DocuSign vs Box Sign

The short answer

If your company already stores its files in Box, Box Sign on a Business plan gives unlimited signature requests from the web app at no extra cost, and that's hard to beat. If you don't use Box, DocuSign is the more complete signing tool at the self-serve level, with bulk send, payments and web forms on Business Pro, where Box keeps batch send and ready-sign links for Enterprise Plus.

DocuSign and Box Sign side by side

Figures come from DocuSign's eSignature pricing and mobile pages and Box's pricing page, Box Sign page, Box Sign feature-by-plan table and batch send article, read on November 9, 2026.

What five people pay

Five users on DocuSign Standard cost $125 a month paid yearly, $1,500 a year, with 100 envelopes per user a year. Five on Box Business cost $75 a month billed annually, $900 a year, with unlimited requests from the web app and unlimited storage. Bulk send costs $200 a month for five on DocuSign Business Pro, or $250 on Box Enterprise Plus.

Box Business Starter is the cheapest option at $25 a month for five, billed annually, but it caps the account at 50 signature requests a month between them.

Where DocuSign is stronger

• Signing features at a lower tier. Bulk send, web forms, signer attachments and payment collection all come with Business Pro; Box spreads them up to Enterprise Plus.
• One user can buy it. DocuSign's paid plans start at one user; Box business plans need three.
• Languages, integrations and notary. DocuSign signs in 44 and more languages, lists over 1,000 integrations and offers remote online notarization through DocuSign Notary.
• A signing app for the sender. DocuSign's free app for iPhone, iPad and Android scans paper with the camera and signs on the spot. Box also counts requests sent through other apps separately, from 100 a year on Business.

Where Box Sign is stronger

• Unlimited requests for less. Box Business includes unlimited web-app signature requests at $15 a user billed annually; DocuSign Standard counts envelopes at $25.
• Your content platform comes with it. Storage, sharing, versioning and admin controls are the main product; signing is included.
• In-person signing on a cheaper plan. Box lists it from Personal Pro, at $10 a month.
• Regulated industries. Box lists 21 CFR Part 11 signatures, FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA compliance support and smart-card sign-in on its Enterprise tiers.

Which to choose, by situation

• A company that already pays for Box Business: use Box Sign before buying anything else.
• A one-person business: DocuSign Personal or Box Personal Pro, depending on whether you also want cloud storage.
• A team that sends one agreement to a list: DocuSign Business Pro gets you bulk send for less than Box Enterprise Plus.
• A business that wants to take the deposit at signing: DocuSign Business Pro.
