OpenSign
A self-hosted signing platform aimed squarely at DocuSign's feature list.
84
sovereigntyOpenSign covers templates, bulk sending, multiple signers, reminders and an audit trail, with a self-hosted deployment and an interface deliberately familiar to anyone coming from DocuSign. Its aim is feature parity rather than reinvention, which makes it the shortest retraining path for a team that already has a signing process it likes. It is smaller and less established than Documenso, and the project's licensing has moved over time, so check the current terms against your intended use before you commit.
