Documenso

Documenso is an open-source electronic signature platform positioned as a transparent alternative to proprietary tools like DocuSign. Users upload a document, place signature, initial, date, and text fields, assign them to one or more recipients, and send it out for signing, with a signing experience that works in the browser and produces a completed, cryptographically sealed PDF plus a full audit trail of who signed what and when. It supports reusable templates, team accounts, custom branding, single sign-on, and an API so signing can be embedded into other products and workflows. Because the codebase is open source under a copyleft license and built on a modern web stack, organizations can read exactly how signatures and documents are handled, self-host it on their own infrastructure with no per-user or per-signature fees, and modify it if needed, which appeals to companies with strict data-control or compliance requirements. Documenso also offers a hosted cloud version for teams that do not want to run it themselves. It has an active open-source community and one-click deployment options for common hosting platforms. Documenso is free to self-host, with paid cloud plans priced per user that add hosting, support, and higher limits.
