I feel like everytime I log onto this site I encounter a finished project that's very similar to something I'm working on. I'm too slow (or project hop too much).

Not that PDF related tools are uncommon but yeah I think people understand the sentiment.

I'm also very surprised that <redacted> for profit companies in the Document-manipulating/signing/storing still exist outside of niche industries (healthcare, govt, law) that require audit-trails and other regulatory specifics. I guess SEO still rules.. If anyone wants to make some money call up all the biggest real estate firms in your area and ask them how much they spend on contract signing or related services (it's a lot) and then offer them to do this for half the amount ( I can sign 20-30k documents for <$100 a month, and could be cheaper probably) Your average real estate firm is paying .50c-$1 a signature if they are uninformed, there's a lot of the uninformed.

Manipulation and signing is the easy part. Robust storage, retrieval and deletion aren't so easy.

Reputation often matters more than price in this area, because the pricey services amount to peanuts compared to the business as a whole. It's like doing price optimisation on toilet paper in the office. And reputation is generally interpreted as a proxy for reliability and a guarantee that there will be someone to sue if things go bad.

Could you please elaborate how do you sign 10k documents for $100/month?

Depends on the size of the documents but it's very straightforward. As someone mentioned it's reputation that is the expensive part.
