Refrendo

Free DocuSign alternative

A free e-signature plan with clear limits

Refrendo’s free plan lets you send real documents for approval and signature, with the same audit trail and completion certificate as every paid plan. No card and no trial clock.

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

What the free plan includes

What it doesn’t include

Free is for trying Refrendo properly and for very light use. It is one sender, and each step has one person, so there is no “any two of three directors”, no delegation and no API. When you outgrow it, paid plans start from a modest monthly price (to be announced), with a free trial first.

Why a free plan instead of a free trial?

A trial asks you to decide in 14 or 30 days whether a tool fits processes you might only run a few times a month. The free plan lets you use Refrendo for real, on your own schedule, and upgrade when the volume is there.

Details about other products are from their public websites as of September 2026 and may have changed. DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign are trademarks of their owners; Refrendo is not affiliated with them.

Questions

Is the free plan free for good?

Yes. No card is needed to sign up and nothing expires. When you need more, you choose to upgrade. We never move you to a paid plan automatically.

Can the people I send to sign for free?

Yes, on every plan. Approvers and signers never pay and never need an account.

What happens to my documents if I stay on Free?

Completed documents are kept for the free plan’s retention period (kept for 30 days). Paid plans keep them for longer.

Join the closed beta

Refrendo is invitation-only for now. Organisations in the beta approve and sign free for as long as it runs.
