DocHub is convenient in Google. Signers still feel the account gravity.
Docracy keeps recipients account-free for short signing chains.
The problem
DocHub works well for Google-centric editing and signing, but account and plan limits show up quickly for recurring client contracts outside that bubble.
The Docracy way
Docracy skips Google-account assumptions: email/SMS/WhatsApp delivery, no account for ≤2-signer docs, flat $10/mo paid.
How Docracy compares
- No Google account required for either side — works the same outside the Google ecosystem
- Free for up to 2 signers — no account for sender or signer
- Flat $10/month paid plan — not per seat
- WhatsApp signing links — DocHub doesn't offer this; Docracy includes 1 free/month
- AI-assisted field placement on paid accounts
- Sequential or parallel signing built in
- Honest limit: not for ID-verified enterprise / QES workflows
FAQ
Why switch from DocHub to Docracy?
Docracy is free for up to 2 signers with no account required for recipients, and a flat $10/mo paid plan instead of per-seat pricing. Upload any PDF as-is — no proprietary template rebuild.
Do signers need an account?
No. They open the link and sign — no login, no app download.
Can I import PDFs I already use in DocHub?
Yes. Export the PDF from DocHub, upload it to Docracy, and place (or auto-detect) signature fields. See the /import-from-* guides for step-by-step export tips.
