E-signature without per-user fees: how flat pricing works
Most small firms want e-signature without per-user fees because the bill should follow documents, not headcount. This page explains the two pricing models and what to ask a vendor.
Per-user pricing vs flat firm pricing
| Per-user plan | Flat per-firm plan | |
|---|---|---|
| You pay for | Each person with a seat | The firm, once |
| Adding a new hire | Usually raises the bill | No change |
| Budgeting | Depends on team size | One fixed line |
| Watch for | Seat minimums, add-ons | Limits on documents or templates |
This is an illustration of two pricing models, not a comparison of named vendors. Check each vendor's current pricing page.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Does every sender need a paid seat?
- Do signers need an account or a paid plan?
- What is capped: documents, templates, storage?
- What happens to the price when the team grows?
The Inkdrop concept
Inkdrop is an early concept, not a product you can buy. The proposed early-access plan is $49 per month per firm, with unlimited signers, unlimited documents and 3 templates. Add-ons proposed: $15 per month for an extra template pack and $10 per month for custom branding. Prices may change before any launch.
