not for headcount.

Most alternatives charge per user per month — costs grow with headcount, not revenue. DottSign charges per document sent: your entire team gets access and costs only scale when document volume grows.

Frequently asked questions

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. Add as many team members as you need at no extra cost — your bill only grows when document volume grows.

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 negotiation 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.
