OnlineSignature.com still wants you to create an account. Docracy doesn't.
It's a free front door to Xodo Sign (formerly Eversign) — the moment you want to send or track a document, you're signing up for an account.
Docracy saves {savings}/mo vs this plan at {seats} seats — one flat workspace fee, not per seat.
See pricing →The problem
OnlineSignature.com markets itself as a free way to sign PDFs, Word docs, and images, but it's actually a landing page for Xodo Sign (the product formerly known as Eversign). Basic signing works without much friction, but sending a document, tracking its status, or getting notified when someone signs all push you into creating a full Xodo Sign account — the exact step someone looking for a genuinely free, no-signup signing tool was trying to avoid.
The Docracy way
Docracy.io skips that entirely: documents with up to 2 signers are free forever, with no account required for either the sender or the signer, not just for a one-time basic signature. You only need an account if you want saved templates, team features, or more than 2 signers on a single document — and even then, it's a flat $10/month, not a seat-based Xodo Sign plan.
How Docracy compares
- No account required to send, track, or sign — not just for a one-off basic signature
- Free for up to 2 signers, permanently — not a trial funnel into a paid Xodo Sign account
- AI-assisted field placement (paid accounts)
- WhatsApp signing links — 1 free per month, then flat pricing, no equivalent on OnlineSignature/Xodo Sign
- Sequential or parallel signing built in, without a plan upgrade
- Flat $10/month if you outgrow the free tier — not per-seat
FAQ
Why switch from OnlineSignature 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 OnlineSignature?
Yes. Export the PDF from OnlineSignature, upload it to Docracy, and place (or auto-detect) signature fields. See the /import-from-* guides for step-by-step export tips.
