Do my clients have to install anything?

No. They receive a personal link by email and sign directly in the browser, including on a smartphone. No account, no app, no printing.

Is a signature like that legally valid?

Yes. Most contracts in everyday business have no form requirement, and electronic signatures are admissible as evidence under the eIDAS Regulation. Every request also generates a tamper-evident audit trail. Where the law requires the statutory written form, the qualified signature (QES) is available.

Can I send documents on the go?

Yes. SmartDocs runs entirely in the browser, on mobile too. Open a template, enter the email address, send: you can do it from your smartphone right after the client meeting.

What happens when my needs grow?

Then you switch to Pro with unlimited requests for €25 per month. The upgrade takes effect immediately, can be canceled monthly, and all templates and documents are kept.

For freelancers and small businesses

Collect signatures like the big players, pay like the small ones

Instead of printing, signing and scanning: you send a signing link, and your customer signs on their phone in two minutes. The Free plan is permanently free, with no payment details at all.

How it works

From quote to signature in minutes

Deals rarely stall over price. They stall on the paper trail: print, sign, scan, send back. SmartDocs cuts it down to a single link.

Signing view for signers: the purchase contract with a completed place and date field and a confirmed signature, next to it the signing dialog with options to draw or type the signature

Open a template

Set up your order confirmation or contract once as a template and reuse it for every new job. The Free plan includes 3 templates.

Send the signing link

SmartDocs sends your customer a personal link by email and reminds them automatically if nothing has happened yet.

Sign on the phone

Your customer signs in the browser, without an account and without an app. You see the status in real time and receive the sealed document.

What this looks like in practice: A wedding vendor sends her booking contract the same evening as the introductory meeting. The couple signs the next morning at the breakfast table, and the date is booked before a competitor has even written a quote.

Typical jobs

Where the signing link replaces paperwork

Services, creative work or small trade jobs: wherever jobs are confirmed in writing, the digital route saves days.

Events and celebrations

Make booking contracts and performance fee agreements binding while the excitement is fresh, not after the third follow-up.

Photo and video

Settle the shoot contract and usage rights in advance, so the shoot day is only about taking pictures.

Consulting and coaching

Get coaching agreements and fee contracts confirmed digitally, even if the first meeting took place by video.

Courses and training

Collect registrations and terms of participation before the course day, without the paper chaos in the seminar room.

Home, garden and repairs

Send the quote and order confirmation right after the site visit. The customer's yes arrives on your phone.

Writing, design and creative work

Settle project contracts and the transfer of usage rights before the work begins.

Price

The Free plan is not a trial. It is a plan.

5 signature requests per month, permanently free
3 reusable templates
Audit trail and completion certificate with every request
No payment details, no minimum term

When your needs grow, the upgrade to Pro takes effect immediately: unlimited requests for €25 per month, cancel monthly. All details on our pricing page.

Legal certainty

Small doesn't mean less legally sound

The signing link feels lightweight, but behind it is the same chain of evidence that large companies rely on.

Solid evidence from the first request

Even on the Free plan, every request creates a tamper-evident audit trail and a completion certificate as a PDF.

Legally valid under eIDAS

Most everyday business contracts have no form requirement. The electronic signature documents the agreement in a way that holds up in court.
