Why teams switch

DocuSign: Expensive per-sender plans for what is mostly sending a PDF to sign.

The upgrade

  • Free plan
  • Templates
  • Reminders
  • API

Trade-offs

  • Smaller ecosystem of integrations and add-ons than DocuSign.
  • Fewer enterprise compliance certifications and admin controls in most cases.

How to migrate

From DocuSign to SignWell
  1. Export. Download completed envelopes and certificates, and save copies of your templates.
  2. Set up SignWell. Create your workspace and invite one or two people to pilot it first.
  3. Import. Bring your data in using SignWell's import tools, starting with what your team uses daily.
  4. Switch over. Rebuild templates and finish any in-flight envelopes in DocuSign before cancelling. Then invite the rest of the team and cancel DocuSign at the end of your billing period.
