Ship the contract as fast as you ship code.
Free e-signatures for developers — dev agreements, IP assignment, and contractor terms, no account needed on either end.
The problem
You've scoped the API integration, agreed on the rate, and the client is ready to go — but the contract is stuck because they need to "set up an account" with whatever e-signature tool you used, or you're manually tracking a PDF through three rounds of email attachments. Meanwhile the IP assignment clause that protects your right to reuse boilerplate code across projects still isn't signed.
The Docracy way
Docracy.io skips the account setup entirely. Start from a free Web Development Agreement or Independent Contractor Agreement template, or upload the contract you already use, add signature fields, and send a link. Your client signs from their inbox — no account, no install. It's free for agreements with up to two signers, so most solo dev contracts cost nothing.
