Two good tools. Pick the one that fits the work.

DocuSign is e-signature software with templates, audit trails, bulk send and enterprise integrations. Where it’s the better choice comes first.

  • You need bulk send, ID verification or payment while signing
  • Legal or procurement asks for DocuSign by name
  • You need enterprise integrations and admin controls
Docsiv is the better choice when…

Moving from DocuSign, one job at a time.

There’s no importer, and you don’t need one: start with the next piece of work rather than the archive.

  1. 1Bring what you have

    Download your DocuSign documents as PDF or Word and open them in the PDFs or Documents app, or attach one to Docsiv AI and ask for a new version built from it.

  2. 2Set your brand once

    Add your logo, colours and fonts as a brand kit. Templates and AI drafts pick them up, so the first document already looks like yours.

  3. 3Run both for a while

    Keep DocuSign for bulk sends and agreements legal asks for, and sign everyday proposals where you write them.

Docsiv and DocuSign: common questions.

Something else on your mind? Ask us in the chat, bottom right of the page.

Are Docsiv e-signatures legally binding?

Docsiv records who signed, when and from where, and returns a signed PDF with a certificate of completion. Whether an e-signature is valid for a given agreement depends on where you and your client are; check with your adviser for regulated agreements.

Can I send any PDF for signature in Docsiv?

Yes, on Pro and Team: place signature, name and date fields on any PDF or Word document, choose the signing order and send.

Is Docsiv cheaper than DocuSign?

For a small team that also writes the documents, usually: Team is $60 a month for up to five people with unlimited signing requests. If you only need signatures, at high volume or with bulk send and ID checks, DocuSign’s specialist plans may be worth it.

Keep comparing.
