Why developers switch from DocuSign
DocuSign is built for enterprise sales teams, not developers. Here's what frustrates technical teams:
Expensive per-envelope fees
DocuSign charges $1.50-$3.00 per envelope on top of monthly fees, making costs unpredictable for growing businesses.
Enterprise complexity
Built for Fortune 500 companies with features most developers never need. You're paying for bloat.
Per-seat pricing
Adding team members means adding costs. DocuSign's per-user model punishes growing teams.
