is one cheaper route, for one trade. The plan for members of the National Association of REALTORS costs $20 a user a month, $240 billed annually, and sends unlimited envelopes under a reasonable use policy.3
Add-ons and other plans
- Text message delivery starts at $0.36 a delivery.1
- ID verification of a signer starts at $2.40 an attempt.1
- Real estate plans start with Real Estate at $25 a user a month, $300 billed annually, for 100 envelopes a user a year.3
- API plans are separate. Starter costs $50 a month, $600 billed annually, and starts at 40 envelopes a month. Intermediate costs $300 a month and Advanced $480.4
Annual plans bought on docusign.com can be refunded within 30 days of purchase. Plans renew on their own, each month or each year.2,1 The people who sign don't need a Docusign account.1
The same sending on six alternatives
We priced one sender for a year at three volumes, on annual billing, with each service's cheapest plan that allows the volume.
| Service | 3 documents a month | 10 a month | 30 a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Docusign1,2 | $120 | $300 and 20 extra envelopes | $300 and 260 extra envelopes, or $1,620 with no limit |
| BoldSign8 | $0 | $0 | $60 |
| SignWell7 | $0 | $120 | $120 |
| Xodo Sign9 | $0 | $120 | $120 |
| PandaDoc6 | $0 | $228 | $228 |
| Dropbox Sign5 | $180 | $180 | $180 |
| Signaturely10 | $240 | $480 | $480 |
| Conecto (ours)12 | $18 | $60 | $180 |
Across the six alternatives, ten documents a month costs from $0 to $480 a year, with a median of $150. We left Docusign and Conecto out of that range.
What the table shows:
- Four of the six have a free plan that covers three documents a month. SignWell's allows 3, PandaDoc's and Xodo Sign's allow 5, and BoldSign's allows 25.7,6,9,8
- All six sell a plan with no document limit to a single sender, from $120 to $480 a year. At Docusign the plans with no limit start at three users.2
- Docusign is the only one here that charges for extra envelopes at a rate its pricing page doesn't show.1
Each alternative in one paragraph
BoldSign
The free Essential plan sends 25 envelopes a month. A sign-up with a personal email address is held to 5 a month until the business details are verified. Growth costs $5 a user a month on yearly billing for 50 envelopes a user a month, and Business costs $15 a user a month with no envelope limit.8 Good for: the lowest bill at almost any volume.
SignWell
The free plan sends 3 documents a month from one sender. Light costs $10 a month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly, for one sender and unlimited documents. Business costs $30 a month for three senders.7 Good for: one person who sends often.
Xodo Sign
The free plan allows up to 5 documents a month, one every 7 days. Basic costs $10 a user a month on yearly billing, or $20 monthly, with unlimited documents and 3 templates. Professional costs $16.9 Good for: a low price, with PDF editing on the next plan up.
PandaDoc
The free plan creates 5 documents a month. Starter costs $19 a seat a month billed annually, with unlimited document uploads and e-signatures. Business costs $49 a seat and adds quotes, approvals and CRM integrations.6 Good for: a sales team that writes proposals as well as signing them.
Dropbox Sign
Essentials costs $15 a month, $180 billed yearly, for one person with unlimited signature requests. Standard costs $25 a user a month and starts at $600 billed yearly.5 The page also showed a discounted first price of $10.05 a month. The table uses the regular one. Good for: a company that already keeps its files in Dropbox.
Signaturely
Personal costs $240 a year, or $25 month to month, for 5 signature requests a month. Business costs $480 a year for each user and has no limit.10 Good for: a team that wants a very simple tool and expects to send a lot.
Paying for each document instead
A few services charge by the document and not by the seat. This suits a business that sends a handful of contracts a month.
| Service | What it charges for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| BoldSign Premium | An envelope above the 250 a month in its $99 plan | $0.508 |
| SignWell API | A document sent through its API, with no monthly minimum | $0.85, falling to $0.20 at high volume7 |
| signNow Site License | A signature invite | $1.5011 |
| Conecto (ours) | A signature request your AI agent sends, to up to 10 signers | $0.5013 |
For comparison, Docusign Personal used in full works out to $2.00 an envelope.
Where Conecto fits
Conecto is our product, and it is a different kind of thing. It has no app your staff sign in to. It gives your AI agent, such as Claude or ChatGPT, the tools to send a PDF for signature, remind the signers and fetch the signed copy. Each signer gets a link by email and signs in the browser, and everyone receives the sealed PDF with a signing certificate.12
A request costs $0.50 for up to 10 signers. A reminder costs $0.02, and checking who has signed is free.12,13 You pay your agent's own plan on top.
Three limits to know:
- It only makes sense if you already work with an AI agent.
- Its ten tools cover sending, templates, reminders and status. They list no ID verification of signers, no delivery by text message and no payment collection, all of which Docusign sells.12,1
- The price cuts both ways. Against a $180 plan with no limit, Conecto costs less below 30 documents a month and more above that.
Best Claude connectors covers Docusign's own connector for Claude, for a business that wants to keep Docusign and add an agent.
How to choose
- You send up to 5 documents a month: a free plan from BoldSign, PandaDoc or Xodo Sign, or Docusign Personal at $120 a year if your signers expect the Docusign name.
- You send 10 to 30 a month from one account: a plan with no document limit, from $120 a year at SignWell or Xodo Sign.
- You need Docusign itself and send more than 100 a year: ask for the price of extra envelopes before you buy Standard, and compare it with IAM Standard for three users.
- You sell real estate and belong to the NAR: the REALTORS plan at $240 a year.
- Your AI agent should send the contracts: Conecto, at $0.50 a request.
How we compared them
We read each vendor's own pricing page on November 13, 2026, in US dollars. For Docusign we read the US versions of its eSignature, IAM, real estate and developer pages, and took all three ways of paying from each.1,2,3,4
For the cost of one envelope, we divided a plan's yearly price by its yearly allowance. For the yearly bills, we took one sender, annual billing and the cheapest plan whose limit covers 36, 120 or 360 documents a year. Free plans count as $0. Offers for a limited time are left out.
Two well-known alternatives are missing. Adobe Acrobat Sign and signNow's seat plans showed us prices in euros, so we left them out. signNow's price for one invite was shown in dollars and is in the table above.11
We compared prices and what each page lists. We did not send documents through each service, so this guide doesn't judge how good each one is to sign with. Taxes are left out.
