Sigil
E-signature without the per-envelope toll.
Useful when replacing: DocuSign, and its $3–8 charge per extra signature
Component · not sold separately
This one has no price.
Sigil is something we build with, not something we sell. It ships inside a sprint, and it's part of why a sprint costs $990 a week instead of a quarter's salary. We'd rather say that plainly than put a number on it and imply a support promise we haven't made.
Need it? It comes with the build. If it ever stands on its own, it'll get a price on the pricing page like everything else.
Inside Sigil
The problem
DocuSign meters a PDF. Plans include roughly 100 envelopes per user per year, and past that you pay $3–8 for each additional one — for sending a document. The extras are worse: around $0.40 per SMS, $2.50 per ID verification attempt, and $1.25–$4.80 per envelope through the API. Prices then rise at renewal, particularly if you missed the volume target you were talked into. It is a toll booth on your own contracts, and the toll goes up the more business you do.
How Sigil solves it
Unlimited envelopes. That's the whole pitch.
Send ten documents or ten thousand for the same price. No allowance, no overage, no per-API-call charge, no counting envelopes at the end of the quarter to see what you owe.
Legally sound where you operate
ESIGN and UETA in the US, eIDAS in the EU, and India's IT Act — with the complete audit trail those standards actually require: signer identity, intent, consent, timestamps, IP, and a tamper-evident hash of the document at signing.
Contracts are not someone else's files
Your executed agreements — the legal record of your business — sit in your own storage, not a vendor's cloud behind an export limit. Templates, sequential and parallel signing, reminders, and bulk send all run on your infrastructure.
It fits your product, not just your inbox
An embeddable signing flow and a real API mean you can put signing inside your own app without paying a per-envelope API premium for the privilege.

Sigil — the questions buyers ask
Who owns the code and IP?
For a Build Sprint, the repository, deployment assets, and work-product IP described in the SOW are handed over to you. Pre-existing products retain the licence shown on their product page; hosted services remain services. We state that boundary before work starts.
What happens if a sprint misses its scope?
We finish it. Fixed price means the risk of estimation is ours, not yours — a missed scope item is completed without a new invoice. Changes you request are re-scoped explicitly, so the line between 'our miss' and 'new ask' stays honest.
How do time zones work with a pod in India?
Every engagement includes 4+ hours of overlap with US or EU working hours. Async by default — written updates, weekly clickable demos — and meetings only when they earn the slot. You'll never chase a status report.
How is our data and code kept secure?
Work happens in your repos and your infrastructure wherever possible — we hold the minimum access needed, revoked at handover. NDAs are standard on request, and everything we self-host for you runs behind your keys, not ours.
How fast can you actually start?
Scoping takes a day; most sprints start within a week of sign-off. Pods are deliberately small and senior, so your start date is confirmed in the sprint plan — not left floating.
Do we need a retainer afterwards?
No — that's the point. A sprint ends with handover docs and training. If you want us to keep maintaining what we built, that's an optional flat monthly add-on you can cancel any month, because the software keeps working without us.
Own Sigil, don't rent it.
See the price, deploy on your infrastructure, keep the code. Or scope a sprint and we'll customise it and hand it over.
