Refrendo

Cheaper DocuSign alternative

Paying too much for e-signatures?

Refrendo is priced on the people who send documents and how many they send. The people who approve or sign never cost anything. Put in your numbers and see the plan you’d need.

Refrendo is in a closed beta. Beta organisations use it free.

Why e-signature bills grow faster than the team

Many e-signature plans are sold per user, with a sending allowance attached to each user. That works while one or two people send. It gets expensive when the whole team needs to send occasionally, because every occasional sender needs a full seat, or when one busy sender runs past their individual allowance.

Refrendo prices differently: you pay for named senders (the people who actually send), and your monthly allowance is shared by the whole team. Approvers and signers are unlimited and free. One busy sender and four occasional ones draw from the same pool.

Worked examples

These use the plans and allowances the app enforces. Prices will be announced before the beta ends.

Cheaper shouldn’t mean weaker evidence

Every plan, including Free, keeps SHA-256 fingerprints of the original and signed document, a chained audit trail and a completion certificate. We don’t charge extra for the evidence that makes a signature worth having.

What would Refrendo cost you?

Approvers and signers are always free, so count only the people who send.

Questions

How is Refrendo cheaper than DocuSign?

We don’t publish claims about other companies’ prices, because they change and depend on your contract. What we can say is how Refrendo is priced: per named sender, with a monthly allowance shared by the whole team, and nothing for approvers or signers. Put in what you pay today and the calculator shows the difference.

Are there hidden costs or overage fees?

No. If you reach your allowance, new requests wait until the next period unless you choose to buy a pack of extra requests or change plan. Requests already sent always finish.

Do reminders or re-sending count as new requests?

No. A request counts once, when it is first sent. Reminders, resending after changes and passing a request to someone else never count again.

Is there a contract or minimum term?

Paid plans are month to month and you can cancel any time from the billing page. Nothing is deleted if you downgrade.
