A DocuSign alternative, built for small teams.
DocuSign is the incumbent — powerful, and priced and built for high-volume, document-heavy organisations. Signet is the lighter option for the founder, studio or small team who just wants to send an on-brand agreement, get it signed, and keep proof anyone can verify.
DocuSign is a capable, court-tested product. The reasons small teams look elsewhere are usually pricing (per-user plus envelope allowances with overage) and weight. Here's an honest side-by-side.
| Signet | DocuSign | |
|---|---|---|
| How your document looks | Rendered from your own design — your type, brand and layout, edge to edge — on every plan. | Fields placed on the PDF you upload; custom branding from the Standard plan up. |
| Does the signer need an account? | No — a secure link is the whole session; one tap to sign. | No — signers sign from an email link (only an optional free account is offered afterwards). |
| Proof you can verify | A tamper-evident seal plus a certificate anyone can verify publicly at withsignet.co/verify — on every plan, including Free. | A court-admissible, tamper-evident Certificate of Completion (SHA-256). Verified in a PDF reader rather than via a public verifier. |
| Pricing model | Flat: free to start, from £8/mo, with no per-envelope or per-signature caps. | Per user, with envelope allowances (Personal ~5/mo; Standard & Business Pro ~100/user/yr) and roughly $3–8 per-envelope overage. |
| Free plan | Yes — a Free plan with the full proof stack (seal, certificate, public verification). | No ongoing free plan — a free trial only. |
| Built for | Founders, studios and small teams sending their own agreements. | Individuals through to large enterprises; deepest on high-volume, complex workflows. |

DocuSign vs Signet — common questions
For founders, studios and small teams sending their own agreements, yes — it covers the core job (send, get legally signed, keep provable evidence) with flat pricing and no envelope caps. If you run complex, high-volume workflows or need DocuSign's breadth of integrations, DocuSign may still fit better.
Neither — with both, a signer opens a link from an email and signs without creating an account. That's standard across the industry; where Signet differs is the on-brand document, flat pricing, and a publicly verifiable seal on every plan including Free.
DocuSign is per user with envelope allowances and per-envelope overage once you exceed them. Signet is flat — free to start, from £8/mo — with no per-envelope or per-signature caps. Always check DocuSign's current pricing, as plans change.
Electronic signatures are recognised across the UK (eIDAS as retained in UK law), the EU (eIDAS), the US (ESIGN/UETA) and the GCC. Signet captures signer intent, consent and a tamper-evident record. See our legal-validity notes for the details in your jurisdiction.
