DocuSign figures are quoted from DocuSign's published developer plans page and eSignature plans page, checked on 14 September 2026. Envelope allowances are quoted as “Starting amount of 40 envelopes/month” and “Starting amount of 100 envelopes/month”; the price of an envelope beyond the allowance is not stated on either page. Sandbox wording is theirs: “Developer accounts operate in a Docusign non-production (demo) environment. They have most enterprise features enabled by default and don't expire.” A cell reading “Not published” is not stated on those pages, which is not the same as saying it does not exist. On the eSignature side, SMS delivery is sold as an add-on “Starting at $0.36/delivery” on the Business Pro plan. Prices change; check the source before relying on it.

What 100, 1,000 and 10,000 envelopes cost

Envelopes in a monthSiglioDocuSign developer plans
40$10.00$50.00 on Starter, which includes 40
100$25.00$300.00 on Intermediate, which includes 100
1,000$250.00Not published
10,000$2,500.00Not published

The DocuSign column names the cheapest published plan whose included allowance covers that month, at its published monthly price. Above 100 envelopes a month neither published plan states an allowance or an overage rate, so there is no number to put there. Siglio is the same 25¢ on every row.

How it works

How the e-signature API works on this side

The reason the price can be one number is that there is nothing else to charge for: no seats to license, no tier to graduate into, and no SMS add-on.

01

Tag the PDF

Put ^S1 where the signature goes and ^D1 where the date goes, in white text. Invisible to the reader, findable by us.

02

POST it

One JSON request with the file and the signer. Delivery by email, text or both starts immediately.

03

Get the webhook

envelope.completed lands on your endpoint with a link to the signed PDF and its certificate.

Questions

Reading the comparison honestly

Where do these DocuSign numbers come from?

DocuSign’s own published plan pages, linked under the table, checked on 14 September 2026. We quote what those pages state and mark anything they do not state as not published. Prices change, so check the source before you rely on it.

Why is the price per additional envelope blank for DocuSign?

Because the published pages do not state it. The plans are described with a starting amount of envelopes per month, and the overage rate is not on the page. We are not going to guess at a number and put their name on it.

Is this a fair comparison?

It compares published list prices for developer plans, which is the number a developer sees before contacting sales. A negotiated enterprise agreement is a different number that neither of us can show you. If you are at a volume where that conversation happens, the comparison to run is your own.

What does DocuSign do that Siglio does not?

A great deal. Templates, bulk send, CLM, payments, notary, identity verification, dozens of integrations and an enterprise support organisation. If you need those, buy those. Siglio is one endpoint that sends a PDF for signature by email and text.

What is the switching cost?

One POST and one webhook handler. There is no template system to port because there is no template system, and your PDFs stay your PDFs with anchor tags added to them.
