✍️ The One-Signature Trap
DocuSign's most common revenue source: people who signed up to send ONE document (a lease, a contract, a form) and have been paying $10-25/month ever since. If you haven't sent an envelope in 6+ months, you're donating money to DocuSign.
Some plans (especially Business) don't show a cancel button. Contact DocuSign support:
⚠️ Annual Contract Lock-In
DocuSign annual plans auto-renew and typically require 30 days' notice before renewal to cancel without penalty. If you just renewed, you may be locked in for the full year. Check your billing date and set a reminder for 35 days before next renewal.
Before canceling, download all your signed documents:
If you send fewer than 5 documents per month, you never need to pay for eSignatures again.
💡 The Real Question
How often do you actually SEND documents for signature? If the answer is "once or twice a year," you're paying $120-300/year for something you could do free with PandaDoc or Google Docs. The free tiers of eSignature tools handle 95% of individual and small business needs.
