Good question! Obviously, we think that SignHouse is great, but here's an honest answer:
Both SignHouse and DocuSign offer unlimited electronic signatures and documents to be signed, collaboration features email reminders, and other features.
Two of the key differences are that DocuSign is primarily an older eSignature software, and SignHouse is the modern, new generation tool that also brings a powerful document editor.
Let's help you decide which eSignature solution to choose with a fair comparison.
Better team collaboration for less money
DocuSign enables collaboration and multi-user features only on plans above $45/user/mo. SignHouse does it for cheaper, and with more features.
If you want to invite your teammates to built documents and electronically sign them together, you'd have to be on a plan where you pay at least $45 per user per month.
At SignHouse, we're make it way easier with our lifetime deal offer — in just one larger payment, you get access to all of our features and team collaboration tools.
For instance, you could build and share documents across teams and request signatures for way cheaper and for more users than using DocuSign.
You can always stick with the free plan
SignHouse has a free plan, while DocuSign doesn't.
If you don't want to upgrade to our paid plan, you can always use SignHouse for yourself and stick with the free plan — no need to pay, and it works just perfect for one user alone.
DocuSign doesn't have any free plan. While they do have a free trial, that lasts only for a few days and then expires. After it ends, you'd have to pay or stop using DocuSign at all.
At SignHouse, we're helping you electronically sign documents even without paying. Forever!
eSignature solution for any industry
SignHouse helps you sign any documents. Whether you work in construction, marketing, or another industry, our eSignature software will get up to your standards and perform.
Browse our library of eSignature solutions to easily understand which industries SignHouse is best for. We're here to help anybody sign documents the faster and cheaper way.
DocuSign is also designed for a few industries, but SignHouse is the software built with way many other industries in mind. Various features for people signing many different documents.
Go beyond signing and customize PDFs
SignHouse offers a powerful document builder and editor, while DocuSign doesn't.
DocuSign (similar to other eSignature solutions like Dropbox Sign, signNow, RightSignature and other DocuSign competitors) requires you to build documents in Microsoft Word or another external software. You can't start documents from scratch in DocuSign.
With SignHouse, you can start a document in our PDF builder + editor, which makes it more convenient for you. Having the drag-and-drop document builder and all of the PDF editing tools, including the eSignature software, in the same place is yet another time-saving feature.
We spent hours of working on our library of PDF tools — they're all 100% free to use when you want to customize your documents in any possible way.
You can use all of these free tools to update your documents in every way. From changing the content of your document to the overall format of the file, know we can help you do it.
DocuSign doesn't have a library of tools like these — with their service, you could only eSign documents, but that's also something you can do with SignHouse (for less money as well).
Unlimited docs to be signed
With SignHouse, you can sign unlimited documents. Unlike other online signature solutions and DocuSign competitors, we're not setting any soft limits.
Our goal is to help you sign documents and spend the least amount of time on this to-do. Less time on administrative tasks and more on to-dos which bring more money in your pocket.
SignHouse is an all-in-one document builder + signer, but it is also a workflow-improving tool.

Signing papers digitally started being equal to physical, handwritten signatures in the U.S. eSignature Act of 2000 (U.S. Federal Act) + the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA). As a consequence, laws in other countries have followed suit. SignHouse is built around these laws.

All signatures are a real, eSignature that is 100% legally binding.
We save important, relevant data (that can be used legally in all types of situations, including in courts) such as identifiable details of a person, IP addresses, etc, just so our electronic signatures can be as valid as digital signatures can get.
What about privacy and security?

Documents are not made public and unique keys are generated through SignHouse so that privacy and security are at the foundation of the documents on our platform.
