E-signatures built for consulting firms.
Consulting agreements, scopes of work, and client contracts — signed before the engagement starts, free for two parties.
Who this is for
- A new engagement needs a signed consulting agreement or statement of work before billable work starts, not after.
- Scope changes mid-engagement need a signed change order, not an email thread everyone interprets differently.
- Bringing on a subcontracted specialist for one engagement means onboarding paperwork that most e-sign pricing treats like a full seat.
- Payment terms need a real signature, especially for milestone- or retainer-based billing.

Docracy is free for two-party signing — you and your client, or you and a subcontracted consultant — with no account required for whoever's signing. Start from a consulting agreement, scope of work, client contract, or payment-terms template, fill in the engagement details, and send.
