# CloudSign: pricing and assessment > CloudSign, operated by Bengo4.com, is the most widely recognised electronic contract service in Japan. There is a free plan capped at 1 user and 2 sends a month; on the paid plans (Light and above) users and send volume are both unlimited, so cost tracks contract activity — a flat monthly fee plus ¥220 per send — rather than headcount. Document import is free up to 10,000 documents.

A free plan covers 1 user and 2 sends a month. Light is ¥11,000/mo and Corporate ¥28,000/mo (excl. tax), plus ¥220 per document sent. Business and Enterprise are quoted. Verified on cloudsign.jp/price. ### Does CloudSign cost more as we add users? Not on a paid plan. Users and send volume are unlimited from Light upward, so cost tracks contract activity — the ¥220 per-send fee — rather than headcount. The free plan is the exception: it allows only one user. ### Is there a free CloudSign plan? Yes. The free plan (フリープラン) costs nothing but is capped at 1 user and 2 sends per month, so it suits trying the service or a very occasional contract rather than running on it. The first paid step up is the ¥11,000/mo Light plan, which lifts both caps. Verified on cloudsign.jp/price. ### What does CloudSign cost per year? Billed annually, Light is ¥145,200 and Corporate ¥369,600 including tax. Sends are charged on top at ¥220 each (¥242 incl. tax), so budget the annual fee plus ¥220 × expected contract volume. Verified on cloudsign.jp/price. ### Can we switch to CloudSign from another e-signature service? Yes. Contracts already signed elsewhere stay valid as they are — switching only changes where new contracts are sent from. CloudSign's document import is free for up to 10,000 documents, so an existing archive (PDFs from a previous tool or scanned paper) can be brought in for search and management. Because paid plans have unlimited users and no per-seat fee, there is no need to re-budget by headcount when moving over. Budget ¥11,000/mo (Light) or ¥28,000/mo (Corporate) plus ¥220 per send, and check cloudsign.jp/price for the current terms. ### CloudSign or DocuSign — what is the difference? They bill on different axes. DocuSign's Japan pricing is per user (Standard ¥3,300/user/mo, with an annual send cap per user and a 50-user ceiling); CloudSign is a flat ¥11,000/mo with unlimited users plus ¥220 per send. With 5 senders the two are roughly level; with 30 senders DocuSign is about ¥99,000/mo while CloudSign's base fee does not move. So many occasional senders favours CloudSign, a few heavy senders favours DocuSign. The full comparison, with sources, is on our CloudSign vs DocuSign page.
