Stop Paying DocuSign (If You Already Use Google Workspace)
Why pay twice for the same thing? eSignature is now native in Google Docs and has full legal validity.

The subscription economy is treacherous. You subscribe to $10 here, $15 there, and by year-end your software cost per employee is $500/month.
One of the biggest redundancies we see is paying for electronic signature software (like DocuSign or ClickSign) when you already have Google Workspace Enterprise. It's like renting a car while one sits in your garage.
Native beats integrated
Google launched eSignature natively in Docs and Drive. It's not an "integration" where you click and get sent to another site. It's a native feature of the text editor.
Contract lives in your Drive, with native versioning, comments and history.
"Signature" and "Date" in the right position — no intermediate PDF.
Client receives by email, signs on mobile, final PDF goes back to both Drives. Zero friction.
No exporting to PDF. No uploading to another platform. No creating a new account. A flow that cost $15/user/month is now "zero marginal cost".
What about legal validity?
Full. The system has:
- Complete audit trail.
- IP capture and timestamp.
- Document non-alteration certification (hash).
- Compliance with MP 2.200-2/2001 (ICP-Brasil for advanced signature; simple electronic for commercial).
For 99% of commercial contracts — proposals, NDAs, service agreements, acceptance terms, purchase orders — it is legally airtight in Brazil.
How much are you paying for software already built into Workspace?
2-week audit: maps redundancies (eSignature, storage, video conferencing, corporate search) and calculates annual savings. Average payback: 3 weeks.
