An honest look at how FileCurrent and DocuSign compare for a solo freelancer, so you can pick the one that actually fits how you work.
| FileCurrent | DocuSign | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $15/month (or $129/year) | from ~$15/month (signatures only) |
| Invoicing + getting paid | Built in | No |
| E-signature | Built in (ESIGN/UETA) | Yes (its whole product) |
| Focus | Run the whole client job | E-signatures only |
| Free trial | 7-day free trial, no card | Free trial |
DocuSign is the gold standard for e-signatures: rock-solid legal standing, audit trails, and integrations, trusted by enterprises worldwide. For signing documents at scale, nothing is more established.
It only does signatures. There is no invoicing, no getting paid, no client management, so a freelancer still needs separate tools for the rest of the job, and the per-envelope limits on lower plans add up.
Anyone whose sole need is a heavy volume of legally-robust e-signatures, separate from invoicing and payments.
$15/month or $129/year, never a cut of your payments, and reminders that chase late payers for you. No credit card required.
