Get contracts signed before the client changes their mind.
Free e-signatures for freelancers — scope of work, payment terms, and client agreements, no account needed on either end.
The problem
You send a proposal, the client says yes, and then the deal sits in limbo for three days while they figure out how to open a PDF editor or create yet another account just to sign one page. By the time the contract comes back, the kickoff date has slipped, or worse, they've gone quiet entirely.
The Docracy way
Docracy.io lets you upload the agreement you already have — or start from a free scope-of-work or service agreement template — drop in signature fields, and send a link. Your client opens it, signs, done. No account, no app download, no "create a password to continue."
Features
Free contract templates
Freelance Service Agreement, Scope of Work, and Independent Contractor Agreement templates ready to fill in — no paywall on the basics.
Upload your own contract as-is
Already have a template from a lawyer or a past client? Upload it (PDF or Google Doc) and place fields on it directly — no rebuilding it in someone else's editor.
No account required for clients
They get a link by email, review the terms, and sign. That's the whole flow.
Timestamped audit trail
Every signed contract comes with a record of who signed, when, and from where — useful if a payment dispute ever comes up.
Reusable templates for repeat clients
Save your standard agreement once and send it again for the next gig without rebuilding it — on a paid account.
Use cases
- New client agreement before starting a project
- Locking in scope and payment terms after a scope-creep conversation
- Independent contractor agreement for a longer engagement
- Retainer agreement with a recurring client
- Quick NDA before a discovery call, contract right after
FAQ
How fast can a client actually sign?
Usually under a minute — they open the emailed link, review the terms, and sign. No account or software install required.
Can I reuse the same contract for every new client?
Yes — save your standard agreement as a reusable template (on a paid account) and send it again without rebuilding it each time.
Do I have to use Docracy's templates?
No — upload the contract you already use as a PDF (or paste a Google Docs link) and place signature fields on it directly.
What proof do I have that the client agreed to the terms?
Every contract includes a timestamped audit trail showing exactly when it was sent, opened, and signed.
