The DocuSign Alternative
That Also Gets You Paid

If you sign client contracts and then invoice for them, you don't need a separate e-signature subscription. Clientary sends the contract, collects every signature, and creates the invoice when it's signed.

Why teams choose Clientary over DocuSign

No envelope counting

DocuSign's Standard and Business Pro plans list 100 envelopes per user per year. Clientary has no limit on how many contracts you send.

Signed means invoiced

Turn on automatic invoicing and the deposit invoice goes out the moment the last signer signs, ready to pay online.

Built for client work

Proposals with pricing packages, contracts, estimates, projects, and invoices share one record, so nothing is retyped.

One price for everything

Clientary's plans include e-signatures alongside invoicing, time tracking, and the client portal, from $19/mo.

Where DocuSign may be the better fit

No tool is right for everyone. Here's where DocuSign shines.

DocuSign handles complex signing workflows for any document type, with advanced routing and compliance options for regulated industries.

If you sign many kinds of documents that have nothing to do with client work, a dedicated e-signature tool may suit you better.

Users love Clientary on G2

Most of the time I'm paid within minutes of sending an invoice because it's so easy for someone to check that task off their list. Obviously I like this software, but most importantly to me - my clients like it.

With recurring invoices, custom templates, time tracking, expense tracking, automated invoice reminders, and so much more, the toolkit they offer has kept us organized and hugely simplified our bookkeeping. I can't count how many times our clients have asked about our 'amazing' invoicing system.

When searching for a client management and invoicing system we researched all the tools for SMBs on the market and tested them out, and Clientary was our hands down choice for ease of use and the ability to easily customize client-facing documentation. And of course the very reasonable subscription fee. As they say themselves, "all the functionality we need, and none that we don't."

Frequently asked questions

Are Clientary e-signatures legally binding?

Clientary records each signer's drawn signature, name, the time they signed, and their IP address, and emails everyone a signed copy. Electronic signatures like these are widely accepted for business contracts, but check the rules for your industry and country.

Is there a limit on how many contracts I can send?

No. Send as many contracts and proposals as you need on any plan.

Can my team sign too?

Yes. Name the people on your side who sign, and each gets their own link. Or sign once as the author with a saved signature.
