The Verdict
BoldSign offers a refreshingly honest approach to e-signatures for indie hackers and micro-businesses. Unlike DocuSign's penny-pinching free tier (5 envelopes/month), BoldSign's Essential plan provides 25 free signature requests monthly with full features—audit trails, multi-signer workflows, and two templates. Their Growth plan ($5/user/month when billed annually) scales affordably for small teams without forcing you into enterprise licensing. The platform eliminates the per-seat trap: you pay per user, not per signature, making it ideal for founders managing multiple document flows without budget bloat.\n\nFor solopreneurs launching SaaS or contracting work, BoldSign's transparent, no-overage pricing means you won't wake up to surprise bills. Mobile-native signing, API access at $30/month for developers, and integrations with Zapier make it genuinely indie-friendly. G2 and Capterra reviews consistently praise ease of setup—zero learning curve compared to DocuSign's notorious onboarding friction.
