Which should you choose?
Choose DocuSign for enterprise compliance programs. Choose DonForge if you want to write, design and sign estimates and contracts in one affordable app.
Switching from DocuSign
You do not have to move everything at once. Start by recreating your most-used piece — usually a flyer, a business card or an estimate — from a DonForge template for your industry. Upload your logo and colors to the brand kit so every new file matches. Import existing PDFs and Word documents, then send your next contract for signature from the same file. Most owners are fully set up in an afternoon.
Many DonForge users keep a specialist tool for edge cases and use DonForge for the day-to-day: flyers and posts, estimates and invoices, PDF clean-up and signatures — with one login, one brand kit and one link for clients.
