Signed isn't the same as paid
An envelope tool stops at the signature. Getting paid starts a second workflow, and that gap is where deals stall.
With a separate e-signature tool
- 1You upload the contract and send it as an envelope.
- 2They sign, and the envelope counts against your allowance.
- 3You send an invoice from another tool and chase the payment.
On DocuSign, collecting payment at signing needs Business Pro at $40 per user per month, billed annually, and every envelope you send counts toward the cap, signed or not.
With NueSign inside a form
- 1They open their own signing link and answer your intake questions.
- 2The contract is the next question, and they sign it right there.
- 3The question after that takes the deposit.
Each client gets their own signing link, from you or by NueForm email. Their answers, the signed PDF with its audit trail and the payment arrive together, at Stripe's fee with no NueForm markup.
DocuSign bills every seat and caps envelopes on its eSignature plans. NueForm Pro is one price, with 5 team seats included.

Frequently asked questions
How much does DocuSign cost compared with NueForm?
At list price, billed annually, DocuSign Standard is $25 per user per month, and Business Pro, the plan you need to collect payments, is $40 per user per month. Both include 100 envelopes per user per year, then charge for each extra one. NueForm Pro is $29/mo flat for 5 team seats, with no envelope count.
Is there an envelope limit?
No. NueSign has no envelopes and no per-envelope fees: contracts, signatures and signers are unlimited on Pro. Each signed contract counts as one of Pro's 50,000 monthly form responses, compared with 100 envelopes per user per year on DocuSign Standard and Business Pro.
Can a client sign and pay in one go?
Yes. The contract and the payment are both questions in your form. Send your client their own signing link and they can sign and pay a deposit before leaving the page. You pay Stripe's fee, with no NueForm markup.
How do I move my DocuSign templates over?
Upload the PDF you already use and drag signature, initials, date and text fields onto it, or paste the text into a Markdown contract. Most templates are ready in minutes.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Build and preview contracts for free, and add a simple signature question to any form on every plan. When you're ready to send contracts out for signature, upgrade to Pro: $29/mo with 5 team seats.
