A DocuSign Alternative That Fits Your Budget and Your Signing Needs 

Discover why growing businesses choose Secured Signing instead of DocuSign

Why Consider an Alternative to DocuSign? 

DocuSign is one of the most recognised names in the eSignature industry and for good reason. It’s a mature, widely adopted platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. 

However, as organisations grow and document workflows become more complex, many businesses begin looking for an eSignature platform that offers more built-in functionality, stronger security, greater flexibility, affordable, and a more personalised customer experience. 

That’s where Secured Signing stands out. 

Secured Signing is designed for organizations that want more than just a digital signing tool. It delivers advanced security, workflow automation, identity verification, and responsive human support all within a single platform. 

How Secured Signing Compares to DocuSign 

Security: Advanced Electronic Signatures as the Core 

Both platforms offer legally binding electronic signatures that comply with global standards such as the ESIGN Act (US) and eIDAS (EU). The real distinction lies in the depth of their security architecture. 

Secured Signing is built on tamper‑proof X.509 PKI Digital Signatures, issuing a unique digital certificate for every signer across all price plans. This cryptographic foundation delivers a significantly higher level of document integrity, authenticity, and trust. 

What this means in practice 

  • Cryptographic binding: Every signature is mathematically tied to the signer’s unique private signing key, ensuring undeniable proof of identity. 
  • Tamper detection: Any attempt to alter a document after the first signature has been applied instantly invalidates the signature, providing true tamperproof protection. 
  • Regulatorygrade compliance: Each transaction includes a verifiable signature, authenticated signer identity, and a legally binding audit trail suitable for regulated environments. 

Why it matters 

For organizations of any size across legal, financial services, healthcare, staffing, SMB, or government agencies documents often face scrutiny, audits, or legal challenges. Secured Signing’s builtin cryptographic security provides the assurance that every signed document is authentic, unaltered, and defensible. 

It’s not just secure. It’s peace of mind engineered into every signature. 

More Built-In Features Without the Extra Complexity 

One of Secured Signing’s advantages is the depth of features available as standard across its platform for all price plan. 

Many businesses become frustrated when essential functionality requires additional upgrades, third-party tools, or costly add-ons. Secured Signing takes a different approach by including advanced capabilities within a single platform. 

Key built-in features include: 

  • Video Signing with Realify Deepfake Detection — captures signing process on video, adding an unchallengeable layer of proof to each signature 
  • Video Confirmation with Realify Deepfake Detection- short video of signer face to know who was behind the device at the signature moment. 
  • Two-Way Authentication — An extra security layer that uses two independent channels to protect every step of the signing process.  
  • Workflow Automation — A smart trigger that kicks off the entire signing journey—issuing documents, sending reminders, and tracking progress in real time.  
  • In-Person Signing— capture signatures Face-to-Face using any device 
  • Witness Signing — a dedicated workflow for documents requiring a witness 
  • Document Packages — send multiple documents together in a single signing invitation 
  • Smart Tag & Form Fields — Eliminate manual tagging with automated signature field placement, and boost efficiency using reusable web forms for fast, accurate data collection. 
  • Edit Signing Process — Full Control While Documents Are in Transit Easily adjust the signing workflow even after a document has been sent. Add or remove signers, reorder pages, update signature fields, and correct mistakes without restarting the process. Based on workflow rules. 
  • Mobile Signature Capture — sign from any device, anywhere, no apps are required. 
  • Real-Time Document Tracking — monitor and control the full document lifecycle from creation to completion 

This allows businesses to implement secure digital signing workflows quickly without needing to jump between multiple platforms or invest in additional software.

Human Support at the Centre of the Experience 

One of the areas where Secured Signing most clearly differentiates itself is customer support. 

With many enterprise software providers, personalised support is often locked behind premium pricing tiers. Secured Signing takes a customer-first approach by providing real human support as part of the overall experience. 

From onboarding through to day-to-day use, businesses have access to knowledgeable people who can help them get set up, troubleshoot issues, and make the most of the platform. For teams without large IT departments, this matters enormously, onboarding isn’t left to documentation alone, it’s an actively supported experience. 

Secured Signing users consistently highlight the responsiveness of the support team and the quality of the ongoing relationship as key reasons they stay. It’s a customer experience built around genuine partnership. 

 

Industry-Specific Workflows and Integrations 

Secured Signing is built to live within the tools your team already uses. We offer purpose-built integrations for industries that “mean business,” enabling end-to-end digital signing without double data entry. 

Workflow automation features, scheduling reminders, routing documents to sequential or parallel signers, pre-built government forms, and fully customisable signing workflows are available as standard, designed to fit real business operations rather than generic use cases. 

Transparent Pricing: Value No Hidden Costs  

When comparing eSignature platforms, pricing is about more than just the monthly subscription cost. Businesses also need to consider what features are included, how pricing scales as teams grow, and whether additional functionality requires expensive upgrades or add-ons. 

At the entry level, both platforms are broadly comparable in price. 

DocuSign Personal plans start from approximately $15.00 USD per user/month billed annually  

Secured Signing starts from approximately $12.00 USD per user/month  

On the surface, the pricing appears very similar. 

The real difference becomes more noticeable as businesses scale their teams, workflows, and document volumes. 

Where Businesses Often See the Difference 

With DocuSign, many advanced capabilities are tied to higher-tier plans or additional add-ons. As businesses grow, costs can increase when they need: 

  • More documents and users  
  • Advanced workflow automation  
  • Additional document envelopes  
  • Identity verification tools  
  • SMS authentication  
  • API access  
  • Premium support  
  • Advanced integrations  
  • Enhanced security controls  

For growing organizations, these additional costs can add up quickly over time. 

Secured Signing takes a more inclusive approach by offering a wider range of built-in functionality within the platform itself. 

 

Businesses benefit from: 

  • More included features from day one  
  • No hidden upgrade costs  
  • Reduced reliance on third-party tools  
  • Flexible workflow capabilities  
  • Built-in security and identity verification options  
  • Easier scalability as document volumes increases  

This helps organizations avoid the frustration of unlocking essential functionality through multiple pricing tiers or complex add-ons.

Who Is Secured Signing Best Suited For? 

Secured Signing is an excellent fit for: 

  • Any businesses size that want professional-grade document signing with full feature access from the start 
  • HR, recruitment, and staffing firms managing high volumes of employment contracts, onboarding documents, and compliance forms 
  • Legal, financial, Notary, and healthcare organisations where tamper-proof, PKI-backed signatures support and full audit logs are regulatory compliance 
  • Businesses that prioritise human customer support and want a vendor genuinely invested in their success

Organizations aiming to maximize value while keeping costs under control.
