E-signatures built for freelancers and consultants.
Send client agreements, NDAs, and payment terms in minutes — free for you and your client, no account required.
Who this is for
- A client wants a signed agreement before you start work, but you don't have budget for a $30–$75/month e-sign subscription to send a handful of documents a month.
- A prospect wants an NDA signed before a discovery call — asking them to create an account first kills the momentum.
- Payment terms need a real signature, not just an email that says "sounds good."
- Most e-sign tools price per seat or per envelope — brutal math for a solo operator sending a dozen documents a month, not a thousand.
Why Docracy
Docracy is free for signing chains of up to two people — you and your client — with no account required on either side. Start from a free freelance service agreement, NDA, or payment-terms template, fill in your details, and send. It's built for exactly this: one person sending a handful of agreements a month, not a sales team on a seat license. After the work is done, Paid cobro sends the invoice on WhatsApp with your PayPal or Mercado Pago link — no extra signature, and Docracy never takes the money.

Frequently asked questions
Does my client need to create an account to sign?
No — a client opens the signing link and signs on any device, no Docracy account and nothing to install. You only need an account yourself if you want your sent documents saved for next time.
How is this different from DocuSign or PandaDoc for a solo freelancer?
Those tools are priced for teams — per seat or per envelope, often with a minimum seat count. Docracy's free tier covers a client agreement or NDA outright for two-party signing, and the paid tier is a flat $10/month total, not per client or per document.
Can I also get paid through Docracy, not just get things signed?
Signing and getting paid are separate on purpose — once the agreement's signed, a paid account can send a cobro (the PDF plus your PayPal or Mercado Pago link) over WhatsApp. Docracy never touches the money; it just carries the link.
