What it costs
What a 10-person firm pays a year.
For 100 and 300 envelopes a month, using each service's own pricing model.
100 envelopes a user a year on DocuSign annual plans
Ten users on an annual Standard or Business Pro plan come with 10 × 100 = 1,000 envelopes a year. A firm sending 100 a month sends 1,200, so it pays for extra envelopes at a rate DocuSign does not publish.
| Service and plan | 100 a month | 300 a month |
|---|---|---|
| PrimeSignPer firm, unlimited users and signers | A$720Essentials | A$1,320Professional |
| DocuSign StandardA$444 a user a year, 100 envelopes each | A$4,440plus 200 extra envelopes | A$4,440plus 2,600 extra envelopes |
| DocuSign Business ProA$708 a user a year, needed for bulk send | A$7,080plus 200 extra envelopes | A$7,080plus 2,600 extra envelopes |
How we worked it out
- PrimeSign: Essentials is A$60 × 12 = A$720 a year with 150 envelopes a month included. Professional is A$110 × 12 = A$1,320 with 400 a month. At 300 a month, Essentials plus 150 extras at 40c would be A$1,440, so Professional is used. Every user and every signer is included.
- DocuSign Standard: 10 users × A$444 = A$4,440 a year, which includes 10 × 100 = 1,000 envelopes. 100 a month is 1,200 a year, so 200 are extra; 300 a month is 3,600, so 2,600 are extra.
- DocuSign Business Pro: 10 users × A$708 = A$7,080 a year, with the same allowance. Bulk send needs this plan.
- DocuSign charges extra envelopes pay as you go. Its overage rate is not published, so the full cost of either plan can't be worked out from its pricing page.
- DocuSign quotes its Australian prices in AUD and says "additional tax may apply". Monthly plans allow 10 envelopes a user a month.
- PrimeSign SMS codes (Planned): 10c per text on Starter and Essentials, included on Professional. One text per envelope would add A$120 a year at 100 a month on Essentials, and nothing on Professional.
- DocuSign SMS delivery: from A$0.60 per text, as an add-on to Standard or Business Pro.
PrimeSign prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST. PrimeSign isn't open yet: these are the plans it opens with.
