Joost de Valk replaced DocuSign ($25/month for low contract volume at Emilia Capital) with self-hosted Documenso, which he found near feature-complete after a ~30-minute setup; only real gap was initials fields. joost.blog
(older account, pre-1.0 era) A Cloudron forum user tested Documenso v0.9, the first production release: it worked but was extremely basic (date and signature fields only), so they waited rather than adopting. Cloudron Forum
In the Cloudron thread comparing open-source DocuSign alternatives, one user found Documenso's GUI more promising but its feature set too small, tried DocuSeal instead, and settled on a paid DocuSeal subscription. Cloudron Forum
