Show HN: Get e-signatures & pay per signed doc

Woke up today with a 100-degree fever & found out Google is now our competitor.

Last week, we started building signwith.co/ - a simple, pay-per-use e-signature tool for people who are struggling with complex e-sign tools.

The plan was to build quietly, run a private beta, get 50 users in 15 days, and then do a launch. Easy peasy.

But since Google dropped into the e-signature space - we needed to talk.

So after 30 minutes of existential dread, a lot of “what are we even doing?” thoughts, and one strong dose of paracetamol

we said, screw it. - let’s change gears.

So now we're opening our beta, and here's the deal:

• All the people who join will get free credits worth 10 signed docs • 12 months credit validity • No complexity • No hidden cost • No subscription commitment

You can join the beta here - http://signwith.co

That said, we see Google's entry in the signature space as validation.

This event expanded the market with such massive awareness.

Let me be clear: We’re not trying to be DocuSign, Google, or any other enterprise beast.

We’re indie makers and building for: • The freelancers • The consultants • The indie and small business owners • and anyone who just needs a contract signed—fast, simple, no headaches.

Here’s how SignWith works: • Upload your doc • Drop signature spots • Send it out and track • Pay per signed document

That’s it. No subscriptions. No feature bloat. No crazy hidden charges and no complex pricing tiers.

If you've read it so far, would love to see you on the other side.

And hey, if you’ve got any feedback, suggestions, or just want to tell us what you need, reply here or drop me a DM. We’re all ears!

Cheers!

indeed - scary validation

thanks for the suggestions - made the change in the title.

yes they were - thanks buddy fixed it :)

I was told by two Swiss lawyers not to ever use DocuSign. Either use paper like before or the eSign service from Swisscom [1] which holds up in court.

The problem with being in this space is that you need to have the financials to be around for long enough to be useful. For legal documents, that means a 3+ year horizon.

Right now, you might work for low-risk (meaning, essentially no risk of contract disputes) short-term gigs for freelancers and consultants, but you're a no-go for businesses of any size, or anyone else that needs a contract signed.

You need to demonstrate stability before you can expand from the short-term niche, or else that your signature/document validation service will survive the likely death of your company.
