}Why Papyrus Doc
Every plan includes a clear document allowance at a flat subscription price — no per-document fees, no surprise invoices, no envelope bundles to manage. Monthly plans reset monthly. Annual plans reset annually.
Full REST API access on every plan, including Free. No upgrade wall, no separate agreement — start integrating the moment you sign up.
Upload a document, add signers, hit send. Need to automate? The API is just as simple. Most teams are live in under 10 minutes.
We're a small team and that's on purpose. Your questions go straight to engineers — no ticket queues, no chatbots, no three-day wait for a canned response.

FAQ
Most developers are sending documents within minutes. Create an account, grab your API key, and make your first API call — or just upload a document through the dashboard.
On the free plan, you can send up to 5 documents per month. Once you reach that limit, you'll need to upgrade to keep sending. Your existing documents and signatures remain fully accessible — we never hold your data hostage.
You are billed when a document is sent for signature, regardless of whether the recipient signs it. This keeps our pricing simple and predictable — what you send is what you pay for.
Yes, always. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no questions asked. When you cancel, your documents and audit trails remain accessible.
Every document is encrypted at rest and in transit. We maintain full audit trails with IP addresses and timestamps for every action. Two-factor authentication is available on all plans.
If your volume exceeds what the Business plan covers comfortably, reach out to our team. We can work with you on custom monthly or annual document allowances.
Start with our free plan. No credit card, no setup, no commitment.
