Documenso
Documenso is an open source electronic signature platform for creating, sending, and signing documents online. It offers hosted cloud plans and self-hosted deployment, positioning itself as an open alternative to commercial e-signature tools like DocuSign.
The product covers the full signing workflow: upload documents, define recipient roles and signing order, add preset or custom fields, and track status in real time. Templates, direct links, team workspaces, and customizable post-sign redirects help teams run repeatable signing flows without rebuilding each document from scratch.
Developers can embed white-labeled signing in React, Vue, or other apps via the public API, webhooks, and Zapier. Documenso reports compliance with ESIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS SES, 21 CFR Part 11, SOC 2, and HIPAA, with self-hosted Community, Business, and Enterprise license tiers for organizations that need full infrastructure control.
