The best free alternative to DocuSign

DocuSign is pickpocketing your profit by charging a premium subscription while forcing you to eat the 3% processing fee on every single invoice. You are essentially working for free one week out of every year just to subsidize their double-dipping greed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is DocuSign actually more expensive than MicroFreelanceHub?

DocuSign double-dips by charging you a monthly subscription while forcing you to lose ~3% of your income to processing fees; we let you pass those fees to the client so you keep every cent you earn.

How does the Pass-Through Fee toggle work in practice?

When you check the box, the 3.9% processing fee is automatically added to the client's total. Stripe takes their cut from that addition, ensuring 100% of your project rate hits your bank account.

Can I really save thousands of dollars a year by switching?

Yes. If you bill $100k a year, DocuSign forces you to 'donate' roughly $3,000 to the bank—MicroFreelanceHub puts that $3,000 back into your business where it belongs.
