I'm a solo sysadmin at a nonprofit trying to find a good e-signature solution suitable for around 10 users, potentially more in the future. Our organization has about 120 people total, but we likely won't need more than 40 licenses at most. I recently found out that DocuSign has eliminated perpetual licenses and is now charging $6,000 a year for just the basic features for 10 users, which seems steep. I'm also considering Adobe Acrobat Pro; however, I have my reservations about Adobe as a company. A few users are already familiar with Acrobat, so switching might not be too difficult, but I'm open to exploring other options as long as they support single sign-on (SSO). I'm also interested in hearing any experiences, good or bad, with these companies or solutions.

SharePoint does have some e-signature capabilities, and you can use certificates from any trusted Certificate Authority to add signatures to your Office documents. It's worth considering if you already use SharePoint for other things.
I know StirlingPDF includes a signature function, but I don't have much info beyond that. Might be worth looking into if you're after something simple!
I get the struggle with Adobe, but I’ll say most companies I’ve worked with use Adobe Sign. There's also Conga, but fair warning, it can be pretty clunky and isn't the most user-friendly out there.
Have you checked out Docuseal? They have a free self-hosted version, although I'm not sure if there are user limitations. If you opt for their cloud subscription, it’s about $20 per month per user, totaling $2,400 a year for ten users.
Hushmail offers forms and signatures, and while they might not be popular, they've been around for a long time. Might be worth a shot if you're looking for something reliable.
