Introducing Self-Hosted Signing Infrastructure for Enterprise

18 sept. 2025

Signing is Infrastructure, Not Just Another SaaS

Signing is still treated like a SaaS application and not as part of enterprise infrastructure. For enterprises, this creates lock-in, compliance risk, and unpredictable costs in a workflow that touches the most sensitive data the company handles. Building your own system from scattered open source is technically possible, but it’s a massive maintenance headache and rarely worth the trouble at scale. What is missing is signing infrastructure that can be self-hosted, extended, and relied on for the long term. That is why we built Documenso Enterprise, an open source foundation with enterprise-grade guarantees and support.

Documenso Enterprise Self-Hosted: Signing Infrastructure You Control

We are introducing the Documenso Enterprise Self-Hosted License, a signing platform you fully control, backed by enterprise support and licensing. With the Documenso Self-Hosted Enterprise License you can:

• Run your own signing instance without limits on volume, users, or workspaces
• Use the same security and compliance features as our hosted version
• Access enterprise-specific features, compliance modules, and upgrades
• Build on a transparent open source foundation
• Rely on enterprise guarantees such as SLAs, support, and roadmap access

Our philosophy is to empower enterprises to run their signing infrastructure without limits on usage or control.

Community Edition vs Enterprise Edition for Self-Hosters

Documenso started as open source, and the community edition is here to stay. It provides the core workflows needed to run your own signing system and is perfect for smaller teams, experimentation, and non-critical deployments. The community benefits from open development, collaboration, and full transparency of the codebase.

Enterprises, however, need more than just code. They need guarantees. The enterprise edition adds the layers that matter when signing becomes critical infrastructure. Dedicated support means issues are resolved within defined timelines. Security patches are delivered consistently and with compliance in mind. Enterprise-only features like SSO, audit logging, or advanced integrations are made available. And perhaps most importantly, enterprise customers influence the roadmap so the platform evolves with their needs.

Community means freedom. Enterprise means durability and accountability. Both matter, but they solve different problems. Let us take a closer look at how the two self-hosting licenses compare.

Pricing

The self-hosted enterprise license starts at 30,000 USD per year. This price includes unlimited signing usage. No seats. No hidden limits. Predictable investment for predictable infrastructure.

The goal of self-hosting is not to shave off hosting costs. It is to make a strategic investment in signing control and extensibility that will serve the company for years to come. At large-scale deployments with high volume, the model is cost-efficient, but cost is not the driver. The driver is predictability and capability when building long-term signing infrastructure without being at the whim of a provider.

Who this is for

The Documenso Self-Hosting License is built for enterprise architects and technical leaders. If you are a VP, CTO, or part of tech leadership aligning your company’s signing workflows with long-term strategy, this is for you. If you work in a highly regulated industry where documents cannot leave your infrastructure, or if data sovereignty is your top priority, this is for you. If you are building signing workflows at scale and need predictable infrastructure you can rely on, this is for you.

Why Enterprise Builders Care

Infrastructure you control creates durability in your stack. You have the freedom to integrate and extend with the confidence that your signing systems stay in your control.

Open source is gaining traction as CTOs and architects look for longevity and customizability in the technology they deploy. A self-hosted enterprise license adds predictability and resilience to that strategy. Your signing workflows remain compliant, extendable, and fully under your governance.

What’s next

Today we are opening our enterprise self-host offering for design partners. This is for early adopters who want to self-host and shape the roadmap, beyond the enterprise basics like SSO and custom domains that we already provide.
