The push
Why teams leave DocuSign
DocuSign per-seat pricing adds up when more teammates need to send agreements.
Monthly envelope limits make it harder to budget for busy signing periods.
Identity checks, integrations, and admin controls may require a higher-priced plan.
A cloud signature workflow may not fit teams that need to host documents themselves.
