No per-seat pricing for individuals
Individual accounts have no subscription at all. Buy a token pack when you need it, and purchased tokens never expire.
DocuSign alternative
A DocuSign alternative that charges per signer, not per seat.
If you send agreements a few times a week, a per-user plan with an annual envelope limit may not fit. ReadyInk lets you pay for the signers you actually send to, with AI setup included.
No envelope caps
There's no yearly limit on how many documents you can send. Each token covers one person on one document.
AI setup and chat assistants
AI suggests fields and signers on any PDF, and the MCP server lets you send requests from ChatGPT or Claude.
Why small businesses look for a DocuSign alternative
DocuSign is the best-known name in e-signatures, and it's a strong choice for large organizations. For a small business, the plan structure is usually the issue. According to DocuSign's pricing page, the Standard plan is $30 per user per month on an annual plan and includes up to 100 envelopes per user per year. The Personal plan is $11 a month for 5 envelopes per month. Add another sender and you add another seat.
If you send 15 or 20 agreements a month, an annual allowance of 100 envelopes runs out well before the year ends.
How ReadyInk is different
| ReadyInk | DocuSign Standard | |

| How you pay | Per signer, with token packs or a Team plan | Per user, per month |
| Entry price | $10 token pack, no subscription | $30 per user per month, billed annually |
| Sending limit | No cap; one token per signer | Up to 100 envelopes per user per year |

A quick cost example
Say you send 20 documents a month, each to 2 signers. That's 40 tokens a month. On ReadyInk's $100 pack (400 tokens), that's about $10 a month. And because purchased tokens never expire, a slow month doesn't waste anything.
Switching is simple
Upload the PDFs you already use and ReadyInk suggests the fields and signers for each one. Save them as templates and you're ready to send. Signers don't need an account, so nothing changes for your customers except a simpler signing page.
Is ReadyInk cheaper than DocuSign?
For most small businesses, yes. ReadyInk charges per signer, from $0.25 to $0.50 per signer depending on the pack, with no seat fees for individuals and no envelope caps. Your actual savings depend on how many documents and signers you send each month.
Can I move my DocuSign templates to ReadyInk?
Upload the PDF version of each document and ReadyInk's AI suggests the fields and signer roles. Review them, save each one as a template, and it's ready to reuse.
Do my signers need to do anything differently?
No. They get an email with a link, open it in any browser and sign. They don't need an account.
Does ReadyInk have an API like DocuSign?
Yes. The ReadyInk API lets your software upload a PDF, add signers and fields, send it and download the signed PDF and certificate, using the same tokens as the app.
