24 alternatives to A more usable Docusign
Let me start off with a disclaimer. I'm aware that there's like a gazillion e-signing products that exist in this space — including some half decent self-hosted options too. And yes I agree that the success of incumbents such as Docusign come primarily from distribution rather than making a superb product. But hear me out. Few enterprise tools are as universally disliked as DocuSign: 1,050 Trustpilot reviews, 1.5 stars. To me, that signals two things: (1) a burning problem, and (2) an incumbent that’s barely tolerable. My "vision" for my current project, Formable, is to eventually create…

Woke up today with a 100-degree fever & found out Google is now our competitor. Last week, we started building signwith.co/ - a simple, pay-per-use e-signature tool for people who are struggling with complex e-sign tools. The plan was to build quietly, run a private beta, get 50 users in 15 days, and then do a launch. Easy peasy. But since Google dropped into the e-signature space - we needed to talk. So after 30 minutes of existential dread, a lot of “what are we even doing?” thoughts, and one strong dose of paracetamol we said, screw it. - let’s change gears. So now we're opening our…

TLDR, Let's Seal gives the finger to Adobe and every doc signing tool (docusign, google, etc) who pay to play with the Adobe Approved Trust List and then charge you for something that should be free. Currently even the person checking if a document/contract is sealed or code is authentic has to also be inside the same Adobe walled garden too. Verification, the part that should be free is the part everyone charges for. Thats the shape Let's Encrypt fixed for TLS, and I wanted the same thing for documents and files. The core idea therefore needed to go a bit beyond e signatures and i…

Hey HN! Victor here from SignatureAPI (https://signatureapi.com) SignatureAPI is an electronic signature platform via API. Our customers use SignatureAPI to add electronic signatures to their apps and workflows. SignatureAPI was born out of the frustration of a friend of mine who needed to integrate electronic signatures into his app, but found Docusign API, at $1+ per envelope, too expensive for his use case. We quickly realized that many others shared this same frustration. We are different from other platforms such as Docusign, Dropbox Sign, Adobe Sign, etc in two key ways: 1.…

Hundred Docs▲17Hey HN, I’m Carlos, dev & designer behind Hundred Docs. Here’s the deal: I’ve spent way too many days fighting PDFs in production. Two things drove me crazy: 1. Most doc tools give total freedom → anyone can make a layout disaster + UX is terrible. 2. PDF libraries are a nightmare to integrate So I hacked something that actually works: - You describe the doc in plain English - AI turns it into an editable template - Non-tech folks can tweak it visually - Devs just POST JSON to an API → get a professional PDF back Would love to hear what you think about the product idea and your experience…
