Frequently asked questions
Does DottedSign have a free plan?+
Yes. DottedSign lists a free plan alongside a free trial, so free plan and free trial covers both ways in. The free tier is a working starting point rather than a demo, and you move to the Pro plan when you need more. Support is self-serve through help centre.
What are the usage limits on the free plan?+
The free plan carries a cap and Pro lifts it, as Free plan with limit; Pro unlimited sets out. For context, Privy.id's free plan is listed as 10 docs/month on Free plan, while eSignly's reads Free plan: unlimited signatures, 5 MB. If your volume passes the cap, Pro is the step up.
What does DottedSign cost at entry and at renewal?+
Site data for e-signature tools puts the price from median at €13.15 and the renewal median at €5.99, with the introductory median at €2.99. Renewal prices sit above entry prices, so budget for the second term.
What support does DottedSign offer?+
Support is self-serve, with help centre listed as the channel. No live chat or phone line appears in that set, so if you need a person on a stalled contract you are pointed to the help centre. Plan questions are easier answered before you sign.
Is DottedSign aimed at small businesses or larger teams?+
Both sit in the target mix, since small business and enterprise covers small-business and enterprise. The practical split is volume: Free plan with limit; Pro unlimited leaves the free plan capped and Pro uncapped, so a larger sending team pays for the Pro tier.
How does DottedSign compare with eSignly on the free plan?+
eSignly's free plan is listed as Free plan: unlimited signatures, 5 MB, which covers unlimited signatures, while this one reads Free plan with limit; Pro unlimited. If unlimited signing on a free tier settles the choice, eSignly has the edge; if a self-serve help centre suits how you work, DottedSign fits.
What kind of tool is DottedSign?+
It is an e-signature tool, listed under e signature, so the job is sending documents for signature rather than broad document editing. Read that alongside the plan shape in free plan and free trial and the caps in Free plan with limit; Pro unlimited when you weigh the fit.
Should I look at DocuSign or Privy.id instead?+
DocuSign has no free plan, so it fits buyers who pay from the first document rather than starting free. Privy.id's free plan reads 10 docs/month on Free plan, which suits a light monthly volume. DottedSign's Free plan with limit; Pro unlimited puts the choice between a capped free plan and an uncapped Pro tier.
