Five reasons teams switch.
WhatsApp signing
Signers sign without leaving WhatsApp. Not available in most alternatives.
Full CLM
From draft to archive in one platform. Most alternatives only cover signature collection.
Per-document pricing
Pay for what you use, not per seat. Costs scale with document volume, not headcount.
RFC 3161 timestamp
Global-standard timestamps on every signature, built to withstand legal disputes.
AI built in
Every contract is analyzed for risk, obligations, and deadlines, and DottSign works inside Claude and other AI apps through MCP.
Pay for what you use, not for headcount.
Most alternatives charge per user per month, so costs grow with headcount, not revenue. DottSign charges per document sent: your entire team gets access and costs only scale when document volume grows.
Pay only when you send. Team seats are included in the plan, so your spend reflects actual usage.
- Free plan to get started
- Predictable costs by usage volume
- Team seats included, not billed per user
- Scales with revenue, not headcount
Every team member is a cost line, regardless of how many documents are sent.
- Costs grow with team size
- Document limits per plan tier
- Advanced features on more expensive plans
- API access limited on basic plans
Legally valid. Technically solid.
Every DottSign signature is protected by an RFC 3161 timestamp, X.509 certificate, and tamper-proof audit trail, fully compliant with Brazil's MP 2.200-2/2001 for legal validity.

Questions about switching.
Can I import my existing contracts?
Yes. Our team helps you export your document history and import it into DottSign with audit trails preserved. The process takes under a week for most teams.
Does DottSign have a free plan?
Yes. DottSign offers a free plan with enough monthly documents for small teams to get started. No credit card required.
Why is DottSign more cost-effective for larger teams?
DottSign charges per document sent, not per user. Team seats are included in the plan, so your bill grows with document volume, not headcount.
Are DottSign signatures legally valid in Brazil?
Yes. DottSign's electronic signatures are legally valid under Brazil's MP 2.200-2/2001, which recognizes multiple forms of electronic signature. Every signature also includes a global-standard RFC 3161 timestamp and a tamper-proof audit trail.
Do my signers need to create a DottSign account?
No. Signers receive a secure link by email or WhatsApp and sign without creating an account or downloading any app, with the added option to sign directly from WhatsApp.
What is CLM and why do alternatives not offer it?
CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) covers the full contract process: from creation and signing through archive and renewal. Most alternatives focus on signature collection. DottSign manages the full lifecycle, with AI for risk analysis, renewal alerts, and obligation tracking.
