The short version

  • Only DocuSeal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hubstaff billed per seat; the pricing page's own proration example states the Team plan costs $10 per seat per month, with fees adjusted when seats are added or removed mid-cycle; 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
