What the vendor’s pages say
Documenso is an open-source e-signature platform. Its licence file is the GNU AGPL-3.0, and the project's README describes self-hosting it with Docker.
The hosted pricing is unusually flat. Free allows 5 documents a month with up to 10 recipients each. Individual costs $25 a month on yearly billing ($300 a year) with unlimited documents. Teams costs $40 a month on yearly billing ($480 a year), "includes 5 users" and charges $8 a month for each additional user. Platform, at $250 a month on yearly billing, covers unlimited documents and users and adds white-label embedded signing. Paid plans are subject to a fair-use policy that the page links.
Self-hosting needs a careful read. The self-hosted page offers three editions. The free Community Edition is listed for "testing, evaluation, internal POCs", without the enterprise feature set or support. The Business Edition is a "fixed yearly license" intended for "serious production use", and its price is not published. All three editions list no usage limits, and none includes infrastructure support.
So the open-source licence lets you run Documenso yourself, but Documenso's own guidance points production teams to a paid licence. If you want signing on your own servers with no licence fee at all, read the AGPL terms and Documenso's edition notes before you rely on the Community Edition.
At 10 users: Teams costs $80 a month on yearly billing: $40 for the first five users plus five more at $8. At 25 users it is $200. Compare it with DocuSign and Dropbox Sign, or see servers for self-hosting.
