Flowsign vs DocuSign: a New Zealand alternative

2 minutes read


DocuSign is the best-known e-signature product in the world. Flowsign is a document signing platform built and supported in New Zealand.

Both send documents for signature and return a signed record. Here is how they differ.

In a nutshell

  • Dynamic documents. Edit Word documents right in Flowsign, with wording that adapts to each send.
  • Pricing. DocuSign charges per user. Flowsign charges per package.
  • Local. Flowsign is built and supported in New Zealand.
  • Multi-document sends. Flowsign is built around packages: several documents and recipients in one send.

Dynamic documents

A dynamic document is a Word document you edit right in Flowsign. The sender answers a few questions at send, and the wording adapts to those answers.

  • Clauses appear only when they apply.
  • Alternative wording swaps in for each answer.
  • Names, dates and amounts fill in from merge fields.

One template replaces a folder of near-identical Word files. Our guide to templates, workflows and dynamic documents shows how it works.

Pricing

DocuSign prices per user, with sending limits.

Flowsign prices per package. A package is one send, however many documents, pages or signers it holds.

  • Your first 3 packages are free.
  • Extra packages cost $2.20 each excluding GST, on every plan.
  • Business has no limit on users.

See pricing for the plans.

Built in New Zealand

A local team builds Flowsign and answers your support questions, in your time zone.

Packages and workflows

A package puts several documents and recipients into one send. People sign in the order you set, and the result is sealed into one tamper-evident record.

  • Templates with roles and merge fields, on every plan.
  • Conditional fields, reminders and scheduled sending, on Solo and above.
  • Bulk send and custom branding, on Business and above.
  • Workflows, on Business and Enterprise.
  • Dynamic documents with wording that adapts to each send, on Enterprise.
  • Single sign-on, REST API, webhooks and connectors, on Enterprise.
