How many documents do you send for signature each month?
DocuSign counts usage in envelopes. One envelope can hold one or more documents sent together for signing; this calculator assumes one document per envelope.

Cost per signed document at common volumes
Using DocuSign's annual plans billed monthly, the only prices we could verify. "n/a" means the plan's envelope allowance doesn't cover the volume.

How the numbers are calculated
- Personal: $11/month ($132/year, annual plan billed monthly) for 1 user and up to 5 envelopes a month. Above that, DocuSign says to upgrade.
- Standard: $30 per user per month (annual plan billed monthly) with 100 envelopes per user per year. We work out yearly envelopes (documents × 12), divide by 100 and round up to get users. That is only one way to get more envelopes: DocuSign also offers custom envelope limits through sales, at prices it doesn't publish. So treat high-volume Standard figures as an upper bound for "just add seats", not a quote.
- Business Pro ($45/user/month, same 100 envelopes per user per year) costs more for the same allowance, so it's never the cheapest here. Pick it if you need its extra features.
- Per document = monthly cost ÷ documents per month.
- FlatSign: planned flat $5/month, unlimited documents and signers.
- Month-to-month (no annual commitment) prices: the page only rendered the annual plan prices for us
- Per-envelope price for extra envelopes: not shown on the pricing page
DocuSign's page also mentions month-to-month plans and says annual billing saves "up to 33%", so month-to-month costs more than shown here.
When DocuSign is the better choice
- You need e-signatures today. FlatSign isn't available yet.
- Your organisation requires DocuSign, or you need its integrations, admin controls, bulk send, payments or compliance options.
- Your counterparties expect a DocuSign envelope, or your legal team has already approved it.
Questions
How many envelopes do DocuSign plans include?
On the pricing page we checked (Oct 22, 2026): Personal includes 5 envelopes a month; Standard and Business Pro include 100 envelopes per user per year on annual plans.
What happens if I send more than my allowance?
DocuSign says to upgrade from Personal, and offers custom envelope limits through sales. It does not publish a per-envelope overage price on the pricing page, so this calculator adds seats instead and labels that as an upper bound.
