Sadly docusign has been losing its edge over the years in support with us as it is. Now there is today’s issue which has caused me to leave. There are so many services for this service and I noticed that most of my vendors and relationships have gone to Pandadoc and signNOW. Seeing my costs increasing for what I have literally been doing for over a decade with Docusign, I had to look around. This is not even a close comparison. DocuSign has changed their pricing, and its WAY more for less than so many competitors.

DO we get a new set of 100 esigs each year?
Message from Bot.
Apologies – I searched all through my knowledge base, but I couldn’t find a good answer for your question.
Here’s a tip: I usually do better when I get short phrases like ‘help with signing‘ or ‘how to find my invoice‘.

Let me check your plans and envelopes in your account.
Message from Visitor.
Been here a long time. NEVER have we had this ENVELOPE limit
Message from Agent.
Allow me to go ahead and check. Is it okay if you hold for 3 to 5 minutes?
Message from Visitor.
So I need to understand, because what I am now seeing is going to price me away
Message from Visitor.
sure.
Message from Visitor.
Pandadoc wouold be $19.95 a month (Billed Annually) so LESS than what I pay with you.
Message from Visitor.
AND it is UNLIMITED
Message from Visitor.
UNLIMITED.
Message from Agent.
Thank you so much for holding.
Message from Visitor.
I guess I’m just checking to see why I would even want to stay here…
Message from Agent.
As per checking in here, you have the standard annual plan in which it can send up to 120 envelopes. And unfortunately, we don’t have any unlimited envelopes.
Message from Visitor.
It shows 100 in my back office
SHOWING WHAT I SEE HERE:
Message from Agent.
In each of our plan we have a limit of envelopes that you can use.
Message from Visitor.
and is that per year? Or TOTAL?
Message from Agent.
Yes, that is correct.
Message from Agent.
Per year
Message from Visitor.
Yes to which question?
Message from Visitor.
So we get new in another year
Message from Visitor.
new additional?
Message from Visitor.
Yeah… adding this up for us. It is by far a better deal to move away. I have a business collective of about 56 business. All of us have been using this service for years.
Message from Agent.
As per checking in here, you have used 32 envelopes. So you still have 98 envelopes left until the expiration date of your plan.
Message from Visitor.
That is not what it says
Message from Visitor.
It literally says I am at 80/100
Message from Agent.
Are you seeing it on your plan and billing page?
Message from Visitor.
and sends up warnings that we need t upgrade
Message from Visitor.
YES. Says I am at 79/100
Message from Visitor.
and I need to upgrade
Message from Visitor.
I am not showing 120… we renewed in May
Message from Agent.
Aside from the plan and billing page, you can actually see the envelopes you have used via reports tab.
Message from Agent.
You can use this link on how to use it. https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&rsc_301&bundleId=lye1642705772274&topicId=jqa1634163279368.html&_LANG=enus
Message from Visitor.
So, is the billing page inaccurate then?
Message from Visitor.
I am furious as a client. This is changing what I had for years and years.
Message from Visitor.
I would not have renewed with this
Message from Agent.
I’m sorry but we are still looking for that issue, while doing so, it would be best to run a report starting from the date you started your plan until the current date.
Message from Visitor.
I am at a loss. Why would I stay where I have limits and pay more than going to a service that is rated better that allows unlimited for 66% of the fees I am paying here?
Message from Visitor.
And your reporting isn’t even accurate
Message from Agent. (They literally changed the subject).
Are you able to send a document?
Message from Visitor.
I get alerts and prompts to spend more, and the reports are not even accurate to what I am supposed to have?
Message from Visitor.
YES. I can send anything
Message from Agent.
You should be able to send a document because I doubled check in here, you can still use 98 envelopes until the expiration date.
Message from Agent.

So needless to say, not a great experience. And after looking at several we went with Pandadoc. And is great!
Been with them for SO MANY years. 20 or so. And they just arbitrarily changed limits and how it works. They notified, but its incredible. Not pleased. And they kissed off a Client that is going to actively move anyone away now.
