Priced by the envelope, never by the seat
Every incumbent charges per user per month and attaches an envelope allowance to the seat. Here there are no seats: pay for what you send, and the people who sign are never charged on any tier: they have no account to charge.

Prices shown are indicative starting points while the hosted tiers launch. Card checkout is not open yet, so no tier can be bought online today and onboarding is hands-on. The advertised price wins over any estimate, and an allowance is always cheaper than the metered rate it replaces: a price here rounds toward you.
The one thing not priced by the envelope
Stamps, seals and notarisation
Most agreements are executed by the signatures alone. Where a jurisdiction asks for more, the formality is declared on the envelope and evidenced like everything else, and there are two ways to satisfy it.
Arrange it yourself
Free
Take the document to your own notary or registrar and file their reference as the formality’s proof. No desk here touches it and no person here works it, so it costs nothing. It is evidence, and evidence is not what we charge for.
Ask Rutba to arrange it
$5 per request,
plus the provider’s fee at cost
A person works the request on our side and a third party charges for the act itself. Their fee differs across the nineteen regimes we describe, so we quote it before anything is committed and pass it through unmarked. The handling charge is the whole of what we make on it.
The reason the provider’s fee is separate rather than folded in: the incumbents quote one number for a notarisation, which is convenient and makes the margin invisible. Rutba never notarises or affixes anything itself: it arranges, records the reference, and puts it in the evidence where a court can find it.
The fine print, out loud
Where this product stands
Early access. Organizations use Sign today, each on its own instance, and onboarding is hands-on: there is no card checkout yet, so talk to us and we will set you up. Rutba Sign for individuals is built too, as one shared instance where each person sees only their own envelopes, templates and agreements. The whole life of an agreement is built: drafted together in the shared word processor, sent by link, in-app or in person, signed at a table where each person leaves with a receipt countersigned by Rutba, stamped or notarised where the paper needs it (by you with the proof attached, or arranged by Rutba), sealed, then managed and renewed. Two pieces are outstanding and worth knowing before you compare us to anyone: the identity-verification and qualified-certificate partners that European qualified signatures require, and vendor rails behind the formality desk, which a person at Rutba works by hand today. Two things are already decided and worth knowing now. Marks and values are drawn on the pages of the uploaded PDF by the format’s own append-only mechanism, so the original bytes never change and the evidence record, not the picture, is what makes a signature valid. And a customer who stops paying keeps every completed envelope and its evidence, permanently. Verification stays public and free for the same reason.
The full listing, with every app, capability and tier feature, lives in the catalogue at rutba.io/suites/sign, where Sign is also sold inside the Workspace bundle.
Rutba Sign is in early access
Charged when an envelope is sent, not when it completes. Completion, signing and verification never cost anyone anything. Card checkout is not open yet, so onboarding is hands-on.
