Watch the envelope limits
On 9 October 2026 DocuSign Personal cost $15 a month billed monthly or $10 a month billed yearly upfront, but it allows only 5 envelopes a month. DocuSign Standard was $45 per user a month billed monthly or $25 billed yearly upfront, with 10 envelopes per user a month on monthly billing or 100 per user a year on annual plans.
Dropbox Sign Essentials was $20 a month billed monthly or $15 yearly, and its pricing page lists unlimited signature requests on paid plans. Standard was $30 per user a month ($25 yearly) with a minimum of 2 users. If you send more than a handful of documents a month, Dropbox Sign's allowance is the simpler deal. Dropbox Sign also lists a 30-day trial; DocuSign's pricing page didn't state one.
