What is the Start Plan?

The Start Plan goes far beyond a basic subscription package. It is the definitive gateway to the digitization of businesses that need to eliminate paper immediately, without investing in technical infrastructure or complex training.

In a business scenario where time dictates the pace of conversions, Start acts as a driver of rapid efficiency. It was designed especially for the self-employed, small businesses and small teams that require agility. In practice, it allows smaller operations to formalize agreements with the same security and probative force as large corporations, freeing up time from red tape to focus on what actually generates value and revenue.

Purpose: Simplicity, Economy, and Total Legal Validity

Many companies delay digital transformation for fear of lengthy implementations or software that is difficult to operate. The Start plan eliminates these objections, acting as an immediate facilitator on three clear fronts:

  • Simplicity: The platform is built to have no learning curve. An example is the independent realtor who has to close about 20 rental contracts a month and doesn't have time for complex training. All you have to do is upload the PDF of the contract to the platform, enter the data of the signatories and fire. In a few clicks, the red tape is solved.
  • Immediate savings: To replace paper is to stop a cash flow leak. A small clinic, for example, with a team of 3 receptionists who handle 50 monthly consent forms, stops spending hundreds of reais on prints, motoboys, and physical file folders. Start's entry fee (starting at R$ 39/month) is payable within the first week of use.
  • Unquestionable legal validity: Drawing a signature with the mouse on a regular PDF reader offers a gigantic legal risk in the event of a dispute. Start, on the other hand, shields agreements by generating an audit trail (Audit Trail) robust. The system collects incontrovertible technical evidence at the exact time of subscription, such as IP address, date, time, and geolocation. This guarantees the integrity of the document and full compliance with Provisional Measure No. 2,200-2/2001 and Law No. 14,063/2020.

Self-Service Model: Immediate and Non-Loyalty Hiring

Bureaucracy is the greatest enemy of agile sales and hiring. If software requires you to go through lengthy alignment meetings just to start using it, it has already failed in its mission to optimize your time. For this reason, the great strategic differential of the Start Plan is autonomy, operating on a model Self-Service (self-service).

If your need is for now, such as a independent financial advisor If you need to sign an advisory contract today to guarantee the week's billing, Start is the exact answer. The process takes place without friction: the contract is made directly through the site via credit card and, in less than 5 minutes, your account is cleared and ready for the first shot.

In addition to instant activation, this model eliminates the traditional contractual “restraints” of the software market. The recurrence is monthly, guaranteeing total financial control.

Think about the reality of a small accounting office (with 2 to 4 employees) who experience a seasonal peak in demand between March and May, when the Income Tax is filed. In those months, the office has to quickly process around 100 powers of attorney and declarations. After this period of high, the volume of documents falls. With the Start Plan, the manager has the freedom to adapt or cancel the subscription as the business demands, without fines, without hidden fees and without headaches. It's technology adapting to cash flow, not the other way around.

Payment Methods and Account Clearance

Based on the real behavior and daily needs of our clients, Clicksign made the payment methods for the Start Plan more flexible. The objective is to serve both the entrepreneur seeking instant agility and the company that has strict financial rules.

As the plan operates on the prepaid model, access to the shipping quota is released as soon as payment is confirmed. To adapt to the client's cash flow, Start offers two main modalities:

  • Credit card (immediate release): Ideal for those with an emergency. Think of an independent realtor who, in the middle of Friday afternoon, must send 5 urgent rental contracts to guarantee the commission for the week. When opting for a credit card, the plan is released instantly. Within minutes, it uploads the PDFs and triggers the links to the tenants and landlords.
  • Bank slip (exclusive for Legal Entities): Designed for companies that need to respect an internal financial approval flow. Imagine a small accounting office (with a team of 5 people processing 100 documents a month, such as powers of attorney and delivery receipts). The office's financial department may not operate with a corporate card, requiring a bill to schedule payment in the bank's system. Clicksign offers this option for CNPJ accounts, ensuring that access is released immediately after bank clearing.

Regardless of the method chosen, the premise is the same: removing friction from contracting and allowing a transaction with legal validity as soon as possible.

Start Plan Pricing and Limits Schedule (2026)

Check out the official values and limits of each package below to make your choice easier. The great differential of this structure is the democratization of technology: all Start packages provide exactly the same level of legal security, legal validity and functionality. The only variable is the monthly shipping allowance, which allows the platform to scale precisely at the pace of your company's growth.

The amounts above refer to the monthly contract (Self). If you exceed your package limit in a peak month, the operation is not blocked. The system only accounts for the amount of the excess document in a transparent manner on the next invoice.

Who is Start the Best Choice for?

The Start Plan is not a generic solution. It was designed with surgical precision to suit those who need to close deals quickly, without the complexity of heavy integrations or long periods of adaptation.

How does the plan allow for shared account management by a team of up to 5 users and offers packages of 20 to 200 shipments, it fits perfectly with the reality of operations that are taking their first steps in digital transformation. If your business model fits one of the profiles below, Start is the efficiency lever you are looking for.

The Small Business Owner (CNPJ) Seeking Stability

For the owner of an already formalized small business, operational and financial predictability is everything. Example: the owner of a small business providing outsourced services (such as IT and facilities maintenance) that signs 12-month contracts with clients and partners. He cannot afford to have documents lost in drawers, delays in starting the operation due to a motorbike, or, even worse, contested signatures in the future.

The Start Plan delivers exactly the stability and governance that this profile requires, but without the complexity of cumbersome corporate systems.

With the possibility of including up to 5 users in the same account, the entrepreneur is able to decentralize the operation, allowing their financial or commercial to fire the documents and maintaining full control of the process. In addition, security is high at the corporate level right in the entry package: Start already includes robust authentication methods at no additional cost, such as PIX, Digital Certificate, Handwritten Signature and Official Document Verification.

The result is a small company that transmits extreme professionalism from the first contact, ensuring that each signed contract is a legally shielded asset, with fixed and 100% predictable monthly costs.

The Liberal Professional that Operates as a Company

Many self-employed professionals make the mistake of treating their agreements informally just because they don't have a CNPJ or a large structure. An architect, marketing consultant, or developer freelancer they are, in practice, “one-person companies”. For this profile, time is the scarcest and most valuable resource: every hour spent printing papers, going to the post office, or charging subscriptions is one hour less dedicated to performing the service that really matters.

The Start Plan (especially in the package) Start 20, R$ 39.00/month) is the ideal partner for solo entrepreneurs. It solves two main pains at once:

First, he Raise the bar of professionalism. Sending a commercial proposal, a quote, or an NDA (Confidentiality Agreement) through a platform with an audit trail and legal validity transmits an image of extreme authority and organization to the end customer. It's putting an end to the amateurism of just sending an “agreement” via email or text message.

Second, he guarantees legal security against default and breaches of agreement. As Start collects all the technical evidence (IP, date and geolocation), the liberal professional now has a contract with irrefutable probative force, without having to bear the high costs of notarizing a notary. It's technology working to protect the time and revenue of those who make the business go by itself.

Managers that Operate with Manual Flows and Lean Teams

Not every operation requires complex automations or mass mailings of thousands of standardized documents. Often, the value of your business lies precisely in personalization. Think of the manager of a boutique advertising agency or a specialized consultancy: each commercial proposal, each service provision contract (SLA) or scope of project is unique, tailor-made for that specific client.

For this scenario, the Start Plan shines by optimizing manual flow. It's the perfect tool for those who work on the “file-by-file upload” model. The platform was designed to ensure that the time between generating the PDF on the computer and sending it with legal validity is Less than 1 minute.

The dynamics are extremely simple and do not require technical knowledge:

  1. You (or your team) upload the PDF to Clicksign.
  2. It visually selects on the screen where the customer needs to sign.
  3. Toss the link directly to the email of those involved.

And speaking of a team, decentralized management is a great asset here. As the plan allows up to 5 users on the same account, the manager need not be the company's operational bottleneck. He can delegate this task of “uploading and sending” contracts to his administrative assistant or sales executive, maintaining full visibility and control over the document panel (knowing exactly who sent it, who has already signed it, and who is still pending).

It's the perfect combination of an artisanal process and digital speed, ensuring that your lean team focuses on closing deals, not on organizing paperwork.

Real Estate Sector: Independent Directors and Brokers

In the real estate market, vacation time is synonymous with loss. Each day that a property is empty waiting for paperwork to be completed is one day lower in profitability for the owner and less commission for the real estate agency.

For small administrators (with teams of 3 to 5 people) or independent brokers who process between 50 and 100 monthly documents, the biggest pain is undoubtedly logistics. Printing a residential lease agreement, dispatching via motorbike to the tenant, then to the guarantor, and finally to the landlord, is an exhausting cycle that blocks cash flow and cools down the business.

Plan Start attacks that bottleneck at the root. By digitizing this process, real estate is able to reduce the closing time of contracts by up to 80%, transforming a wait of days into a few hours.

Start's main highlight for this niche is Handwritten Signature, an authentication method already included in the plan at no additional cost. With it, formalization loses complexity:

  • Easy to join: The tenant or landlord opens the document directly on their smartphone and simply draws their signature on the screen with their finger. It's a family experience, intuitive and that eliminates any technological objection on the part of the customer.
  • Agility in surveys: In addition to the main contracts, Start optimizes the routine of surveys. The broker checks the entry or exit of the property itself, uploads the term (PDF) to the platform and collects the tenant's signature right there, in person, through the cell phone screen. The key is only delivered with the legal backup duly filed.

Legal Sector: Law Firms in the Process of Digitization

Lawyers deal with risk mitigation on a daily basis. For this reason, the transition from paper to digital in small offices (with teams of 2 to 5 professionals) often encounters a classic and natural objection: insecurity about the legal validity of the document.

When entering into a fee agreement or collecting a power of attorney to act in court, the last thing a lawyer wants is to have their client's signature challenged by a judge or the opposing party. Printed paper conveys a false sense of security, while the red tape of notarizing notaries delays the start of the work and reduces the relationship with the client.

The Start Plan dissolves this insecurity by delivering the highest evidentiary rigor in the Brazilian market right in your entry package. The major difference for the legal sector is that the platform already includes, at no additional cost, authentication methods that shield the document against any attempt to refute it:

  • Authentication via PIX: The system crosses the signer's data directly with the Central Bank's database at the time of signing. This guarantees, instantly and unquestionably, that whoever is signing the power of attorney is, in fact, the holder of the CPF.
  • Digital Certificate (ICP-Brazil): For very high-risk documents or specific procedural requirements, Start allows qualified electronic signatures. This method has the same legal validity and presumption of veracity as a notarized physical signature, and is accepted without reservation in the PJe (Electronic Judicial Procedure) and in any court in the country.

For the modern lawyer, this means sending a fee contract to a client in another city or state and having it signed and notarized in minutes, with the absolute peace of mind of having a title with full enforceable force in hand.

Accounting and HR: Small Personal Department Operations

In personal departments and accounting offices, paper isn't just a logistical nuisance: it's a potential labor liability. Imagine an accounting office or the HR of a small company (with 2 to 5 employees in the sector) that needs to manage the sending of 50 to 100 monthly documents, including admission kits, vacation receipts, payslips, and equipment liability terms (such as the delivery of a notebook to the employee).

The biggest pain of this operation is not only collecting the signature, but archive and track that paperwork. The loss of a single term of physical liability can be costly in the event of employment litigation. In addition, HR managers tend to waste valuable hours of their week just charging employees: “Have you signed that receipt yet?”.

The Start Plan transforms this chaos into instant governance through its Centralized Management Panel.

By digitizing this flow, the department gains absolute control. Through the panel, it is possible to:

  • Real-time monitoring: View exactly who signed it, who opened the document, and who still has a pending signature, all on a single screen.
  • Failsafe organization and archiving: Once the collaborator signs, the final document (together with their Evidence Dossier) is automatically archived in the Clicksign cloud and a copy is sent to the email of the parties involved. The physical file ceases to exist and, with it, the risk of loss.
  • Agility in Onboarding: The admission kit for a new talent can be triggered and signed days before the official start, ensuring that the employee's first day is focused on integrating into the company's culture, and not on filling out forms with a pen.

Why replace Gov.br with the Start Plan?

The Gov.br portal democratized access to electronic signatures in Brazil, but the “free” model hides an invisible and quite high cost for businesses: friction. When a company decides to use Gov.br to formalize commercial contracts, it is, in practice, transferring all technological and bureaucratic complexity into the hands of its client.

For a document to be signed on the government portal, the signer must have an active account (often with a Silver or Gold security level), remember their password and navigate through an interface that was not designed for sales conversion. The result is predictable: the customer does not remember the access data, the formalization stagnates and the closing of the deal is considerably delayed.

The Start Plan eliminates this friction immediately. With it, it is possible to offer a barrier-free experience. Your customer receives a link directly in the email, clicks and signs in seconds, using extremely intuitive methods, such as drawing the signature on the mobile device screen or validating the identity using the PIX. There's no need to create accounts, install apps, or recover passwords.

In addition to the conversion speed, Start also provides the governance that Gov.br simply cannot deliver. Because it is a government tool focused on citizens (individual use), the portal does not offer corporate management. With Start, your company gains a centralized dashboard, which can be shared by a team of up to 5 users, to follow up on those who have already signed in real time, send automatic reminders and keep audit trails organized in the cloud. It's the definitive leap from an improvised process to a truly professional and profitable operation.

Volumetry and Operational Limits of the Start Plan

To get the most out of your electronic signature, it's essential to align the technology with the actual size of your operation. The Start Plan was designed to be the engine of small and medium demands, offering modular packages that keep up with your growth month by month.

To know if this is the right plan for you, you need to look at the two main numerical frontiers of this solution: the volume of submissions and the size of your team.

The ideal range: 20 to 200 monthly documents.

Start provides its best cost-benefit ratio for businesses that process between 20 and 200 shipments per month.

  • The Flexible Limit (surpluses): It is true that businesses have seasonalities (such as a real estate agency in a specific month or an accountant during income tax season). If you hire the package Start 100 and, in an atypical month, you need to send 115 contracts, your operation will not be blocked. The platform continues to fire your documents normally, and the amount of the 15 excess documents will be charged separately and transparently on the next invoice (with costs ranging from R$ 2.40 to R$ 3.00 per extra document, depending on your contracted package).

Team management: Up to 5 users

The Start Plan allows you to decentralize operational work without losing control. Your account supports the inclusion of up to 5 active users. This means that you, your financier, your administrative assistant, and two sellers can operate on the same panel, sending documents and monitoring the status of the subscriptions in real time.

The tipping point: When is it time to upgrade?

Technology should never be a bottleneck. If your company starts to constantly bump into Start's operational limits, it's a clear sign that your business has grown and your infrastructure needs to keep up.

You should consider upgrading immediately to more advanced solutions (such as Plus Plan Or the Automation Plan) if you fall into one of the scenarios below:

  1. Consistent volume over 200 submissions/month: Paying surpluses on a recurring basis ceases to be financially intelligent. If your monthly floor has surpassed the 200 document mark, migrating from plan will bring a much lower cost per document and more savings in scale.
  2. Team larger than 5 people: If your commercial or HR department has grown and you need 10, 15, or 20 people accessing the subscription panel with different permissions, the upgrade will allow you to keep document management working properly.
  3. Zero friction requirement (WhatsApp): Start ships quickly via email. If your customer profile requires the contract to arrive and be signed directly through the WhatsApp, this is a feature available only on higher plans.
  4. Batch shipping and data automation: If your team spends a lot of time filling out the same contract template with different spreadsheet data to shoot at hundreds of people at once, the manual flow limit has been reached. It's time to migrate to a plan that offers Automation features.

Practical Applications: The Start Plan in Different Markets

The true strength of a technology lies in its ability to adapt to the operational reality of those who use it. The Start plan works as the perfect digital foundation for companies and professionals from various niches that operate with manual flows, that is, who generate their own documents (in Word or PDF) and do the upload on the platform.

The convergence point of all these markets is only one: the need to abandon the logistical fragility of paper in exchange for the unquestionable security of auditable technical evidence (such as IP, geolocation, and time stamp), without losing everyday simplicity.

Real Estate Sector: Independent Directors and Brokers

In the real estate market, the agility in signing a document is exactly what separates a rentalized property from an idle property, generating only condominium expenses and property taxes. For small administrators and independent brokers, Start acts as a direct accelerator in the turnover of rental and sale contracts.

Main use in routine: Exhaustive motoboy logistics are replaced by instant shipping. The Start plan is widely used to formalize residential lease agreements, property inspection terms (where the broker and tenant can sign together, while still inside the apartment), and exclusive acquisition contracts.

The key feature (the Handwritten Signature): The great asset for this niche is the Handwritten Signature feature, already included in Start. Many landlords and tenants have a cultural attachment to the act of “signing the name”. The platform allows them to simulate the signature of their own fist by drawing directly on the cell phone screen. This familiar, frictionless experience breaks any technological objection of the end customer.

The impact in numbers: The ease of use directly reflects the success of the business. The adoption of the Handwritten Signature is so decisive for closing deals without friction that, when the broker realizes that the client signs on the spot and without complaint, technology becomes indispensable for their commission.

Legal: Lawyers and Law Firms

For legal professionals, the form is as important as the content. A perfect contract loses its value if the signature can be easily contested. For this reason, the Start Plan is the ideal choice for independent lawyers and law firms that need unquestionable legal validity for civil acts, without the red tape of notarization.

Main use in routine: The plan absorbs the daily demand of an office with excellence and is widely used to sign contracts for attorneys' fees, collect powers of attorney From the judiciary, conclude extrajudicial agreements and sign confidentiality terms (NDAs) with clients from anywhere in the country.

The key feature (advanced authentication): Start's great competitive advantage for the legal environment is the inclusion of Authentication via PIX And by Official Document. These methods guarantee, in a systemic and automated way, that the signer is exactly who they say they are. This creates an extremely robust proof of authorship and integrity, accepted without reservation in courts and in the electronic process (PJe).

The Impact on numbers (fidelity): The legal class's trust in Clicksign's infrastructure isn't just theoretical, it's real and proven. Once the office experiences the security and speed of gathering a notarized signature in minutes, going back to paper becomes unthinkable.

Accounting and Human Resources: Personnel Management and Personal Departments

The physical movement of papers between accounting (often outsourced), the company's HR department and the final employee is one of the biggest productivity drains and a full plate for losses and labor liabilities. The Start plan works precisely by breaking this inefficient chain.

Main use in routine: The plan centralizes the formalization of the employee's journey. It's the perfect tool for dispatching admission documents, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) delivery receipts, monthly payslips, and corporate equipment liability terms.

Real application cases: Imagine the common routine of a small retail or service business. The external accountant generates the employment contracts and receipts in PDF and sends them by e-mail to the company manager. Instead of printing everything and calling employees one by one in the room, the manager does the upload of those PDFs in the Start panel and trigger the signature links.

Zero friction for the employee: The biggest practical benefit here is the ease at the end end. The employee receives the document on their own smartphone and signs it in seconds through the browser, without having to download any app, create accounts or remember passwords. It's agility for HR, compliance for accounting, and ease for the team.

NGOs and Associations: Digital Assemblies and Membership Terms

In the Third Sector and in class associations, transparency and legal compliance are non-negotiable pillars. However, gathering dozens of people in person just to sign a minutes or membership term is a logistical challenge that consumes precious time and resources for these organizations. The Start plan acts as a governance facilitator for these entities.

Main use in routine: The plan is the perfect tool for formalizing collective decisions and the entry of new members. It is widely used to collect signatures for attendance lists at digital meetings (which usually involve 20 to 30 people) and to issue terms for joining agreements and voluntary work.

The big advantage (simultaneous or sequential shipping): The platform solves the chaos of “paper passing from hand to hand”. The NGO manager does the upload of a single document (such as the minutes of the meeting, for example) and the system triggers individual emails for each of those involved. Everyone can sign the same document simultaneously, or, if necessary, sequentially. It is the guarantee that collective decisions are formalized quickly and with full legal validity.

Education, Courses and Infoproducts: Enrollments and Certificates

The education market, whether in traditional schools, free courses, or the sale of infoproducts online, requires a fast sales track. Students who decide to buy a course today do not want to wait three business days to sign paperwork and have their access released. Additionally, content creators need to strictly protect their intellectual property.

Main use in routine: Start streamlines the flow of student entry and is used to sign contracts for the provision of educational services (enrollment), issue certificates of completion and, above all, validate terms of use of image and voice, a critical document for those who record classes with the participation of students or sell mentoring online.

The key feature (Order of Subscriptions): To keep the administrative flow organized, Start offers the feature of Order of Subscriptions. With it, the institution configures the document so that the student receives the link and signs first, confirming their financial commitment and image terms. Only after this signature is the document issued for the principal or legal guardian of the school to sign and finalize the contract. It is a clean, safe process that transmits extreme professionalism from the moment of enrollment.

Health, Clinics, and Wellness: Security for Sensitive Data

In the health sector, confidentiality is not only a differential of care, it is a strict legal obligation imposed by the LGPD (General Data Protection Law). Medical clinics, dental offices, beauty centers, and wellness companies deal with extremely sensitive information on a daily basis. The Start plan provides the shielded environment necessary to digitize this routine without exposing the patient or institution to legal risks.

Main use in routine: The plan is the security basis for the formalization of Free and Informed Consent Terms (TCLE), updating basic medical records, releasing medical reports, and joining insurance contracts or health discounts.

The differential (flexibility and recurrence): For clinics or health subscription companies with online sales, Start stands out for its versatility in manual flow. The reception or sales team can do the upload of multiple types of contracts or terms and trigger them on a recurring basis (perfectly following the franchise of up to 200 shipments per month). The patient signs the term on their cell phone, in the waiting room, or even before leaving home for the appointment, ensuring that no procedure is initiated without proper legal support.

Service Provision and Consulting

In the B2B market (Business to Business), time is the greatest enemy of conversion. When a customer verbally accepts a proposal, each hour of delay in submitting the formal contract increases the risk of the business “cooling down” or of the competition taking action. For agencies, consultancies, and service providers (such as IT, marketing, and maintenance), the Start plan is the definitive tool to protect the quick closing of sales.

Main use in routine: The platform acts as the commercial engine for signing value propositions, service provision contracts, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and annual contract renewals.

Agility in closing operations: Start shines in scenarios where the contract structure is standardized. The operation dynamics are unbeatable for the sales team: the salesperson or assistant changes only the basic data in the text editor (such as names, CNPJs, and values), saves in PDF, does the upload on Clicksign and trigger the link. In less than 2 minutes, the contract is in the customer's inbox. It is the guarantee that the company will invest energy billing and delivering the service, and not charging administrative paperwork.

Features and Functionalities: What is included in the Start Plan?

The Start plan was designed with a clear objective: to offer total autonomy and maximum legal security, without adding any layer of technical complexity to the operation. You don't have to be a technology expert to secure agreements. Below are the tools that guarantee the operational efficiency of this plan, based on platform performance data and the official resource table:

Simple and Fast Shipping via E-mail

The main sending and formalizing channel in the Start plan is email. In the corporate and business environment, email remains the gold standard for ensuring formality, organization, and a clear digital footprint for all parties involved.

Modular capacity: The plan was structured to grow with those who use it, offering packages that range from 20 to 200 documents per month. You choose the franchise that best meets your current volume, avoiding waste.

Conversion performance (80.3% rate): Shipping isn't just a formality, it's the closing of a sale or deal. E-mail is a highly effective channel for “hot documents”, that ideal scenario where the client has already been through the negotiation and is just waiting for the contract in the inbox to sign and start the project.

Agility in practice: The Clicksign interface was designed to eliminate friction. There is no need to read lengthy manuals. Just upload the document (do the upload from the PDF), indicate the email addresses of the signers and trigger the contract in a few clicks. It is the guarantee that the time spent on bureaucracy will be reduced to less than one minute.

Handwritten Signature: The Experience Differential

The transition from paper to digital often runs into an invisible barrier: cultural attachment. Many end customers (especially in direct to consumer sales - B2C) still feel the psychological need to “draw the name” to validate an agreement. The Start plan solves this friction by including the functionality of Handwritten Signature.

This is, without a doubt, the favorite tool of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the self-employed. With it, complexity disappears: your client opens the contract link on his own cell phone and, using only his finger on the screen (or the mouse, on the computer), draws the signature simulating the traditional gesture of pen on paper.

Drastic friction reduction: There is no need to install apps, enter complex tokens sent via SMS, or have a digital certificate to formalize an everyday document. Technology adapts to natural human behavior, not the other way around.

The “golden data” of retention: Ease of use doesn't just generate smiles, it generates predictable revenue and loyalty. Recent market analyses (such as the Cohort of Rabbits 2025) prove that the use of handwritten signatures is a game-changer. For the “Solo Entrepreneur” profile (independent and self-employed professionals), the adoption of this feature increases the retention rate on the plan from 44% to an incredible 62%.

The reason for this leap is simple: when the entrepreneur realizes that their client can sign the contract on time, without complaining about technical difficulties and with full legal validity, the platform ceases to be just a monthly cost and becomes the most strategic partner in their cash flow.

Security and Legal Validity: Authentications at No Additional Cost

In the traditional software market, it's very common for platforms to charge extra fees or require expensive upgrades whenever you need an extra layer of security. The Start plan reverses this logic and democratizes access to legal protection.

Starting from just R$ 39.00 per month, your company now has access to a robust authentication ecosystem, without fine print or hidden validation costs. This ensures that you can calibrate the level of requirement of each contract according to the business risk.

The following identity protection methods are already 100% included in the Start franchise:

PIX: A revolution in identity verification. The system crosses the signer's bank details directly with the Central Bank's database at the time of signing. This guarantees, instantly, that the person on the other side of the screen is, in fact, the holder of the informed number. It is the ultimate prevention against ideological falsehood fraud.

Digital Certificate (e-CPF/e-CNPJ): For documents that require extreme legal compliance, such as interactions with public agencies or the transfer of assets, Start offers full support for the Qualified Digital Signature. The platform reads the user's certificate (ICP-Brazil standard), giving the document the same legal presumption as a notarized physical signature.

Official Document: When closing a high-value deal or admitting a new employee, it is possible to require the signer to do the upload of a photo of the ID or CNH at the time of signing. The system attaches this image to the Audit Trail, creating uncontested visual proof of identity.

Subscription via Email Token: This is the Two-Step Authentication (2FA) method. In addition to receiving the link, the signer must enter a unique security code (sent exclusively to their inbox) to be able to open and sign the document. It is the guarantee that only the owner of that email had access to the contract.

Management and Control: Dashboard, Reports and Schedule

Signing a document quickly is only the first half of the challenge. The second half is to ensure that no contract is lost along the way. As the volume of submissions grows, managing what has already been signed and what is still pending can become an administrative nightmare.

To avoid losing control of your operation, the Start plan provides tools for back office essential, transforming chaos into traceable processes:

Management panel and reports: The end of manual spreadsheets and endless email exchanges charging returns. On a single, centralized screen, the team has full visibility over the contract lifecycle. It is possible to view in real time the exact status of all shipments (which are only “sent”, which have already been “viewed” by the customer and which are duly “signed”).

In addition to the instant view, the dashboard allows the extraction of complete reports. This is essential for carrying out internal audits, predicting financial receipts, and maintaining strict cash flow control.

Contact schedule: Operational intelligence is about not doing the same job twice. If you deal with fixed suppliers, internal collaborators, or recurring customers, Start allows you to save the essential data of those signers (such as Name, Email, and Social Security Number) in the Contact Book. When you need to send a new document or a renewal, simply select the contact in the calendar. This eliminates 100% of the typing rework and avoids critical sending errors, such as an incorrectly typed email that would delay closing the deal.

Administration and Flow: Subscription Order and Multiuser

A common mistake made by companies that are starting to digitize their processes is to concentrate all operational responsibility on a single person, usually the business owner or manager. The Start plan was designed to avoid this bottleneck, delivering flow management features that organize your company's hierarchy in a professional and scalable way.

Multi-user management (up to 5 accesses): True efficiency comes when you can decentralize work without losing control. The Start plan allows the inclusion of up to 5 users with individual logins. This means that your administrative assistant, broker, or seller can generate and submit contracts directly through the platform. The big benefit here is the internal traceability, because the panel records exactly which user submitted each document, maintaining impeccable governance and security of the operation.

Order of subscriptions: In real life, most contracts require an approval hierarchy. Start brings the functionality of Order of Subscriptions to automate that logical flow. In a rental agreement, for example, the document must only reach the landlord for final signature after the tenant and the guarantor have already signed it. You set up this order at the time of shipment and the system does the rest on its own. The document automatically navigates from one inbox to the other in the correct sequence, ensuring full legal compliance and eliminating the constraint of charging the wrong person for the signature at the wrong time.

Connected Ecosystem: Integration via API and Zapier

There is a myth in the software market that basic plans are “closed boxes”, forcing the customer to perform expensive upgrades just to connect tools. The Start plan breaks this rule by delivering an open and connected ecosystem, designed to accompany the evolution and technical maturity of a business.

Even though it's the gateway to electronic signatures, Start enables powerful automations in two main ways:

  • Integration via Zapier: For companies that want to gain speed without depending on a team of programmers. The integration allows Clicksign to connect to more than 5,000 everyday apps. In practice, it's like having a flow where, when approving a deal in your CRM (such as Pipedrive or RD Station) or filling out a line in Google Sheets, Clicksign automatically triggers the contract and informs you as soon as it's signed.
  • API: If a company has its own system, such as a customized ERP or a customer portal, the Restful API allows the electronic signature to become a native and “invisible” step within the software itself. Start also frees up the use of Models via API, which means that it is possible to automatically fill in the variables of a pre-configured contract (such as name, social security number and amount) and shoot at scale, without any human intervention.

Beyond Start: When Are Plus or Automation the Best Options?

The Start plan is the ideal foundation for those who are starting to digitize the formalization of agreements. However, the natural growth of a business will inevitably bring new levels of complexity and new bottlenecks. Identifying the exact moment to take the next step in technology, migrating to Plus or Automation plans, is the key to keeping operational efficiency high and consolidating brand authority in the market.

The Upgrade Trigger: Identifying Your Operation's Bottlenecks

Many managers make the mistake of thinking that the time to exit Start is defined exclusively by volume (when the mark of 200 documents per month is exceeded). Actually, the real thermometer for the upgrade is the rubbing.

If you or your team identify with the pain below, your operation has already “requested” an upgrade:

Low conversion and slowness via email: Your contract is impeccable, but the client takes days to sign simply because they are not in the habit of checking the inbox, cooling down the negotiation.

Waste of time with manual labor: The team spends precious hours of the week just copying and pasting repetitive data (names, addresses, values) into Word templates before generating the PDF to upload to the system. Manual flow ceased to be practical and became a productivity drain.

Need for authority and personalization: The company grew and began to close high-value deals (High-ticket). Sending an email with Clicksign's standard visual identity no longer transmits the robustness and institutional weight that this new market positioning requires.

Start vs. Plus: The Power of WhatsApp and Professional Branding

If the Start Plan is the foundation that takes companies off the ground, Plus plan (starting at R$ 59/month) It is the technological leap for those who place the customer experience and the speed of closing at the center of the strategy. The migration to Plus usually happens when the manager realizes that “just signing” is no longer enough; it is necessary to enchant and convert with the minimum of effort.

The main differences that justify the investment in Plus are:

Sending and Signing via WhatsApp: While Start is limited to email flow, Plus allows sending and signing through the most used app in Brazil. In the Brazilian market, where agility is a competitive advantage, WhatsApp is the channel with the highest conversion.

Market Insight: The use of WhatsApp is one of the most responsible for the drastic increase in the rate of finalizing contracts. In competitive markets, such as real estate or service sales, sending the link where the customer is already (in the palm of the hand) eliminates the “withdrawal window”.

Customizing your way (Branding): In the Start plan, the email and subscription interface is standardized with the Clicksign brand. In Plus, it is possible to take control of brand perception by entering the logo, company colors and use a personalized sender in the emails. This transmits immediate trust and institutional strength, essential for companies that are scaling the average ticket.

Cutting-edge security (Facial Biometry): For operations that require maximum protection against identity fraud (such as the health sector that deals with sensitive or financial data that operates credit), Plus releases methods of Facial Biometry and Dynamic Selfie at no additional cost per validation. It's the most advanced technology on the market to ensure that the signer is really who they say they are.

Click.AI: Plus provides access to Clicksign's artificial intelligence to make processes more agile. AI assists in the analysis and organization of documents, reducing the time a team spends on operational tasks and allowing a greater focus on business strategy.

Start vs. Automation: When Scale Requires Automatic Document Generation

If the Plus plan focuses on the subscriber experience, Automation plan (starting at R$ 85/month) is totally focused on the productivity of those who send. In the Start plan, the process is handmade: you generate the file, review and do the upload manual for each document. In Automation, the process becomes intelligent and independent of constant interventions.

Ready templates and automatic data: The great leap that Automation allows is the definitive end of “copy and paste”. Instead of editing a Word file for each client, a Standard Model. The system automatically fills in variable data, such as Name, Social Security Number, Address and Value, from a form filled out by the customer or a team spreadsheet.

Critical elimination of errors: Missing one digit of a number of a number or an amount in a real estate or legal contract can generate huge rework and serious legal uncertainty. Autofill removes the risk of manual typing errors, ensuring that the final document is always faithful to the data source. It's the security that high-volume legal and real estate departments need to scale without scares.

Batch productivity (real scale): While Start sends documents one by one, in Automation it is possible to fire hundreds of documents in seconds. Imagine sending contract renewals to the entire customer base or issuing membership terms to a mass of new members at once. It is the ideal plan for those who want to focus on Core business of the business and leave the red tape running on autopilot.
