We’ve updated our fair use policy to be even clearer. All Documenso plans come with effectively unlimited volume and very open usage policies, especially around signing and API usage. The fair use policy exists to define the intended scope of each plan, so we can allow people to do significantly more without forcing rigid limits, hard caps, or permission-first approvals everywhere. Instead of enforcing strict usage ceilings upfront, we review edge cases when usage clearly outgrows the purpose of a plan. This gives people more freedom to build, experiment, automate, and scale without constantly worrying about hitting arbitrary ceilings. It also lets us be more generous where it makes sense, and charge more where it’s genuinely warranted. Does this occasionally lead to discussions? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. This approach lets us support far more experimentation, growth, and usage within our ecosystem, while still giving us a solid foundation for our commercial offering without turning everything into a permission based process first. This is also an extension of how we think about open source and open companies in general. We’d rather encourage usage, experimentation, and growth wherever it makes sense, then work out sustainable commercial terms collaboratively as value is created. That does not mean unlimited usage without boundaries. It means we prefer cooperative conversations over artificial restrictions and permission first systems. If you have questions about how this applies to your usage, ask us during a sales call. Honestly, in most conversations, the answer is simply: “You’re well within scope. You’re good.” The policy exists mostly so we can support edge cases and extreme scale without punishing everyone else with rigid limits upfront. If you’re building something valuable, we want you to succeed. If we need to talk, we will. If not, keep going. No surprise shutdowns. No forced upgrades. No games. documen.so/fair


@catalinmpit welcome to the light side!




speedrun how to waste a day: 1. don't read the pricing page 2. implement DocuSeal for a client 3. discover Pro at $20/mo barely adds anything (crazy..) 4. discover SMS verification costs extra -> even self-hosted (!) 5. rewrite everything with Documenso (& sleep well) but hey, at least I know how NOT to do research now 🫠






Docusign is now worth 9.2 billion USD

Too many teams still build signing from scratch. At first, it looks easy. Render a PDF, add a signature field, store the file. Done. And for a while, that works. Until it doesn’t. You start running into edge cases. Multiple signers, ordering, approvals, audit trails, document integrity, storage and versioning. Then identity comes in. Who actually signed this, how do you prove it, what happens if it is challenged. Suddenly you are not building a feature anymore. You are rebuilding infrastructure. This is where most teams hit a wall. You either keep patching your own system or you move to a SaaS tool that does not really fit your product. And now you are working around someone else’s limitations. The problem is not that teams build it. The problem is that signing looks simple on the surface, but has a very deep tail. Signing is not a feature. It is infrastructure. That is how we think about it at Documenso. You should not have to rebuild the hard parts, but you also should not lose control over your workflows. So instead of a closed product, we are building a platform you can embed, extend, and adapt to your own stack. documen.so/platform No need to build signing from scratch. We already did it for you. If you are building product experiences that include signing, we should talk.
