Document signing costs spiral out of control as your business grows. DocuSign and Adobe Sign charge $10-100 per user monthly, and those bills multiply fast when compliance audits reveal your signature data sits in jurisdictions you don't control. Documenso eliminates these problems by giving you a self-hosted, open-source signing platform you own completely—no vendor lock-in, no surprise invoices, no data residency nightmares.
Built for IT leaders in regulated industries, technical founders managing growing signature volumes, and organizations requiring GDPR-compliant data sovereignty, Documenso delivers legally binding electronic signatures without the SaaS trap. Deploy on your own infrastructure to prove data residency during audits, integrate signing workflows into your products via API without rate limits or vendor roadmap delays, and scale to thousands of signatures without incremental costs. Whether you're replacing DocuSign after a renewal shock or building customer-facing signing into your application, Documenso gives you control.
Vaivatta deploys Documenso for free on your infrastructure or ours—you only pay for optional add-ons like automated backups, SLA guarantees, or dedicated support. Own your complete audit trail, customize your signing experience without restrictions, and eliminate the 60-80% cost overhead of proprietary platforms while maintaining full compliance control.
