Docusign eSignature review

Sends an estimate, contract or change order out for an electronic signature and gives you back a signed PDF the customer can open on a phone. It earns its keep on documents your other software does not produce, like a subcontractor agreement or a financing form. Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan already collect a signature on their own quotes and work orders, so on top of those it is a second bill for the same signature.

What it costsas of August 2026
Personal
$11/moOne user, 5 envelopes a month, $132 a year
Standard
$30/user/moUp to 50 users, $360 per user a year
Business Pro
$45/user/moAdds payments during signing, $540 per user a year
Enhanced
Quote onlyFor more than 50 users

Those are the annual-commitment rates. Standard and Business Pro include 100 envelopes per user per year, and an envelope counts when you send it, not when it comes back signed, so budget about 8 sends a month per user. An annual plan can be cancelled within 30 days without penalty; after that you owe the balance of the year.

Alternatives to Docusign eSignature

Other tools that do the same job for a trade business. Prices are what each vendor publishes, dated when we checked.

GoCanvas
A mobile forms app for crews: you build your own inspection sheets, work orders and safety checklists, the tech fills them on a phone with photos and a customer signature, and each one comes back as a PDF you can email out. Buy it if your job software cannot build the forms you need, or you run none at all. Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan already capture forms and signatures on their own work orders, so a second per-user bill is hard to justify.$29 per user a month on Essentials, billed annually, 3 users minimum
Jotform
A form builder for the paperwork that sits beside the job: a service request form on your website, a tech checklist filled in from a phone, and simple documents sent out for signature through Jotform Sign. The free plan is real, and this is the cheapest way in. It is not a crew platform: every paid tier below Enterprise is a single-user account, and the limits are counted per account, not per tech.Free Starter plan, then $34/mo on Bronze billed yearly, $39 month to month
