The short version

  • Only DocuSeal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: DocuSeal the hosted plan bills $0.20 per document completion beyond the free tier, separate from the option to self-host the open source version; BoldSign overage envelopes beyond the plan allowance are billed individually at $0.25 to $0.75 each depending on plan tier
