DocuSign
The category standard: the deepest, most widely accepted way to get a document signed.
DocuSign is the name buyers and signers already recognize, and it earns that status. It pairs the broadest legal acceptance and compliance reach with deep workflow tooling, more than a thousand integrations and a polished signing experience. The tradeoff is price and envelope limits: paid plans cap most users at 100 envelopes per user a year, and the features that large teams need sit in custom Enhanced plans.

DocuSign is the safe default for a reason: it is the signature almost everyone already trusts.
