DocuSign’s personal plan caps you at 100 envelopes a year, then charges $10–40 per overage. That cap is measured in envelopes, not documents or recipients — and it’s easy to hit without noticing.

An envelope is DocuSign’s unit of sending, not a document. One envelope can bundle multiple documents and multiple recipients into a single send — but that whole transaction still counts as just one envelope against your yearly limit. Send the same one-page NDA to five different people as five separate sends, though, and that’s five envelopes, not one.
On the personal plan, DocuSign caps you at 100 envelopes a year, then charges $10–40 per overage. There’s no way to see it coming on a per-document basis — you find out when the overage charge hits, or when sending is blocked until you upgrade.
| Feature | Evenseal | DocuSign |
|---|---|---|
| Envelope / send cap (paid plan) | Unlimited | 100 envelopes/year (personal plan) |
| Overage fee | None — ever | $10–40 per envelope over the cap |

100 envelopes a year sounds like plenty until you count backward: that’s fewer than 9 a month. A freelancer sending one contract and one invoice-acknowledgment per client can clear that in a normal month with just four or five active clients. A small agency sending onboarding paperwork, NDAs, and statements of work hits it faster still.
Once you’re over, DocuSign caps you at 100 envelopes a year, then charges $10–40 per overage — so 50 envelopes over the cap in a year is $500 to $2,000 in overage charges alone, on top of whatever the plan itself costs. Need bulk sending to clear a backlog faster? DocuSign gates bulk send behind the Business Pro plan (~$40/user/mo), a separate upgrade on top of the overage.
