Choosing the right eSignature Solution
We are very focused on marginal cost, but also privacy, a lack of vendor lock-in. It is from that perspective that we performed this evaluation of eSignature vendors and solutions. While we use docusign frequently, such services are very limiting because of their very high per-seat costs (about $480 per year per person) which really limits giving everyone on the team who could benefit access to such a system. It is important to us to also have api access that is unlimited so that we can programmatically build in legal accountability into business processes not just high-touch executive interactions. We were looking for a low cost or open source solution. This is what we found and some of the thinking and alternatives.
