DataCube GTM memo — Vertical 1 (E-Signature) and Vertical 2 (CLM)

Scope. Zapier-listed e-signature (26) and CLM (7) vendors. Zap counts are Zapier’s published zap_usage_count as of the catalog pull in this workspace. Signaturely was listed as “(find)” in the brief; catalog value is 12.

Thesis for this pair of verticals. The product is the later-disputed record: who signed, what they signed, when, from where, and under what identity check. Every vendor below already mints a vendor-attested Certificate of Completion / audit trail. That trail is useful until a counterparty, regulator, or insurer asks whether the vendor could have rewritten it. Independent sealing at send, view, each signature, decline, void, and amendment is the wedge.

Method. Public sites, filings, vendor blogs, Zapier app pages, and press. Numbers not independently published are marked Unknown. Do not treat third-party price estimates as list prices unless labeled.

Zapier listing URLs follow https://zapier.com/apps/{slug}/integrations.

Vertical 1 — E-Signature (26)

1. Docusign

  • Vendor name: Docusign (legal: Docusign, Inc.; product family includes eSignature and IAM / Intelligent Agreement Management)
  • Parent / owner: Independent public company
  • Website: https://www.docusign.com/
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/docusign/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 4,656
  • USP: Category-defining envelope + Certificate of Completion stack, now being repositioned as an agreement-lifecycle / IAM platform (workspaces, workflow builder, agreement manager) rather than “just e-sign.” Court-tested brand; deepest Connect event surface on Zapier.
  • ICP: Mid-market and enterprise legal, sales, HR, and procurement; also a large long-tail of SMBs who inherited Docusign as the default. Strongest in US regulated industries that already write “Docusign or equivalent” into policy.
  • HQ / founding / funding: San Francisco, CA. Founded 2003 (Tom Gonser, Court Lorenzini, Eric Ranft). Nasdaq: DOCU (IPO April 2018). Pre-IPO venture capital commonly cited around $520M across many rounds. Public status supersedes private valuation.
  • Pricing posture: Dual. Self-serve eSignature Personal ~$10/user/mo annual / $15 monthly (5 envelopes/mo). Standard ~$25/user/mo annual / $45 monthly. Business Pro ~$40–$50/user/mo annual / ~$65 monthly. Team plans typically 100 envelopes per user per year (or ~10/mo on monthly). Enterprise / IAM is sales-led and custom. Envelope caps are the main complaint versus cheaper unlimited-send rivals.
  • Proof / evidence angle: The envelope and Certificate of Completion (who signed, timestamps, IP, authentication method, document hash as attested by Docusign). Disputes: “that is not what I signed,” identity-spoofing, post-completion alteration, void/correct history, delegated signer, failed KBA/IDV, QES identity-verification failures. IAM adds a second disputed object: the agreement record / workspace version, not just the signed PDF.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Very large surface. Triggers include Envelope Created/Sent/Delivered/Completed/Declined/Voided/Corrected/Deleted/Purged, recipient-level completed/declined/auth-failed, clickwrap agreed/declined, template CRUD, IDV completed/pending, plus IAM-only Agreement / Workspace / Workflow events. Actions: send envelope from document or template, draft, void, bulk send, download documents, webform links, IAM workspace/workflow ops.
  • Usually compared to: Adobe Acrobat Sign, Dropbox Sign, PandaDoc, SignNow, BoldSign, Ironclad (on the CLM/IAM side), Conga.

2. SignNow (airSlate SignNow)

  • Vendor name: SignNow (marketed as airSlate SignNow)
  • Parent / owner: airSlate, Inc. (also owns pdfFiller / document-automation hub). SignNow history: founded independently 2011 → Barracuda Networks (2013) → sold to PDFfiller (2017) → airSlate family.
  • Website: https://www.signnow.com/
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/signnow/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 1,035
  • USP: High-feature e-sign (templates, document groups, payments, field extraction) sold as a cheaper Docusign alternative, bundled into airSlate’s no-code document-workflow suite.
  • ICP: SMBs and mid-market ops/sales/HR that want Docusign-like features without Docusign pricing; agencies and high-volume senders. airSlate claims a large consumer/SMB install base (“millions of users” — treat as marketing).
  • HQ / founding / funding: airSlate HQ Brookline, MA (17 Station St). SignNow founded 2011 (Chris Hawkins & Andrew Ellis; originally associated with Newport Beach, CA). airSlate private; notable rounds include ~$40M (Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital / General Catalyst, 2021) and $51.5M (G Squared / UiPath, 2022) with a reported $1.25B valuation in 2022. Total equity commonly cited ~$90M+.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap-to-mid. Public list (annual): Business $8/user/mo, Business Premium $15, Enterprise $30 (monthly list higher: ~$20 / $30 / $50). Site license ~$1.50 per signature invite. API has a free invite allotment then paid.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Completed document + document history (Zapier can return PDF, history, and ZIP). Disputes: invite cancellation vs. completion, document-group vs. single-doc execution, payment-tied signing, deleted-document history.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Document Completed, Document Group Completed, Document Deleted/Updated, New Document. Actions: upload, extract fields, invite to sign, create from template (free-form or role-based), document groups, generate from DOCX merge tags, cancel invites.
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Dropbox Sign, PandaDoc, BoldSign, SignWell.

3. eSignatures (esignatures.io)

  • Vendor name: eSignatures / eSignatures.io (also marketed via esignatures.com)
  • Parent / owner: Independent (no public acquisition found)
  • Website: https://esignatures.io (also https://esignatures.com/)
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/esignatures/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 695
  • USP: Usage-priced, mobile-first contract sender for automators: $0.49 per contract sent, no monthly seat fee. Built for API / Zapier template-to-signer flows rather than a heavy UI.
  • ICP: Agencies, coaches, SaaS builders, and ops people who fire contracts from Airtable/CRM/forms and hate per-seat e-sign bills. Most clients reportedly US; company is Australian.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Public site: “collecting signatures since 2015.” Funding: Unknown (appears bootstrapped).
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve, cheapest unit economics on this list. Flat $0.49 per sent contract (any number of signers/pages). Optional SMS and live photo ID verification at extra flat fees. No subscription.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Signed mobile-friendly contract + per-signer events. Disputes: what template/version was merged, SMS vs. email delivery failure, photo-ID verification vs. simple click-sign, “auto sign” test mode leaking into production (Zapier exposes an Auto Sign flag).
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Contract Sent to a Signer, Signature Received, Contract Signed (all parties), Delivery Failed. Action: Create Contract from template (up to 5 signers, placeholders, metadata, draft mode).
  • Usually compared to: SignWell, BoldSign, Dropbox Sign, Docusign (on price), other pay-as-you-go APIs (e.g. Signbee).

4. SignRequest

  • Vendor name: SignRequest
  • Parent / owner: Box, Inc. (Nasdaq: BOX). Acquired February 2021 for $55M. Product lineage also feeds Box Sign. SignRequest.com still operates as a brand/join-Box path.
  • Website: https://signrequest.com
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/signrequest/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 568
  • USP: Originally the European “e-sign without enterprise pricing” tool; now a Box content-cloud signing motion (files already in Box get signed in place).
  • ICP: Historically EU SMBs and cost-sensitive teams; post-acquisition, Box customers who want signing inside content collaboration rather than a standalone e-sign stack.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Founded 2014, Netherlands. Box HQ is Redwood City, CA. Independent funding history is now moot; deal value $55M.
  • Pricing posture: Historically self-serve cheap. Current commercial packaging is mixed: leftover SignRequest plans plus Box Sign / Box enterprise SKUs. Treat standalone SignRequest list price as Unknown / in flux; Box Sign is typically bundled into Box seats.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Signed SignRequest + signed/declined events. Disputes: which file version in Box was the executed copy, signer-language / forced-language settings, mobile-number verification, template prefill vs. what the signer saw.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: New Document Signed, New Document Declined, New Document Received. Actions: Send SignRequest (file or URL), Send from Template (signer language, approve-only, mobile verify, tags prefill).
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Dropbox Sign, Box Sign vs. Microsoft/SharePoint signing, SignWell.

5. SignWell

  • Parent / owner: Independent, private
  • Website: https://www.signwell.com/
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/signwell/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 471
  • USP: Zero-setup, fast UX positioned explicitly as a cheaper Docusign/Adobe/Dropbox Sign alternative, with a usable free tier and a developer API for embed.
  • ICP: Solo professionals, SMBs, and product teams embedding signing. Not chasing Fortune-50 legal.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Portland, OR. Founded 2019. PitchBook lists a small accelerator/incubator round; material VC raise Unknown / appears lightly funded. Employees cited in the low tens.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap. Free (low monthly doc cap, commonly 3 docs/mo). Light ~$12/user/mo monthly (lower on annual). Business ~$36/mo monthly / ~$24–$30 annual depending on published snapshot. Enterprise custom + API.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Completed document + first-view event. Disputes: viewed-but-not-signed timing, API test-mode vs. production, template vs. ad-hoc document, “40% faster” marketing vs. actual completion integrity.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Document Completed, Document Sent, Document Viewed. Action: Create Document From Template (API; limits if not on an API plan).
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Dropbox Sign, BoldSign, Signaturely.

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/zoho-sign/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 319
  • USP: Legally binding e-sign native to the Zoho suite (CRM, Forms, Writer, People) at a price that undercuts every US incumbent. Credit-based sending on lower tiers.
  • ICP: Existing Zoho customers first; price-sensitive SMBs and international teams second. India and global SMB are the gravity well.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Zoho HQ Chennai, India; US HQ Austin, TX. Zoho Sign launched July 2017. Zoho is famously bootstrapped / no traditional VC.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap. Free: 5 docs/mo. Annual list: Standard $10, Professional $16, Enterprise $22 per user/month. API commonly $0.50 per signature request. Credits apply on some plans.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Envelope/request + certificate of completion + signer form data. Disputes: credit/watermark “testing” envelopes vs. production (Zapier has a dedicated test-send action), recalled vs. expired vs. declined, which Zoho app originated the document.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Document Signed (a recipient), Document Completed, Declined, Expired, Recalled. Actions: Send Template, test send, get files/form data/details.
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, SignNow, BoldSign, other Zoho-bundled vs. best-of-breed.

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/dropbox-sign/integrations

  • USP: Cleanest SMB e-sign UX of the 2010s, now sold as signing inside the Dropbox content graph (unlimited requests on paid seats; files land next to the working folder).

  • HQ / founding / funding: HelloSign founded 2010, San Francisco (YC W11). Dropbox HQ San Francisco. Deal $230M.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve mid. Free: 3 signature requests/mo. Essentials $15/mo (1 user, unlimited requests). Standard $25/user/mo. Premium/Enterprise custom. API plans sold separately; Zapier notes paid API plan required for non-test_mode webhooks.

  • Website: https://boldsign.com/
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/boldsign/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 198
  • USP: Syncfusion’s e-sign product: transparent unlimited-envelope seats and a serious API, sold as the affordable Docusign alternative from a 25-year-old controls company (not a 2019 rollup).
  • ICP: SMBs, ISVs embedding e-sign, and teams already in the Syncfusion ecosystem. Developers more than CLM buyers.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Syncfusion HQ Morrisville, NC. BoldSign product announced/launched around 2022 (parent founded much earlier; Syncfusion cites 25+ years). Private, no separate BoldSign raise disclosed.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap. Free tier (commonly ~25 requests/mo, 1 user). Growth from about $5/user/mo. Business ~$15/user/mo unlimited envelopes. Premium ~$99/mo account cap (e.g. 250 envelopes). API from ~$0.75/envelope or ~$25/user unlimited API. Confirm current SKU on site — they iterate often.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Completed / declined / sent document events. Disputes: sandbox vs. live (Zapier has Sandbox Mode), admin-mode visibility into others’ envelopes, what “unlimited” meant on the SKU in force at signing time.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Document Completed, Declined, Sent. Action: Send Document From Template.
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Dropbox Sign, SignWell, Zoho Sign, DocuSeal.

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/docuseal/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 164
  • USP: AGPLv3 open-source e-sign you can self-host (data never leaves your VPC) or run as cheap cloud. The only vendor on this list whose customers can own the signing stack.
  • ICP: Developers, agencies, privacy/GDPR-sensitive EU buyers (DocuSeal.eu in Dublin), and teams allergic to Docusign bills. Not a GC-led enterprise CLM buy.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Chicago, IL (332 S Michigan Ave suite address). Founded 2023. Funding: Unknown (appears bootstrapped).
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap + free OSS. Cloud Basic $0. Pro $20/user/mo (or ~$200/yr). Self-host core is free; Pro unlocks extras. API completions commonly $0.20/doc.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Submission completed by all parties; per-signer form completion. Self-host customers already control the database — they still lack an independent third-party seal. Disputes: which instance signed it (cloud US vs. EU vs. on-prem), flattened PDF / removed tags, SMS 2FA vs. email 2FA, expired submissions.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Signing Form Completed, Submission Completed. Actions: Create Signature Request (template / PDF / HTML / DOCX), Update Signer (re-send, 2FA, values).

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/getaccept/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 147
  • USP: Not a pure e-sign tool — a digital sales room + proposal + CPQ-ish closer that happens to collect a legally binding signature at the end, with engagement analytics (viewed, reviewed, commented).
  • ICP: B2B sales / RevOps mid-market, especially Salesforce/HubSpot shops. Nordic origin, US go-to-market.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Founded 2015 (YC W16; YC lists 2016). Origins Malmö, Sweden; also San Francisco. Funding >$30M (Bessemer-led Series B $20M in 2020; also YC, DN Capital, Amino).
  • Pricing posture: Mid-market sales-assist. Third-party/AppExchange snapshots: e-sign-only historically ~$25/user/mo; DSR/Professional often cited $49–$79/user/mo annual; Enterprise custom. Treat current list as sales-led.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Dual record: (1) sales-room engagement (who viewed which pricing page) and (2) signed proposal. Disputes: which version of the proposal was signed after comments, expiration updates after send, “Seal Document” on a draft (Zapier action), CRM value vs. signed value.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: New / Sent / Viewed / Reviewed / Commented / Rejected / Signed. Actions: Create Document, Create from Template, Seal Document, Archive to contract module, download, update expiration.

  • Website: https://eversign.com/ (Xodo Sign still lives on the eversign domain)
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/xodosign/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 146
  • USP: Fixed-price unlimited sending plus a PDF-vendor parent (Apryse) that already sits inside many enterprise document pipelines. SMS auth and embeddable signing.
  • ICP: SMBs wanting unlimited envelopes; ISVs already on Apryse/Xodo; teams replacing eversign.
  • HQ / founding / funding: eversign founded 2015. LinkedIn lists Xodo Sign HQ Denver, CO; Apryse is a global document-tech company. Independent funding moot post-acquisition. Deal value: Unknown.
  • Pricing posture: Self-serve cheap. Free: 3 docs/mo. Basic ~$10/user/mo annual / $20 monthly. Professional ~$16 annual / $32 monthly. API Light from ~$50–$100/mo. Enterprise custom. No per-envelope fees on core plans.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Completed document + downloadable audit trail (Zapier “include audit trail”). Disputes: 15-minute polling delay on Zapier (completion time vs. webhook time), sandbox templates, SMS auth credits vs. actually authenticated signer.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Document Completed, Document Sent (15-min poll). Actions: Use Template, Create Contact. Search: Find and Download Document (hash from completed trigger).

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/adobe-acrobat-sign/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 99
  • USP: E-sign baked into Acrobat / Document Cloud and the Adobe enterprise admin console, with deep Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow connectors and industry compliance SKUs. The “we already own Acrobat” default.
  • ICP: Enterprises standardized on Adobe; IT-led buys; government and regulated industries that want Acrobat + Sign under one MSA. Weak Zap usage relative to brand — native enterprise integrations steal Zapier volume.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Adobe HQ San Jose, CA. EchoSign released January 2006; acquired 2011. Adobe is a large public company.
  • Pricing posture: Acrobat team plans include uncapped e-sign on some SKUs (public Acrobat team pricing often ~$15–$30/user/mo depending on Standard/Pro). Acrobat Sign Solutions (Business/Enterprise) is sales-led custom. Individual Acrobat Pro includes limited signing.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Agreement + audit-trail PDF (first-class Zapier action). Disputes: library-template vs. uploaded file, participant authentication method, recalled/expired/rejected state, “signed by a participant” vs. “workflow completed,” sandbox for enterprise.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: Agreement Created, Signed by a Participant, Signed by All, Email Viewed, Expired, Recalled, Rejected, Reminder Sent, State Changed, any event. Actions: create agreement from upload or library template, upload to get document ID, emit signed PDF, emit audit-trail PDF. Searches: status, form fields JSON, signing URL.
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Dropbox Sign, DocuSign IAM, Microsoft/SharePoint e-sign, Foxit.

  • Website: https://oneflow.com/
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/oneflow/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 92
  • USP: End-to-end digital contract (not a bolted-on PDF sign): contracts as structured data with products, participants, and status — Nordic CLM-lite sold from sales/HR outward.
  • ICP: Nordic and European mid-market sales, HR, and procurement teams; HubSpot/Pipedrive-heavy. Less US enterprise legal.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Stockholm, Sweden. Founded 2012 (Anders Hamnes). Listed Nasdaq First North Premier (ticker ONEF) in 2022. Pre-IPO venture commonly cited ~$6–7M (Spintop et al.).
  • Pricing posture: Mid-market, sales-led with published floors. Entry often 5-seat minimum from about €250/mo (~$58/user/mo on one public page). Higher Business/Enterprise custom. Not a $10 self-serve tool.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Contract status change (the system of record for “signed”) plus downloadable PDF. Disputes: product-table / price fields vs. signed PDF, who was added as participant after send, deleted contracts, attachment vs. expanded PDF.

  • Website: https://www.signaturit.com
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/signaturit/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 61
  • USP: Southern-European eIDAS specialist: SES / AES / QES, certified email, identity/KYC, qualified archiving — not just a drawn signature on a PDF.
  • ICP: Spanish, French, Italian enterprises and public-sector-adjacent buyers who need AES/QES and certified delivery. Legal/compliance more than US SMB.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Barcelona, Spain. Founded 2013. PSG investment 2020; Namirial combination 2025/26. Standalone funding total: Unknown (PE-backed).
  • Pricing posture: Mid to enterprise, Europe-priced. Public add-ons: AES €2.50/signature; QES packs from roughly €10–€15 per qualified signature depending on volume. Base Business/Business+ seats: confirm on site (sales-assisted).
  • Proof / evidence angle: Signed document and the eIDAS signature level (SES vs AES vs QES) plus certified email. Disputes: whether the signature was actually QES, identity-proofing evidence, certified-email delivery vs. ordinary email, which legal entity (Signaturit vs. Namirial QTSP) issued the certificate.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Trigger: New Signed Document. Actions: Create Signature Request (files or template), reminder, cancel, Create a Certified Email.

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/signable/integrations

  • HQ / founding / funding: Bristol, England (3 Unity Street). Founded 2011 by Olly Culverhouse. Funding: Unknown (appears bootstrapped).

  • Website: https://rightsignature.com → consolidates to https://www.sharefile.com/rightsignature
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/rightsignature/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 46
  • USP: E-sign for accountants, advisors, legal, and construction already living in ShareFile client portals — KBA available on Premium. The record lives next to the client file share, not in a pure e-sign silo.
  • ICP: ShareFile verticals: CPA firms, professional services, healthcare, financial services, construction. Not a net-new e-sign bake-off winner.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Founding year of RightSignature: Unknown (pre-2014 Santa Barbara-era startup). Progress HQ Burlington, MA. ShareFile originated Raleigh. Deal $875M for ShareFile (~$240M revenue, 86k customers at announce).
  • Pricing posture: Bundled enterprise/SMB ShareFile. ShareFile states e-sign is on Premium (KBA included). Historical standalone RightSignature pricing is obsolete. Expect ShareFile seat bundles, not $10 e-sign.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Completed / expired / sent document in a client-share context. Disputes: which ShareFile version was executed, in-person vs. email signer, KBA success/failure, tenant migration across Citrix → CSG → Progress.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: New Document Completed, Expired, Sent. Action: Send Template. Popular pairs include ShareFile, MyCase, PracticePanther — legal/accounting gravity.
  • Usually compared to: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Dropbox Sign, other portal-bundled e-sign (Clio, etc.).

  • Website: https://www.useanvil.com
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/anvil/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 37
  • USP: Paperwork automation platform: webforms → PDF fill/generation → Etch e-sign, sold as an API to product/ops teams (fintech onboarding, healthcare packets), not as a human-sends-an-envelope app.
  • ICP: Developers and operators in fintech, healthcare, insurance, and HR onboarding who need repeatable packets. SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA/BAA called out on site.

  • Pricing posture: Enterprise, sales-only. No meaningful self-serve list price. Implementation is a project.
  • Proof / evidence angle: The disputed objects are workflow events, approvals, and repository records — not just the signed PDF. “When was this approved, by whom, on which playbook version, and is this the executed copy?” Counterparties dispute clause versions and approval authority more than ink.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: Triggers: New Workflow Event, New Workflow Document Event, New Approval Event. Actions: Launch Workflow, Update Workflow, Update Approval, Create/Update/Delete Record, comment. Searches: Find Record / Workflow. Requires broad OAuth scopes.

31. Outlaw

  • Vendor name: Outlaw
  • Parent / owner: Filevine, Inc. since 11 May 2021. Still sold as a standalone CLM at getoutlaw.com. (Not NetDocuments — that claim circulating on some directories is incorrect.)

  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/outlaw/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 7
  • USP: Collaborative, templated contract workspace (generation → negotiate → sign) now in Filevine’s legal-ops constellation next to Vinesign and Files.
  • ICP: Originally tech/legal teams wanting modern CLM without Ironclad; post-acquisition, Filevine law-firm and legal-ops accounts plus leftover standalone customers.

  • Website: https://www.evisort.com
  • Zapier listing: https://zapier.com/apps/evisort/integrations
  • Zap usage count: 1
  • USP: AI document intelligence first, CLM second — ingest a warehouse of PDFs, extract clauses/metadata, then govern. Workday is folding that into finance + HCM (people and money contracts).
  • ICP: Enterprise legal/procurement/finance with large legacy contract corpora; now Workday-centric enterprises. Almost no Zapier footprint (native Workday/enterprise connectors will dominate).
  • HQ / founding / funding: San Francisco, CA. Founded 2016 (Jerry Ting). >$150M venture raised pre-exit. Workday paid $311M.
  • Pricing posture: Enterprise, sales-only (now a Workday SKU conversation). Pre-acquisition revenue run-rate was estimated by analysts around ~$30M — unofficial.
  • Proof / evidence angle: Not “who signed this envelope” — what the AI says the contract means (term, termination, liability, parties). Disputes: extraction error, which uploaded file is canonical, OCR vs. native, deleted document. Zapier has no completion trigger; it is upload/search/get.
  • Notable Zapier triggers / actions: No triggers. Actions: Upload Document, Search/List Documents, Get detail/content, Delete Document.

  • ICP: UK/EU/US mid-market finance, procurement, and legal ops who care about third-party risk and renewals more than clause AI. Unlimited users; metered on third parties / historically on contract counts.
  • HQ / founding / funding: Founded 2010 by Patrick O’Connor. Tracxn lists London; CEO associated with Jersey, UK. No outside VC in public profiles (bootstrapped).
  • Pricing posture: Mid-market, annual contracts, published-ish. Third-party snapshots (may lag current site): Essentials ~$1,245/mo, Pro ~$2,995/mo, Enterprise $5,295/mo (older contract/supplier caps). Current site meters third-party quota (250 / 750 / >750) with unlimited contracts on all plans. Salesforce AppExchange has shown lower entry ($625/mo) at times. Sales-led.

  • Usually compared to: Concord, Ironclad, Coupa, Ivalua, Sirion, ContractWorks, UpGuard (for the vendor-risk side).

Cross-cut for DataCube / immutable proof

Where the record actually lives

Moment that later gets attacked Typical vendor object Who already emits it
Envelope sent / viewed / signed / declined / voided Certificate of Completion / audit trail PDF Almost every e-sign vendor
Identity of signer KBA, SMS OTP, eID, QES, photo ID Docusign, Adobe, Signaturit, Scrive, Anvil, Vinesign, eSignatures (optional)
What text was signed Template version + flattened PDF All; Anvil/DocuSeal/Oneflow make fields explicit
Approval authority (CLM) Workflow / approval event Ironclad, Concord, Gatekeeper, Juro, SpotDraft
What the contract means AI extraction Evisort/Workday, Ironclad AI, SpotDraft
Sales-room behavior View/comment analytics GetAccept
Evidence pack as a first-class file “Evidence report” ZIP Signify (explicit); others bury it in CoC

Zapier density (proxy for automation-led distribution)

  • E-sign is a Zap-native category. Docusign (4,656) and SignNow (1,035) dwarf everyone. Cheap API tools (eSignatures 695, SignRequest 568, SignWell 471) punch above brand. Adobe (99) and Foxit (25) are under-indexed vs. market share because enterprise SSO/native connectors replace Zaps.
  • CLM barely uses Zapier. Juro (95) and Ironclad (72) are the only ones with real volume. Evisort (1) is a dead Zap; Workday will not change that.

Wedge logic (do not invent willingness-to-pay)

  1. E-sign incumbents already sell “court-admissible audit trails.” The honest pitch is not “you have no evidence”; it is “your evidence is self-attested by the same vendor a litigant will accuse of sloppy retention / migration / test-mode.” Highest volume, lowest differentiation, first-mover forces a response.
  2. QES/eID vendors (Scrive, Signaturit) already sell legal assurance. Independent time-seal is complementary, not competitive — hash the QTSP output.
  3. CLM buyers already think in versions, approvals, and “system of record.” Sealing at execute and each amendment / metadata change is the natural attach. Ironclad and Juro are the only Zap-reachable logos; the rest are sales-led OEM conversations.
  4. Filevine appears twice (Vinesign + Outlaw). One legal-ops relationship covers execution and CLM.
  5. Open-source / lifetime / SEO alternatives (DocuSeal, BreezeDoc, Signaturely, BoloSign) have the weakest long-horizon custody story — easiest “seal this so you are not betting on a $19 lifetime vendor” narrative, worst ACV.

Unknowns to resolve before outreach

  • Current SignRequest vs. Box Sign packaging and whether the Zapier app is still the live product path.
  • RightSignature standalone tenant sunset date under Progress ShareFile.
  • Official list prices: Ironclad, Juro, SpotDraft, Outlaw, Evisort/Workday, GetAccept current DSR SKUs, Vinesign standalone seats, Signify, BreezeDoc legal entity.
  • Whether Contractbook customers are being migrated onto Scrive QES seals (that migration is a proof event).
  • Adobe and Docusign IAM: whether the agreement-manager object will replace the envelope as the thing customers swear to in discovery.
