What is a good DocuSign alternative for pediatric and therapy practices?
Last updated . For pediatric, speech, occupational and physical therapy practices comparing e-signature tools.
GetDocsSigned is a DocuSign alternative for the paperwork pediatric and therapy practices handle every week: intake, referral, consent and onboarding forms, plus e-signatures, at one price per account with unlimited users. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month, and the Healthcare plan with a signed BAA for patient forms is from $199 a month per practice. DocuSign prices its Standard and Business Pro plans per user, and it lists integrations and security certifications that GetDocsSigned does not have.
How does GetDocsSigned compare with DocuSign?
The biggest difference is how the price grows. GetDocsSigned charges per account with unlimited users; DocuSign's Standard and Business Pro plans charge per user. DocuSign has more integrations, more signing languages and third-party security certifications, and those rows are in the table too.

What paperwork can a pediatric or therapy practice move over?
Most of a practice's paperwork is forms, not contracts. GetDocsSigned handles forms, signatures and the records they file into, so the same account covers all four of these.
Intake packets
Parents get one link, fill out the forms on a phone and sign. No app or account is needed, and the completed form and its signed PDF land in your records.
Referral and consent forms
Upload the blank PDF and the AI form builder turns it into an online form with signature, date and file-upload fields that you can edit before you publish it.
Staff onboarding paperwork
New-hire forms, signed documents and uploaded licenses are filed into a records folder per person, with a checklist that shows what is still missing.
Documents that only need a signature
Upload a PDF, place the signature fields and send it. Signers sign on any device, and every signed document comes back with an audit certificate.
Questions practices ask about switching
Is GetDocsSigned cheaper than DocuSign for a therapy practice?
For a team it usually is, because GetDocsSigned charges per account with unlimited users and DocuSign Standard is $30 per user a month billed annually. Five staff on DocuSign Standard is $150 a month; GetDocsSigned Professional is $49.99 a month for any number of staff. Compare volume too: Professional includes 20 envelopes a month, and five Standard users share 500 a year.
Can parents fill out and sign intake forms on a phone?
Yes. They open a link on their phone, fill out the forms and sign. No app or account is needed.
Can we use our existing intake, referral and consent forms?
Yes. Upload the blank PDFs and the AI form builder converts them into online forms that you can edit. Only upload blank forms, never completed ones.
Does GetDocsSigned sign a BAA?
Only on the Healthcare plan. Healthcare accounts start at $199 a month per practice, with unlimited staff users. That includes the BAA and setting up your forms from your blank PDFs. Practices with several locations get a quote. Regular and free accounts are not covered and must not be used for patient information.
Are e-signature envelopes covered by the BAA?
No. Signature and initials fields inside healthcare forms are covered. Separate e-signature envelopes and document packets are not, so don't send patient information through them.
Are GetDocsSigned signatures legally binding?
Yes. GetDocsSigned signatures are compliant with the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA. Every signed document includes a tamper-evident certificate and full audit trail.
When is DocuSign the better choice?
When you need a BAA that covers e-signature envelopes, ready-made integrations with tools like Salesforce, signing in more than two languages, or a vendor with SOC 2 and ISO 27001. GetDocsSigned has none of those today.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. There is a permanently free plan and it needs no credit card. It is not covered by a BAA, so keep patient information out of it.
Try it on one of your forms
Free to start, no credit card. Paid plans from $9.99 a month, with unlimited users on every plan.
Please don't put patient information in a regular or free account. For patient forms, ask about the Healthcare plan and its BAA.
