# Documenso

Sign PDFs on your Postgres instead of renting Docusign envelopes.

**Replaces:** Docusign

**Tier:** Easy

## 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.

## Stack

- [Documenso](https://documenso.com/) — Open-source e-signature

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| Docusign Standard | $1,200 | Documenso + Postgres |

**About $1,200 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: Documenso + Postgres. Persist uploads on a volume. SMTP via Resend on send.

## AGENT_PROMPT

```
Replace Docusign with Documenso.

- Postgres + object storage or a volume for PDFs. Bind HTTP to 0.0.0.0:$PORT.
- Send signature mail through Resend (send. subdomain).
- Create one template and complete a test envelope. Lock public signup.
- Write AGENT_PROMPT.md and a cost table vs Docusign Standard.
```

## 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.
