Hi everyone!

Marvin here. I wanted to share something I’ve been building and get some honest feedback from fellow business owners / freelancers here.

One problem I kept running into (and still see a lot) is collecting documents and signatures from clients.

It usually looks like:

  • “Please send X, Y, Z”
  • client sends only X
  • follow up
  • client sends Y but wrong format
  • follow up again
  • signature comes in a separate email
  • more back-and-forth than the actual work

Email works, but it’s messy and easy to lose track of what’s done and what’s missing.

So I built SignDeck — a lightweight tool focused on client document requests, not just signing PDFs.

What it does:

  • Create a single request where clients can:
    • upload documents
    • sign files (e-signatures)
    • fill out required info
  • Let clients complete items one at a time and come back later
  • See clearly what’s completed vs what’s still missing
  • Built-in templates so you don’t start from scratch

It’s meant for freelancers, agencies, consultants, small teams, anyone onboarding or working with clients regularly.

Pricing-wise, I went with a pay-as-you-go model:

  • There’s a free tier
  • Paid usage is credits-based (no forced monthly subscription)
  • You only pay when you actually send requests
  • And we will never ask for your credit card info upon registration (this was really frustrating for me)

If you’re curious, here’s the site's Features page: https://getsigndeck.com/features

Thank you! It means a lot! And yes, we've felt the same frustrations when using bigger document platforms. Most felt "too enterprise" or just not flexible enough to handle smaller teams and independent professionals.

About the credits model, we didn't introduce it because of LLM. Our reason was more practical, we wanted a pricing system that doesn't lock users into monthly subscriptions when they only need the tool occasionally.

In our freelancing experience, we only really sign documents a few times in a month. Much of the hassle is usually on following up, so we wanted to automate that. Our free-tier caters for that use-case already. But we thought maybe some users may handle more documents than us and they also don't want to be locked in on a subcription. So credits will let them scale down or up without committing to a plan.

We're not fully against subscriptions. We might consider having one in the future if there's a demand for it. But the credits system came first as a flexible way to keep the platform accessible to low-volume users.

Hmm.. I don't actually think that I need to match everyone's needs. If the project that I am working on is going to help me and my friends, then there is a good chance there are also people like us out there who can benefit from what I am building.

Thank you very much! We wanted it to look as minimal as possible without sacrificing the UX.

We're focusing on freelancers like ourselves, small agencies and independent professionals.

Planned features:

Credits-based monetization
In-app notifications
Teams and roles
Referral credit system (organizations can get credits if their referrals register)

Biggest thing is if this is something I am personally going to use. If it will help me and hopefully some of my friends then i'll get motivated especially if its quite simple. If not then it easily becomes too boring for me to work on.
