The Gap Calculator

Firms paying per-seat e-signature licenses are mostly paying for a software wrapper. This widget lets a prospect put in their own numbers and see the gap between their current bill and what sending their documents actually costs on compliance-grade infrastructure.

Your current setup

⚠ Over the 100-envelope-per-seat annual cap — your real bill is higher than this.

The math

What you pay now $4,800/yr seats × rate × 12
What sending your documents actually costs ~$360/yr compliance-grade sending infrastructure: base + per-envelope
The gap $4,440/yr what you're paying for seat licenses and a software wrapper

At your size the dollar gap is modest — for firms like yours this is a workflow play, not a cost play: intake, prefill, sending, and tracking connected end to end.

Our build and support fees come out of that gap — scoped to your firm's needs on a 15-minute call. If the total doesn't beat your current bill, we'll tell you, and the call ends early.

Why we built it this way

Every number here belongs to the person using it, not to us — the sliders make the argument instead of a pitch deck. Two decisions did the real work: our fee never appears on the page (the widget sizes the problem; pricing happens on a call, scoped to the actual firm), and an honesty rule — if the gap comes out small, the widget says so and reframes to workflow value rather than inflating the number. Drag seats down to 2 and watch it trigger.

That second decision is the one worth stealing. A calculator that always says "you're overpaying" gets discounted the moment someone checks it against their own instincts. One that occasionally says "actually, this isn't about money for you" gets believed the rest of the time.

Formula: current = seats × rate × 12 · sending ≈ $300 base + $0.25 × envelopes over 100/mo × 12 · gap = current − sending, with a flag when volume exceeds the incumbent's per-seat envelope cap.
