DocuSeal
Open-source e-signatures, free to self-host or $20 a user
DocuSeal builds fillable signing forms from PDFs and sends them for signature. The free cloud plan sends 10 requests a month, Pro is $20 per user with no cap, and the open-source version can be self-hosted for free. It suits cost-conscious teams and developers. Firms that need DocuSign's brand on the envelope will not get it here.

DocuSeal pays for itself if it saves 4 hours a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
