docshark vs DocuSign

A signature tells you it ended. docshark shows you how it got there.

The same signed contract, with the pages they read, the NDA they accepted at the door and a seal anyone can check. Free to start, then one flat price for the whole team.

Free plan. No card.

One deal, kept on one link
  • NDA accepted before page 1

Around the signature

Everything around the signature.

Four things that look after a contract before, while and after it is signed.

01

An NDA before page one.

The document stays covered until they accept or sign your NDA, and the acceptance joins the audit trail.

Hi Adham, the only open point

is the renewal term on page 4.

Everything else is ready to sign.

Reminders written from the contract.

Mako writes the nudge from what is still open, so it reads like you wrote it.

Questions

docshark and DocuSign, straight answers.

Does docshark show which pages were read before signing?

Yes. Every plan, including free, shows each page, the time spent on it, the order and every return visit, on the same link they sign.

How much does a team of 10 pay?

docshark Team is $24.65 a month billed at $295.80 yearly, or $29 monthly, flat. DocuSign Standard listed $30 per user per month billed yearly or $45 monthly when we checked on 14 Sep 2026, so 10 people come to $300 or $450.

Is there a free plan that actually sends?

Yes. The free plan sends 20 documents with 10 signatures a month, read proof, a data room and an exportable audit trail. It never expires and needs no card.

Can the other side check a signed document without an account?

Yes. Every completed document is sealed with a certificate carrying hashes of the final file and its audit log, and anyone can check it on the public verify page.

Can I move my contracts over?

Keep your signed PDFs where they are, then send your next contract on docshark and save the ones you send often as templates. There is nothing to migrate for a signature to count.

Does it work in Arabic?

Yes. The site, the signing pages and Mako work in Arabic, right to left, and so do the Arabic contract templates.
