Docusign is the dominant player in the electronic signature industry, with over 1 billion users and more than 1.5 million paying customers globally. [1]

As a result, a growing number of rivals are quickly innovating to capture market share. Below, I highlight the top competitors to DocuSign, examining their key features, target markets, and user adoption metrics.
