The smallest DocuSign plan costs €108 a year. canusign charges per document, €1.49 with no subscription, and every finished PDF carries a timestamp and can be checked on the verification page. Below are DocuSign's plans with the source, and next to them the maths for anyone who only sends a handful of contracts a year.
DocuSign's plans
Taken from DocuSign's pricing page on 24 September 2026 (docusign.com/pricing, which redirects to ecom.docusign.com/plans-and-pricing/esignature). We opened it from Germany, so it showed euros; prices are for annual billing:
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | €108 a year (€9 a month) | 1 user, 5 envelopes a month |
| Standard | €276 per user and year (€23 a month) | 100 envelopes per user and year |
| Business Pro | €456 per user and year (€38 a month) | 100 envelopes per user and year |
| Advanced | through sales | by agreement |
The page says annual billing saves up to 44 percent against paying monthly, so the monthly price is higher. It does not say whether VAT is included, and it lists no free plan. For annual plans bought on docusign.com, DocuSign offers a refund within 30 days of purchase. Visitors from the US or the UK may see other currencies and amounts.

The maths for a few documents
Paying for each document at €1.49, against the yearly price of DocuSign Personal:
| Documents a year | canusign, single | DocuSign Personal |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | €7.45 | €108 |
| 12 | €17.88 | €108 |
| 30 | €44.70 | €108 |
| 60 | €89.40 | €108 |
At 72 documents a year, canusign paid one by one comes to €107.28, just under Personal. Personal covers at most 60 envelopes a year (5 a month), and envelopes you do not use in one month do not help the next. Beyond that, DocuSign moves you to Standard at €276 per user. With a pack, canusign goes down to €0.50 per document.
When DocuSign is the better fit
- You work as a team and need team management, roles and approvals. canusign does not build team management.
- You send many envelopes every month.
- The other party requires DocuSign.
What the finished document contains
Every canusign document carries an RFC 3161 timestamp from DigiCert and an audit certificate at the end. The recipient drops the PDF on the verification page and sees whether it matches the stored version. The signature is a simple electronic signature under eIDAS and the US ESIGN Act, valid wherever the law does not require a handwritten form. The servers are in Frankfurt.

Other European options
European Purpose, a directory of European alternatives to US software, reviews e-signature tools from the EU and ranks them against DocuSign. Its review of CanUSign covers pricing, the signature level and where documents are processed. The same page compares Skribble, Yousign and other European providers, which is where to look if you need a qualified signature.
