In a world where we can order groceries from bed, binge-watch entire series in a weekend, and work from anywhere (including that beach chair you swear is “ergonomically correct”), it’s no surprise that businesses expect the same level of convenience in their workflows. Enter e-signature tools—the unsung heroes that keep contracts moving, approvals flowing, and teams focused on what matters.
But here’s the kicker: not all e-sign tools are created equal. Some are efficient and affordable. Others? They’re like paying for a first-class seat and still getting charged for peanuts.
In fact, the average business can save up to $1,200 per year per employee just by switching to the right e-signature platform. Spoiler alert: yes, we’re talking about HubSign.
Let’s break down how.
The Problem: Overpaying for E-Signatures
Most businesses start with whatever big-name e-sign tool everyone else is using. You know the one—their logo is probably burned into your brain from countless PDF signatures. And sure, it works. But here’s what they don’t tell you:
- You’re paying for features you’ll never use.
- Pricing tiers are designed to lock you in, not help you grow.
- Hidden costs creep in like weeds—storage, extra users, and even “premium support.”
Before you know it, you’re shelling out hundreds of dollars a year just for the privilege of clicking sign here. Multiply that across your entire team, and suddenly your e-sign budget looks like a car payment.
The Math: Where the $1,200 Comes From
Let’s crunch some numbers. (Don’t worry, no calculator required—you can keep sipping that latte.)
- Average cost of mainstream e-sign tools: $30–$40 per user per month.
- Annual cost per employee: roughly $420.
- Add-ons and upgrades: $100–$200 more a year (because who doesn’t want “unlimited templates”?).
- Storage and integrations: $100–$150 (hello, hidden fees).
Total? Around $700–$800 a year per employee.
Now multiply that across a small team of 10: you’re looking at $7,000–$8,000 annually.
With HubSign, the average cost is less than half. Our lean pricing model (no fluff, no gotchas) saves companies $1,200 per employee per year. That’s real money you can reallocate into growth—not signatures.
The Solution: HubSign
So, how does HubSign pull this off without selling its soul to the subscription gods? Simple:
- Transparent pricing: What you see is what you get.
- Unlimited signatures: Because nickel-and-diming customers is so last decade.
- Smart integrations: We play nice with the tools you already use (Slack, Google Drive, Airtable—you name it).
- User-friendly interface: Grandma could sign a contract on HubSign. (And if she can’t, we’ll take that feedback seriously.)
Real-Life Use Case: The Small Business CFO
Imagine you’re the CFO of a 20-person startup. You’ve been using Big Name E-Sign™ because it felt safe. But when you dig into your invoices, you realize you’re paying nearly $16,000 annually for document signatures.
Switch to HubSign? That number drops closer to $8,000. Congratulations! You’ve just freed up $8K to invest in marketing, product development, or, let’s be honest, a much-needed team retreat with cocktails included.
Hidden Perks You Didn’t Know You Needed
Saving money is great, but here’s what really seals the deal:
- Time savings: On average, HubSign users close deals 40% faster than with traditional tools. Faster signatures = faster cash flow.
- Eco-friendly impact: Going paperless saves about 10,000 sheets of paper per employee per year. Translation: you’re saving trees and money. 🌱
- Happier teams: Less time wrangling with clunky platforms, more time doing meaningful work.
The Competitive Advantage
Here’s the thing: efficiency isn’t just nice, it’s also a business advantage. Every dollar saved on admin tools is a dollar you can put toward growth.
Think of it this way: would you rather spend $1,200 a year on e-signatures, or…
- Hire a freelance designer to revamp your website?
- Run a month-long paid ad campaign?
- Buy enough coffee to fuel your entire office for a year?
HubSign makes the choice obvious.
