Why teams switch

What pushes teams from DocuSign to Chaindoc

Based on real complaints from G2, Capterra, and Reddit threads.

No per-seat tax

DocuSign charges per user, every month. Pay even when no one signs. Chaindoc charges only for what you actually send.

KYC and payments — not paywalls

On DocuSign, ID verification, bulk send, and payment collection all live behind Business Pro ($40/user/mo). On Chaindoc, they ship with the product.

Audit trail you can actually verify

DocuSign gives you a Certificate of Completion. Chaindoc writes a SHA-256 hash to the blockchain. Anyone — including a court — can verify it independently.
