Integrations could be improved, like DocuSign.

Over time, it evolved to... send certificates via email. Using... Docusign... the solution ended up supporting over 1 million tests.

The UX is very user friendly and its very affordable.

Their UI is very intuitive.

its free version offers more than the others, and the paid version is also cheapest.

10 free signs per month on free plan.

You can paste your signature, choose some random image to represent your signature, or even merely click to sign. Have you used Docusign?

A lot of companies (including law firms and Fortune 100 corps) have had me sign documents with DocuSign with no reservation.

One way (of many) would be hellosign docusign but running on ethereum main net. Of course this is only necessary if you want to produce a signature that looks handwritten (not essential for the doc to be legally-binding in the USA).

Docusign is indeed pretty terrible as an API, but it does have the benefit that users have heard of it so it has a certain institutional credibility.

The HelloSign API plans were expensive - but still a fraction of what DocuSign charged (at the time HS was 20% as expensive).
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: considered for embedded signature integration
I was able to hack together solutions and skirt around DocuSign's many problems, garbage documentation, and general very-low-quality API, but in no circumstance would I ever recommend it to anyone.

An electronic signature from a licensed provider is just as good as a paper signature. They certainly have legal value and are used for real estate closing and the like.

But this option is significantly less popular than hellosign docusign. I guess the value-add for them is having a web interface, but I m not convinced it s worth the $150 year.

DocuSign and Adobe are still leading in the e-signature space.

I assume it’s because DocuSign does as well. I don't know why HelloSign uses this business model of charging a monthly fee and severely limiting the number of templates.

The Docusign integration did suck. It was terrible. Lots of it was incomplete. Their vendor library was a godawful mess, built from some automated tool that converts an API into a bad class library.

Docusign is what people trust.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: e-signing documents (as the trusted standard)
Stop paying DocuSign $2 for an e-signature... Much easier than DocuSign.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: e-signatures for contracts, considered too expensive
I wouldn't agree that DocuSign's continued success is because of the maturity of the product.
