I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

For the curious, the price is $1.50/envelope, which seems very reasonable (I'm not affiliated). [0]

When you factor in the price of buying a printer, and move the printed doc around for multiple persons to sign, it is comparable if not cheaper.

I don't think that's a fair comparison, as you would have to compare buying a printer and pen, with buying a computer and internet connection.

You can also print stuff for like 5c a page at the library and get some cool books while you're there.

Can also use the library computer too.

One could make the argument that the time, effort and coordination that it takes to go to the library and also coordinate a counter signature is more expensive than the cost per envelope.

I generally sign my documents using macOS’s built in Preview app. I guess I pay for it when I purchase a MacBook but I get a whole lot more value.

What do web apps like DocuSign offer that Preview doesn’t?

Preview works great for one people signing. Not so helpful for people sending. GoodSign helps businesses to make sure that when the send a contract it does get signed and they don't forget about it (GoodSign keeps reminding you to sign). It allows two different people to sign at the same time and it doesn't matter what order. The document is saved forever, securely so you don't lose it.

Well, yeah he forgot to mention Mail app (also runs on Mac) where you just click on Gray/Blue star "Sign" - and it's signed. But that's only the message right? Well - you should sign PDF before as well. Then - it's done. Don't get us wrong - I don't even check your project - which definitely deserve to exists - just saying - maybe it's not for everyone...
