The Easiest Way to Sign Documents
Send, sign, and track documents with BoloSign
Why Are Event Management Teams Leaving DocuSign in 2026?
The #1 reason event management teams switch from DocuSign is cost. DocuSign charges per user AND per envelope, which means your bill grows every time you add a team member or send more documents. For a growing event management team, this pricing model becomes unsustainable fast.
Per-user pricing makes every new hire a budget line item
cost problemDocuSign charges $25-50 per user per month. When your event management team grows from 5 to 10 people, your e-signature bill doubles — even if the new hires only sign occasionally. With BoloSign, you pay $49/month total regardless of whether you have 5 users or 50. Every team member gets full access. No per-seat math. No budget approvals for adding a user.
Envelope limits punish your busiest months
limit frustrationDocuSign plans include a limited number of envelopes. When your event management team has a busy period — tax season, lease renewals, new hire wave — you burn through envelopes and either pay overage fees or upgrade to a more expensive plan. BoloSign has no envelope limits on any plan. Send 10 or 10,000 documents per month for the same $49.
Essential features are locked behind expensive add-ons
nickel dimingFeatures that event management teams actually need — bulk send, SMS delivery, custom branding, advanced fields — are add-ons on DocuSign that cost $30-60/month each. On BoloSign, bulk send, SMS signing, email branding, Google Sheets integration, CRM integrations, Stripe payments, and form analytics are all included in the $49/month Team plan. No surprises.
Complex interface wastes your team's time
complexityDocuSign's enterprise-grade interface was built for Fortune 500 legal departments, not event management teams. Features are buried in menus, template setup requires multiple clicks, and new team members need training sessions. BoloSign is designed for small-to-medium teams — upload a PDF, place signature fields, hit send. Most teams are productive within 5 minutes.
No built-in Google Sheets, CRM, or payment integration
missing featuresDocuSign doesn't natively integrate with Google Sheets for document tracking, doesn't include CRM integrations with HubSpot or Pipedrive on standard plans, and doesn't support collecting payments alongside signatures. BoloSign includes all three — Google Sheets auto-tracking, HubSpot/Pipedrive/GoHighLevel integrations, and Stripe payment collection — at no additional cost.
DocuSign vs BoloSign for Event Management: Feature-by-Feature Comparison
BoloSign matches DocuSign on every core feature event management teams need — templates, signing order, audit trails, mobile signing, and team management. But BoloSign includes features that DocuSign charges extra for, at a flat $49/month with no per-user or per-envelope fees.
Templates: identical functionality, unlimited on BoloSign
Both platforms let you create reusable templates for vendor contracts, liability waivers, sponsorship agreements, venue rental agreements. The difference: DocuSign limits templates on lower plans and charges for additional template storage. BoloSign includes unlimited templates on the $49/month Team plan — create as many as your event management team needs.
Audit trails: equally legally binding on both platforms
Both BoloSign and DocuSign generate tamper-proof audit trails with timestamps, IP addresses, and signer authentication records. Both are legally binding under the ESIGN Act, UETA, GDPR, and eIDAS. Both are admissible as evidence in court. BoloSign also holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications — the same standards DocuSign meets.
Signing order: same routing capability, simpler setup on BoloSign
Both platforms support sequential and parallel signing order for event management documents. DocuSign's signing order setup involves multiple screens and configuration steps. BoloSign's setup is a simple drag-and-drop interface — assign signers, set the order, done in under 30 seconds.
Integrations: BoloSign includes what DocuSign charges extra for
BoloSign natively integrates with Google Sheets (auto-tracking), Google Drive (auto-save), HubSpot, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel, Stripe (payments), WordPress, Gmail, Dropbox, and OneDrive — all included at $49/month. DocuSign's comparable integrations require Business Pro or Enterprise plans starting at $40+/user/month, plus separate integration purchases.
Mobile experience: both work on any device, BoloSign has native apps
Both platforms support mobile signing — recipients sign from any smartphone or tablet via a link. Both offer native iOS and Android apps for senders. BoloSign additionally supports QR code signing links and a Gmail extension for sending directly from email, both included at no extra cost.

Pro Tips
Expert advice for Event Management
Before switching, export a list of your most-used DocuSign templates — BoloSign's migration tool will import them automatically, but having a checklist ensures nothing is missed during the 1-click transfer.
Run BoloSign in parallel with DocuSign for 1-2 weeks before canceling DocuSign — send new event management documents from BoloSign while existing DocuSign documents complete their signing cycles.
After migration, connect BoloSign to Google Sheets immediately — you will get a free real-time document tracking dashboard that DocuSign never offered, and it takes 2 clicks to set up.
Have your team send 2-3 test documents on day one to build confidence — the interface is intuitive enough that most event management professionals are productive within 5 minutes without any training.
Calculate your actual DocuSign cost including add-ons (bulk send, SMS, branding, API access) — most teams discover they are paying 2-3x more than they realized when all the extras are added up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about e-signatures in Event Management
What Our Customers Say
“We produce 40+ corporate events per year and each one involves 15-20 vendor contracts. Before BoloSign, we were manually emailing PDFs and chasing signatures for weeks. Now I upload all vendor details in a CSV, Bulk Send personalized contracts, and track who has signed from one dashboard. For our biggest event last month — 32 vendors — every contract was signed within 4 days. The Google Sheets tracking dashboard alone saved us 10+ hours.”
Jennifer W.
Corporate Event Director, Chicago, IL
“Collecting liability waivers from 5,000+ festival attendees used to mean tablets at the gate and massive lines. We put a BoloSign QR code on every ticket confirmation email. By the time gates opened, 78% of attendees had already signed digitally. No lines. No tablets. No staff dedicated to waiver collection. We went from 6 waiver stations to zero.”
Marcus D.
Music Festival Producer, Nashville, TN
“I manage 25-30 weddings per year and each wedding has 8-12 vendor contracts. BoloSign's templates save me so much time — I have a template for every vendor type (florist, DJ, photographer, caterer) and I just swap in the details. The branded signing experience with my company logo makes everything look professional. Couples and vendors both comment on how smooth the process is. At $49/month for unlimited everything, it is a fraction of what I was paying before.”
