signNow, from airSlate, sells per-user e-signature plans with yearly signature invite limits. Pages here cover replacing it with self-hosted Documenso, DocuSeal or OpenSign.
signNow compared with self-hosted Documenso: per-user plans with 100 signature invites per user per year against a self-hosted instance without invite caps, templates, direct links and bulk send, and the signing certificate and email you run yourself.
signNow compared with DocuSeal's free on-premises edition and Pro license: PDF field builder, signature verification, API and webhooks, bulk send and SSO on Pro, and how invite limits compare with per-user and per-completion pricing.
signNow compared with AGPL-licensed OpenSign for small teams: sequential multi-signer workflows, guest OTP, templates, completion certificates and API, and the persistent MongoDB and Docker operations OpenSign needs.
signNow's Business, Business Premium and Enterprise plans with yearly invite caps and per-invite site licensing, compared with self-hosting Documenso, DocuSeal or OpenSign: free editions, paid licenses, hosting, certificates and administration.
Getting signed documents and audit history out of signNow: downloading document groups through the API as ZIPs or merged PDFs with history attached, keeping completion certificates, and rebuilding templates in the new tool.
signNow handles ePHI under a BAA arranged through sales and stores documents in US Amazon S3 data centers. For healthcare organizations: when self-hosting Documenso or DocuSeal in their own HIPAA environment fits better, and the controls they then own.
