I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one.

I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed.

Really good job! Just a note your pricing comparison table looks a bit shady. I think you should give either your per year cost compared to the others, or put the document cost on the others. But the way you've done it makes it look like you are tricking people into thinking yours is cheaper. That's just the vibe I'm getting from it. I think that's what you want the takeaway to be there, so I'd suggest updating that slightly.

The others don't do a document cost, so it does make it much harder to compare.

The others just have a document limit, eg Docusign has a 100 document limit per user. Docusign has a really high cost per user (I don't charge for users, only for sends).

So it is harder to compare apples with apples – at the end of the day GoodSign is just that simple. $1.50 per send, unlimited users : )

I choose 6 – because that's about the typical team size I see with GoodSign. So that feels like a good comparison.

Thanks for pointing the pricing out - it really is that terrible! Hence why I built a product I would buy and I could understand. : )

I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

For the curious, the price is $1.50/envelope, which seems very reasonable (I'm not affiliated). [0]

> It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens

When you factor in the price of buying a printer, and move the printed doc around for multiple persons to sign, it is comparable if not cheaper.

I generally sign my documents using macOS’s built in Preview app. I guess I pay for it when I purchase a MacBook but I get a whole lot more value.

What do web apps like DocuSign offer that Preview doesn’t?

BTW, your FAQs need a bit of polish - grammatical and completeness. Some sentences cut off half way.

This is nice, but I think it would be even better if you had some sort of unlimited plan or volume price (I see the $1k offer but that still is pretty high). A person conducting a survey with NDAs with 150 would find this useful, but if i am regularly conducting surveys with at least 1k people who have to sign NDAs, your pricing model becomes unfavorable.

Great job all the same, this is nice.

Appreciate the feedback - you probably could do something much simpler for NDA. I don't really think you need a signature, a check box would be good enough in your survey saying they've agreed to your NDA.

GoodSign works really well for multiple signers, employment contracts and small to medium startups that are want a better signing tool and document management - but don't feel like the high prices of other tools is justified.

The folks from Agree.com just started up to do the same thing... what do you think of them? Sounds like one of those times when folks think the same thing at the same time?
