See pricing →The problem
DocuSeal is excellent if you want to self-host an open-source signing stack. If you just need a signature this afternoon, deploying and maintaining DocuSeal is the wrong kind of work.
The Docracy way
Docracy is hosted and immediate: upload, send, done — free for ≤2 signers, no account, with WhatsApp delivery and a short retention window by design.
How Docracy compares
- No server, Docker, or admin console to run
- Free for up to 2 signers with no account
- WhatsApp signing links — 1 free/month on Docracy
- Flat $10/mo when you need templates / more signers / team
- Honest limit: not a self-hosted / open-source product — DocuSeal wins if you need that
FAQ
Why switch from DocuSeal to Docracy?
Docracy is free for up to 2 signers with no account required for recipients, and a flat $10/mo paid plan instead of per-seat pricing. Upload any PDF as-is — no proprietary template rebuild.
Do signers need an account?
No. They open the link and sign — no login, no app download.
Can I import PDFs I already use in DocuSeal?
Yes. Export the PDF from DocuSeal, upload it to Docracy, and place (or auto-detect) signature fields. See the /import-from-* guides for step-by-step export tips.
