Pricing calculator
How much are you
overpaying for signatures?
Most e-signature platforms charge per seat, per envelope, or both. Calculate what that actually means at scale and compare it with VisiSign's flat pricing model.

Why the gap exists
The pricing model is the product
Traditional e-signature platforms were built in an era when signing was a department tool. A sales team needed 10 seats. HR needed 5. The vendor charged per head, because that is how enterprise SaaS worked in 2010.
But signatures stopped being a department tool. They became workflow infrastructure. CRM automations send contracts. Onboarding systems generate offer letters. SaaS products embed signing directly. The number of people who touch a signature workflow grew far beyond the people who originally needed a "seat."
Per-seat pricing punishes exactly the behavior that modern teams need: more people involved, more workflows automated, more systems connected. Every new teammate becomes a new line item. Every API integration gets gated behind a higher tier.
VisiSign prices signatures the way infrastructure gets priced: flat access for the team, usage-based for the API. The same model Stripe uses for payments, Twilio uses for messaging, and Cloudflare uses for security.
Infrastructure thinking
Signatures became infrastructure.
Pricing should follow.
Twilio does not charge per employee who might send an SMS. Stripe does not charge per person who can view a dashboard. Cloudflare does not gate DDoS protection behind a seat count.
Infrastructure gets priced on usage and access, not headcount. E-signatures should work the same way.Send signature requests from your code. No UI required. No seat needed.
Trigger from CRMs, onboarding tools, or custom automations via webhooks.
Build signing into your product. Your users sign without leaving your app.
The real cost drivers
What actually makes e-signatures expensive
Most teams underestimate how quickly costs compound. It is not just the seat count.
5-person startup
50 contracts/month
25-person sales team
500 contracts/month
These are estimates based on published tier pricing from major e-signature platforms. Your actual costs will depend on your specific plan and usage.

Methodology
How these estimates work
This calculator uses approximate pricing based on publicly available information from major e-signature platforms. It is not a quote. Actual costs vary based on your specific vendor, plan, contract terms, and negotiated discounts.
The estimates assume: typical per-seat pricing of $25-$50/user/month depending on team size, envelope overage fees for high-volume senders, API access premiums for teams with integration needs, and additional tier costs for templates and automation features.
VisiSign pricing is exact: $49/month for Team with unlimited members, or $0.10/request for API-only usage with no monthly fee.
