Where this product fits — and who should buy something else
An honest positioning piece: the three kinds of buyer this is built for, and the four kinds who should pick a bigger product.

The established e-signature platforms are large, mature and sell mainly to organizations with procurement departments. We are not competing with that, and pretending otherwise would waste your time and ours.
Built for
- People who send a handful of agreements a month and resent paying a per-seat subscription for it. Prepaid credits exist for exactly this: 50 for $5, 10 a send, no expiry and nothing renewing.
- Anyone whose agreements get questioned later — contractors, landlords, studios, consultants. The evidence export is the reason this product exists, and it verifies without us.
- Developers embedding signing into their own product. The API, webhooks and embedded sessions are real and documented, and the signing page can be hosted inside your application without suppressing consent or evidence controls.
Buy something else if
- You need to send the same document to two hundred people at once. There is no bulk send.
- You need SSO, SCIM provisioning or a procurement-grade security questionnaire answered this quarter. We are small.
- You need conditional fields, approval chains or routing that branches. Routing here is sequential or parallel, and that is all.
- You need a sealed PDF today — a certificate-backed signature a PDF reader validates on its own. Ours is a Pro feature that is not applied yet.
What we do differently
Three things, and they are all consequences of the same decision: to say only what we can show.
- The evidence is checkable without us. Exports ship with the public key, the digests and the commands to recompute them. You are not asked to trust a dashboard.
- The audit record is append-only and hash-chained, with signed checkpoints, so removing an entry is detectable as well as editing one. Corrections are added, never rewritten.
- Assurance is reported precisely. Where no seal is applied, the artifact says "not applied" — not "passed", and not "invalid".
A hash proves the bytes are unchanged. It does not prove who signed, what they intended, or that an agreement is enforceable anywhere in particular. Any product that implies otherwise is selling you a feeling.
