Envelopes & signing flow
Every send counts against a 100-per-user-per-year cap — whether it's signed, abandoned or a PowerForm submission you didn't initiate.
What people actually say
✕Standard and Business Pro plans cap users at roughly 100 envelopes per year (and 10 per month), and once you exceed the limit DocuSign bills $1-$8 per additional envelope depending on tier.
