A full content-management platform with 10 GB of free storage and a mobile app.
SMS signer verification and in-person signing from Personal Pro.
Unlimited web signing from Business.
More than 1,500 integrations and SOC 1, 2 and 3 reports, with HIPAA and FedRAMP Moderate on Enterprise.
Batch send, conditional fields and 21 CFR Part 11 on Enterprise Plus.
05HOW IT’S FREE
Free isn’t a trial or a teaser. It comes from how we build, and who builds it.
The team behind DocuPipe spent a decade building machine-learning systems. Now we write, review and test Countersigned with AI at every step. That lets a small team run a complete signing product without legacy code or a large sales floor to fund, so the essentials can stay free.
It also means we move quickly. When something you need is missing, tell us.
Countersigned is built by the team behind DocuPipe, the document-intelligence platform with ISO 27001:2022 certification, a SOC 2 Type II report and annual penetration tests. Those attestations cover DocuPipe, not Countersigned yet, but the habits came with us.
06SWITCHING

Email or Google. No credit card, no trial clock.
Upload the PDFs you already send, place signer fields, and save up to 20 as reusable templates.
Recipients sign in the browser without an account, and everyone gets the completed PDF.
07QUESTIONS
Box’s free Individual plan includes 5 Box Sign requests a month. Personal Pro includes 15 for $10 a month billed annually. Countersigned Free includes 20 envelopes a month.
Yes. Download your completed agreements and store them wherever you like. Countersigned doesn’t have a Box integration yet, so the upload and download steps are manual.
We build with AI at every step, so a small team can run the whole product without a large sales organization to pay for. Free covers 20 envelopes a month and up to 20 templates, permanently. Teams that need more pay for Pro: $20 per seat per month for 200 shared envelopes. That, not your data, is the business model.
Countersigned records each signer’s consent, signing events, IP address and browser, and produces a completed PDF with a completion record and document hashes. In the US, the ESIGN Act and UETA generally prevent a signature from being denied legal effect just because it’s electronic, but whether e-signing suits a particular agreement depends on the document and the law that applies. Countersigned doesn’t yet offer certificate-backed PDF sealing or qualified eIDAS signatures.
Sending pauses until your allowance resets on the first of the month, or you can upgrade to Pro for 200 shared envelopes at $20 per seat per month. Signing and template reuse never use up envelopes; only sending does.
No. Recipients open a private link, review the document and sign in the browser. They don’t need an account or a subscription, and everyone gets the completed PDF.
