Why Non-Profit Teams Need a Better E-Signature Solution
Non-profits operate with tight budgets but still need professional document signing for grant agreements, board resolutions, volunteer documentation, and donor pledges. Per-user pricing from enterprise tools eats directly into program funding.

Why Non-Profit Teams Are Switching Away from Adobe Sign
The most common reasons non-profit teams leave Adobe Sign are limits issues, lock_in frustrations, and compliance_cost problems. Here is what we hear from teams that switched to BoloSign.
150 transaction cap per user per year on team plans
limitsAdobe Sign team plans are capped at 150 transactions per user per year. That is roughly 12 documents per month — if your team sends more, you either pay for overages or upgrade to Enterprise at custom pricing.
Annual billing required — no monthly flexibility
lock inAll Adobe Sign plans require annual commitment. There is no month-to-month option for teams, which means you are locked in for 12 months before you can evaluate if the tool works for your organization.
HIPAA and FERPA compliance only on Enterprise (custom pricing)
compliance costIf your organization handles patient data or student records, you need HIPAA or FERPA compliance. Adobe only offers this on Enterprise plans with custom (undisclosed) pricing — typically 2-3x the listed rates.
AI Assistant is an extra $4.99/user/month add-on
add onsAdobe's AI features for document assistance are not included in any plan. They cost an additional $4.99 per user per month on top of your existing subscription.
Complex tiering makes it hard to know what you actually need
complexityAdobe offers Standard, Pro, Standard for Teams, Pro for Teams, Studio, and Enterprise — each with different features, transaction limits, and pricing. It takes significant research just to figure out which plan matches your needs.
