3 alternatives, ranked by a published maintenance score computed from live GitHub signals (fetched 2026-09-04). We flag unmaintained projects on both sides — including DocuSign itself when the data says so.

About DocuSign: Proprietary SaaS; per-envelope pricing gets expensive fast. It is closed-source, so the same public maintenance signals do not exist for it — we score only the alternatives below.
