Businesses and individuals needing to collect signatures on documents face high recurring subscription costs from incumbents for what is fundamentally a simple workflow.

Most widely-used PDF tools impose unnecessary sign-up flows, ads, or slow load times to perform basic operations like merging or compressing files.

Freelancer Invoicing Tools Are Either Too Expensive or Too Complex for Simple Needs
