Easy
Documenso
Sign PDFs on your Postgres instead of renting Docusign envelopes.
The problem
Docusign meters envelopes and then sells you identity add-ons. A studio that sends a handful of contracts a month does not need that OS. Documenso is the open-source signing app already in the catalog.

FAQ
- Will counterparties need an account?
- No. They get a link, they sign, you keep the certificate. Same motion as Docusign, minus the envelope pack.
