About Documenso
Documenso is an open source electronic signature platform. It lets you create documents, send them for signing and keep signed copies, and you can host it yourself or use the hosted service. Developers can use its API and embed the signing experience in their own applications.
What it does
You upload a PDF, place the signature fields and send it to the people who need to sign. Signers receive a link and sign in the browser, and a copy is sent to everyone when the process is complete. Templates and workflows help with repeat agreements. The API lets other software create and send documents automatically.

Who it's for
Developers and product teams that want to add signing to an app, and businesses that want to keep signed documents on their own servers. Small teams that want a DocuSign alternative with open code can also consider it.
Pricing and good to know
The software is open source under the AGPL-3.0 licence, so you can read and run the code. The company also offers hosted plans with listed prices on its website. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and server setup yourself.
