Frequently Asked Questions
What is DottiSign and how does it work?
DottiSign is an online PDF document builder and e-signature tool. You upload any PDF, drag and drop signature fields, text inputs, dates, and checkboxes onto the document, then send it to recipients via email. Recipients sign from any device using a secure link, with no account creation or app download required. The entire process takes under 2 minutes.
Is DottiSign legally binding?
Yes, DottiSign e-signatures are legally binding. Every signed document includes a complete audit trail with timestamps, IP addresses, and email verification. Electronic signatures are legally recognized under the ESIGN Act (United States) and eIDAS (European Union), making DottiSign signatures enforceable in court.
How much does DottiSign cost?
DottiSign offers a free plan with 5 documents and 3 e-signatures to get started. Paid plans are one-time lifetime purchases: $49 for 50 documents and 25 e-signatures per month, $89 for 200 documents and 150 e-signatures per month, and $169 for 600 documents and 500 e-signatures per month. Allowances reset every month and the plan never expires. There are no monthly fees, no per-seat charges, and no hidden costs.
How is DottiSign different from DocuSign or PandaDoc?
DottiSign is a lifetime-purchase alternative to subscription-based tools like DocuSign ($25/month) and PandaDoc ($35/month). Unlike those tools, DottiSign includes a built-in PDF drag-and-drop editor at no extra cost. You pay once and use it forever — no recurring fees, no annual contracts.
Do recipients need an account to sign documents?
No. Recipients receive a secure email link and can sign documents directly from any device: desktop, tablet, or phone. No account creation, no app download, and no registration required. This makes DottiSign ideal for sending contracts to clients who aren't tech-savvy.
Who is DottiSign best for?
DottiSign is built for freelancers, small businesses, real estate agents, consultants, and anyone who needs to get documents signed without enterprise pricing. It's ideal if you send fewer than 50 contracts per month and want a simple, affordable tool that combines PDF editing and e-signatures in one place.
