One customer, one document, one phone
A simple DocuSign alternative for a contractor
PinOnIt is a text-first office for small businesses: quote a job, get a signature, book a time, and send reminders by SMS. $8.99/month after a 14-day trial.
Plenty of contractors open DocuSign for one job: get this customer to sign this document. They do not need bulk send, template libraries for a legal team, or routing across a company. They need a signed waiver, change order, or job sign-off before work starts.
PinOnIt Sign-by-Text is built for that use case. You send the file by SMS. They tap, enter a code, and sign with a finger. You keep an audit record. That is the basic signature workflow — not every feature DocuSign sells.
Stay with DocuSign when the deal needs envelopes, multiple signers, or a contract desk. Use PinOnIt when the other person is on a job site with a phone and will not hunt for an email.
Who this is for
Contractors and independent operators who need one customer to sign a basic document — not enterprises running a closing desk.

Example workflow
The homeowner agrees to the work in the driveway. You send the change order or waiver by text. They sign before you order materials. You are not waiting on an envelope that landed in spam.
How Sign-by-Text works
Sign-by-Text sends the document as an SMS link. They enter a one-time code, read the file, check ESIGN consent, and sign with a finger. PinOnIt stores an audit record. It is not a notary and not multi-signer closing software.
What does PinOnIt cost?
PinOnIt Pro is $8.99/month after a 14-day trial. One plan. PinOnIt never takes a cut of Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal.
PinOnIt vs DocuSign for this use case
PinOnIt can replace the basic “one customer signs one document on a phone” job. It does not replace DocuSign’s full eSignature, CLM, or notary products.
