Documenso: common questions
Who should use Documenso?
Documenso suits contracts and proposals, self-hosted e-signature and lower-cost signing.
When should you choose something else instead of Documenso?
Self-hosting makes you responsible for keeping signed documents secure and backed up. If that matters for your business, compare other options such as Stirling-PDF, Paperless-ngx and MarkItDown.
Is Documenso free?
Documenso pricing: Free plan; self-host or paid cloud. Pricing changes often, so confirm current plans on the official repository or website before you buy.
Can a small business self-host Documenso?
Yes. Documenso is open source on GitHub, and its setup level is intermediate. You will need a computer or server to run it and someone to keep it updated and backed up, or you can use a hosted option if one is offered.
